IE is like the crazy old uncle who never makes any sense except when nobody else knows what the hell is going on. You want to open up some 15 year old classic ASP web app? IE will probably do it (where every other browser would crash so hard you'd have to force-quit). You want to open up a 6 month old HTML5/Javascript? IE will probably do it, about as well as it ran the 15 year old app.

Finally made great headway in my cukes, then ran into another roadblock and idk why. See, they had a handful of interns create a new automation suite, and did just the most critical path. We were tasked, once that was done and the interns were assimilated, to add the rest of the backlog to the suite. Bossman said "here's the list, pick one and go at it." I picked one that I thought was easy because we hardly ever do anything in manual regression for. Nope, it was the hardest one, and they didn't really do ANY implementation for it, just enough to gloss by. So that's what I've been doing.

Yay fun On the upside I've spent the last year writing a system to Automate an entire department of people out of existence You're not evil like me, yet.

A particular branch of the armed forces of a certain world superpower did not take the opportunity to repackage their content 14 months ago when we told them that the old server was going to be unavailable soon, and that they needed to repackage the content to refer to the new server. Now that the old server is no longer online all of a sudden it's my problem that their content isn't launching. Now I have to hack the new server until they can be bothered to update the content. If this was not a branch of the armed forces of a world superpower then I would have some choice words for them. As it is, I prefer not to receive a sternly-worded bomb in reply.

Welcome to the military, where "hurry up and wait" isn't just an axium, but a way of life!

When you say "content"... what sort of content are we talking about exactly?

EDIT: what I mean to say is, this isn't the sort of "launching" that involves propellent, is it?

Now while learning C i have decided to implement some basic data structures into my Algorithms library. I'm still reading the book Algorithms by Rod Sedgwick and implementing the different data structures he mentions in the book in C is not as easy as he shows with Java. The more i read about C the more i grow to like it.
I have also been looking at universities since now after a 1 year break after finishing school its time to start studying again, I'm planning to get a bachelor degree in CS. I found a university teaching computer science that caught my eye and I'm calling them tomorrow to ask some questions.

Usually it is not. Theoretically.

I'm presently grading Theory of Computation papers for grad students, which is a lot of fun! Tomorrow is my Data Structures lab, which will be fun as well!

Enjoying a compression brace. This feels oddly good.

I've had an utterly shit week and it's not even Wednesday yet. We had a small bit of storm earlier, and that was awesome.

my roommate's girlfriend posted this to facebook and I immediately thought of B9.

Got some of my Zend study material in. I am thinking next month taking the cert exam pending a few other things. Also received some books on automating software tests.

Finally got the api issue worked out, turned out to be nothing regarding my code of the logic but a missing protocol. Cleared a few tickets that had to do with operator error. After all that, took a break from the computer tonight.
