Daily musings and catch-up

so, i finally get around to updating my blog. (god - i didn't know this was going to be such a chore)

what can i tell you? (i guess you don't care & i guess no one else but i will read this, so ...)

well, yesterday i scrambled to finish the «m0» test device for /TV/. i asked that he stress-test (preferable via script) to see if he could find any holes or performance issues. (i expect he'll find none.) i got no reply from him after he accepted my inventory offer. ((sigh))

once that was done, i turned my attentions back to the Buddy Beamer. dunno if it'll ever get used. i'm reluctant to release the source code until i know the new Buddy display system will be adopted. (i'm tired of seeing my code floating around uncredited.) i managed to get it into a distributed package, signed off, went to bed, and then had a "Eureka!" moment. (of course that stopped me from sleeping.) first thing this morning i added the "new feature" i thought of and redelivered the package. (the "new feature" was more like, "shit! why didn't i do that!")

so -- after i delivered the update (the 1st package drop went unack'd), i get an IM from /TC/ that she thinks she's going to leave the Mentors. i was surprised. (rarely do others seem to be as "passionate" as i am.) apparently she had a meeting with several lindens that didn't go too well. she felt they were being unjust, unilaterally judgmental, and stifling. in all honesty, i understand /TC/'s point of view. that being said, i understand (and have 1st-hand experience with) the "parental authority" often displayed by the lindens. (but hey! i "get where they're coming from" to a great degree; i, too, work in an environment where you're challenged daily by uppity people yet must remain cool and collected. at least i get to see RL expressions and body language to help guide my responses.) regardless, in this case i don't think the lindens were being unreasonable. they did offer a fair compromise. maybe after tempers cool ...
