Same type of grey morning as yesterday (same 14°C as well) but with a few drizzle spells. Later in the morning the greyness and drizzle transformed into rain, even heavy at times while the afternoon became sunny. The forecast called it unsettled. Yea, that is always right.

I got one test run passed and the validations passed flawlessly. I do need a few moor runs testing various limits. Boring work requiring lots of concentration. And a good debugger.

Loek has tested (?) the transport cost implementation for V09 and has approved the change. So I applied the same change to V08. Of course this has to be tested as well.
By Loek.
He tries and doesn't succeed.
When I check in the L environment (for which I normally have no authorization) I notice that he simply didn't set up the condition correctly. I admit that setting the condition is not a trivial matter but while explaining how I notice he skipped some steps because he doesn't know how to set up the whole thing.
How the f*** did he test and approve the V09 adaptation?

Did I mention that my validations testing required concentration? Now I lost that here.

In the after noon I assist Jan with a few strange problems. There are a lot of records in the trigger file and in the temporal invoice files. Both should only contain a small set of records, lest say the amount of orders for one or two days. And the problem of the status-VAL records in the archived file I got yesterday. These three problems were reported from Belgium but it seems that in Germany and in America the same problems occur.
Which mean they are real problems.
I don't think they are related but all three are not explainable using the normal programs and they don't occur on our own system.
We don't come down to a solution so the fun will continue tomorrow.

Dave is back. Well not regular in full daynote frenzy but his arms are slowly un-knotted. He is using alfalfa. Good idea? I don't know, it's still alfa, I always advise to wait for a beta at least before actually trying.
He points to a discussion about
Iomega drives that is generally not favourable. I use both Jaz and Zip drives and I haven't yet run into a bad disk. Of course I don't use them as backup media.

My main use of the Zip drives is transporting files from the office to home and back. The advantage is that I can hook up that parallel Zip drive to the computer at work without interfering with the PC maintenance guys. I used the Zip and Jaz drive at home as a sneaker net until I got my network more or less built up. Just two machines are still off and will stay that way until I can string cable downstairs.

 

Football

Belgium-Italy : 0-2 (played yesterday)
Turkey-Sweden : 0-0.
This means that Italy is qualified and that Belgium just has to pull a draw against Turkey in the next game to get into the quarter finals.


Adios
