1. Work/Programming My pet project is officially in QA. Now the waiting begins. In a meeting yesterday someone wanted to use my pet project in a way that it wasn’t meant to be used. They didn’t really like the answer of “it wasn’t scoped to be used like that.. and won’t work like that without an update”. They can not…

Friday Five – Red will be the color
1. Work/Programming The code review for my pet project finally came in so I’m working on implementing those changes. I expect to have that done by the end of today and hopefully we can -finally- go into QA next week. I’ve started work on the design doc for the next version.. new requirements keep coming in. They want their cake..…
Friday Five – Summer is coming
1. Work/Programming I was right. I finished all of my code work (including the two additional features that crept into scope) by Thursday. So my work on my pet project is code complete.. I’m waiting for another guy to submit his code so we can do code reviews. Then we’ll be off to the land of QA. Wheee. On the…
Friday Five – Pennsic Test Run
1. Work/Programming I’m humming along on my pet project. I expect I’ll be code complete by the middle of next week and then have formal QA slated for the week after. TPTB say that after this minor release is done they may have me go ahead and work on some of the major features I proposed last week. All good…
Five Things on a Monday: Pennsic is coming, panic now!
1. Work/Programming Last week I presented my feature list for my pet project to “Those who get to decide what features are part of Monica’s pet project”. They’re interested.. but it turns out that none of the “major” features were things they wanted worked on right now. So my list of ~3 major features and 8 minor features got whittled…
Friday Five: Why -IS- a Raven like a writing desk?
1. Work/Programming I’m working on the design document for my pet project. Last week I turned in the feature list. Next week I need to start meeting with interested parties to describe what the features are and how I plan to implement them. Hopefully they’ll agree that they’re good features so I can FINALLY start working on them. Good thing…
Friday Five
1. Work/Programming HA! I turned in my “list of features I think the next version should have” and the biggest question was “who asked for this feature?” Interesting. I’ll followup with my boss on Monday to see if I need to change the feature list.. but at the moment I’m working on a design for the listed features. 2. Home…
Friday Five – I like to move it move it
1. Work/Programming Dinner last week with the boss went well. A group of us went to Credo in downtown SF. It’s a nice small Italian place with an interesting vibe. It’s very loud.. and the walls are covered with interesting quotes from famous people that start with “I believe…”. Their water glasses are made from recycled wine bottles.. and a…
Friday Five – Don’t look at me.. I’m hideous
1. Work/Programming My presentation went well. Honestly I was explaining something that was fairly simple to understand once you understood the moving parts (cross-domain cookies). I think this concept will come up in the future.. so I’ll keep this idea in the back of my head. This week my boss is in town. Normally he’s located in New Jersey.. but…
Friday Five
1. Work/Programming Humming along documenting all the new spiffy things in the project deployed live last week. I think I’m going to be presenting it to a larger group next week. Kinda stoked about that. I kind of like presenting. 2. Home As of today I no longer own a house. I’m ok with that. I find it stunningly appropriate…
