  1. Maybe I should suck it up and try to grow into a systems architect role instead of listening to people wonder why I'm doing what I'm doing.
  2. Lovely interview with Jenny Uglow: http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2009/dec/12/jenny-uglow-interview-paul-laity
  3. Lots of signal boost from coworkers in re Peter Watt's arrest and beating. Good to work with skiffy geeks.
  4. Response to every bug I've written in two weeks has been to "Someone should analyze the data." I suppose I'm somebody.
  5. horrified by Peter Watts's arrest/treatment: http://tinyurl.com/yaf55cz #peterwatts
  6. Lots of things that could be capacity problems, but not a glimmer of actual evidence in sight. Meh.
  7. In other cases, we need to be generating docs programatically instead of having a person write down, e.g. what the current page alerts are.
  8. Aha. In many cases, we don't need documentation, we need a test.
  9. some software falls out of date too. No one ever argues that we shouldn't write software.
  10. Just because some docs fall out of date does not mean that no docs should ever be written.
  11. Day 1 of writing long, complicated rant about change management and why we need to change our release non-process.
  12. brisket with carmelized onions has made it into the oven.
  13. hummus and bread for lunch, before the afternoon of cooking.
  14. Chocolate makes the world look better.
  15. The forces of operational incoherence are winning today. If I ever get my head off my desk, I will try to rally.
  16. Source control just provided conclusive evidence that the person who is never ever ever wrong is...wrong.
  17. Finally found someone who thinks it's a bad thing that no one owns the release non-process!
  18. It makes me crazy when hysteria gets better results from male persons than reason and logic do.
  19. World AIDS Day. #red
  20. Rereading Dear Enemy, which I like much more than Daddy Long Logs.
