Current status: feeling evil. We have an app that logs errors, but only as a record in the database. We just had the app crash, but no one knew until after the fact.
I've started creating tickets for better exception reporting. Management was expecting feature request tickets. I'm creating them as bug report tickets. They don't see eye to eye with me on that one.

BTDT. Around here, filing a bug against a stable version of something automatically revokes the stable designation for the entire project. People get a tad touchy about that.

Trying to get motivated for some data entry. And failing.
And now doing data entry with John Peston on in the background.

Going AFK for most, if not all, of another 3-day weekend. Going to be hell, again, catching up next week.
-
Swing by the circus and pick up some cotton candy.

Went to a brewery, had a few beers with a guy that used to work for Microsoft.
Hung out with a friend that used to work for Sony, now writes Android apps. Had beers.
Lots of beer and shop talk tonight.

Status: wondering why PayPal isn't sending any data with it's IPN call.

Status: Finally figuring out that there's a lot of activity because it's Friday, even though my brain automatically shifted to Saturday because I'm not working today.
Also, slept too long, now experiencing headache... sigh.

You're doing Fridays wrong.

It's a religious holiday here today, so no work.
Alas, not here. I live north of the "predominantly catholic" divide and so have to work.

Status: Still getting empty pass-through variables from PayPal in my IPN call.

Status:
Docs and moar fixings later today.

I'll be gone most of weekend, too. Fortunately, weekends are usually slow.

It's like an epidemic!

Status: Spent half an hour refactoring shit so I can add a generic "call this function" statement only to realize I have no way of providing arguments to it...
Crap.

Laughing at troll about "infintely" used as hyperbole, which devolved into people talking about dividing by 0.

catch (Exception e) { // ignore this error, it's a result of Response.End and unavoidable if (!e.Message.Equals("Thread was being aborted.")) { Logger.LogErrorToText("MethodName()", e.Message, WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name.ToString(), null); } }

That looks very familiar, like I may have written that before.

try { fi.Delete(); } catch { //continue on }
On Error Resume Next

Meah.

Broken pencil code:
return status = "Failed";

protected void btnHiddenBuildForm_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { (25 lines of code) } protected void btnHiddenRebuildForm_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { (25 lines of code, only difference is one boolean value) }

public string[] SaveRecords(int RecordID) { // CRUD stuff return null; }
Always returns
null
. Method name is plural, only saves one at a time.sigh

Status: Playing Ys III and laughing over this:
That's such a strange bug to have.
-
I have no context to identify what bug you are referring to. The only thing that looks slightly off is having a leading zero in the gold counter, when there isn't one in the other counters.
-
Hunted Road vs. Haunted Road
-
Right but without context I didn't know the bottom list was supposed to be the same as the top list. Like, for all I know the game's chapter is titled Hunted Road and whoever made that save named it Haunted.
-
Oh, I thought it was
Display the password
Input the passwordAs if those were instructions to the UI developer that got interpreted as literal text.
-
Right, I should have explained that.
Ys III - like all games of the series - automatically names the saves for you by naming it like the area you're in. Funny enough, there seem to be two lists of names.And yes, it has both saving and passwords - at least in the version I'm playing.

-
It gets even weirder.
"Mt. Seko" is the name used in the dialogues in the version I'm playing and seen on the in-game pause menu.
The Loading Menu on the start screen however calls the place "El Darm" mountains which seems to be a faulty version of the name "Elderm" which is used in the remake.
-
Which version?
I'm thinking of trying to get the TurboGrafx CD version and playing that.

Yep, it's the version with interesting voice acting. Such a huge letdown compared to Ys I&II, sadly. But its inherent not-really-anywhere-as-greatness has its own special charm.

Another from the broken pencil department of code:
error: function (xhr, status, error) { alert("Error starting app."); }

Status: flagging a post of Jeff's and telling him off in a PM on meta.d for calling me a t-rex and implying I'm not a man.

My old phone has a 4" screen and I would hate to have anything larger for a phone.
Given the progression to ridiculously large screens, I predict in a few more years people will be holding up 72" LED TV's to the sides of their faces to answer phone calls.

We already have the age of the phablet.
