Under Construction
I make things on the internet
A fun bug story about crashes that only happened on Wednesdays:
After several weeks of frustration, where entire days devoted to experimentation had produced no results, I ended up basically adding printf statements to every single line between receiving the event from the serial port and writing it in the database… and in the process, as I revisited every line of that code, a sinking realization dawned on me.
Back from travelling, two hour morning conference call 😞
@AirCanada on a flight now, sorry for being pissy, but it was a frustrating experience.
@jackiesaik possibly in a week or two, or maybe first week of October. Been a few years since I’ve spent any time here. I’ll let you know!
@AirCanada yes, I’ve done that. This is an issue with your system… @AirCanada if I walk off a delayed flight and you hand me a new boarding card, make sure it’s a flight I can actually get on.
@AirCanada what I’m saying is you gave me a new boarding pass for a flight I couldn’t make, now I have no idea what flight I’ll be on.
@aircanada if your late flight gives me a missed connection, don’t give me a ticket for another plane I’m going to miss. This is crap. @AirCanada at least give us priority through security, so we don’t miss a second flight. Get it together.
@jackiesaik HI JACKIE! I’m in trono! Well the airport, might be back soon though.
Read two issues of @offscreenmag on the flight, good stuff. Was awesome to chat with you at hybrid @kaibrach (great talk too)!
On the ground in Toronto, my flight to Montreal is in 18 minutes and I need to clear customs. Don’t think this one is happening.
