Old Boar's blog (Old Boars blog)

So far today; I've sent two bugs on their way (unfortunately they were trivial ones, more to do with interpretation of specifications that anything else), done the next draft of that d*()%d report, sketched an illustration and written a few pages of notes for "the book" and sent a few eMails. In many ways all of that is pretty satisfactory, but I wish that testing were uncovering more bugs. I can't help thinking the reason we are not seeing more is that we don't have sufficient "coverage" yet.

I'm trying to work up some energy. If I was bored it would be one thing, but actually I'm not, it's just that I'd like to focus on things it isn't really appropriate to be doing here.

In the meanwhile, I can look forward to continuing with "Foucault's Pendulum". I have to admit it is a bit dense but it is definitely intriguing

Another matter altogether... Quite by chance I stumbled on a website which contains some stuff on Aspin engines. Now that really is a blast from the past.
