Ugh

Posted Thursday, April 07, 2005 8:07 PM by misampso
Work is pretty slow going now a days. I'm slogging through a lot of bugs and it's just plain tiring. Oh well, I still have World of Warcraft waiting for me at home :) Read More...

Week 2 so far

Posted Wednesday, March 23, 2005 11:15 AM by misampso
I've got 6 fixes sitting on my machine now and I'm going to try and fix 2 or 3 more before I start another checkin this afternoon. I haven't been working too late this week other than a late night on Monday. The team is bringing in dinners this week for Read More...

Sorry I missed you guys yesterday, we had a St. Patty's day party in the afternoon (my usual blog time). I spent most of yesterday and today just fixing away at some bugs. I only have 2 right now that are marked as fixed available (I've got the code but Read More...

Day 3 - Checking in

Posted Wednesday, March 16, 2005 12:16 PM by misampso
I'm going to have to cut out a little early today (early being 5:45) so I'm going to focus on getting my bugs checked in today rather than fixing new ones. In order to get ready for Gauntlet , I first have to get a code review from another dev on my team. Read More...

Day 2 - Product Usage Scenarios

Posted Tuesday, March 15, 2005 10:45 AM by misampso
So today, I won't be fixing a lot of bugs but rather, I'll be putting on my QA (Quality Assurance, our testing unit) hat for a while. QA is focused on Beta 2 right now so they're not paying much attention to what's going on in our RTM branch. When dev Read More...

Dark - Day 1

Posted Monday, March 14, 2005 6:50 PM by misampso
Fixed 3 bugs today, not bad. I spent most of the afternoon banging my head up against a build problem having to do with my Win Forms designer created resx files. If I can't get it going in the next hour or so, I'll probably just work with my team tomorrow Read More...

Gauntlet - Measuring success one checkin at a time

Posted Monday, March 14, 2005 11:23 AM by misampso
On the VB team, we don't checkin to our source control system (Source Depot or sd) ourselves like mere mortals, we use the automated checkin system called Gauntlet. Gauntlet runs as an .hta app that collects your unsubmitted changelist, asks for some Read More...

Going Dark (almost)

Posted Monday, March 14, 2005 10:52 AM by misampso
This week VB dev is "going dark" to fix bugs. This means we shut our doors, turn off Outloook, and get some real work done. We've peeled off Beta 2 and are working hard to drive down RTM bugs. By this point in the paragraph, you're probably thinking that Read More...
