Panicking in multiple directions at once
Feb. 14th, 2008 06:58 pmI was about to leave work at 5:55 when the hourly build process sent out an email saying (a) 22 unit tests are now broken and (b) Andrew Ducker is the only person to have checked code in in the last hour.
Clearly, this was not good.
Thankfully, the problem turned out to be simple (I was trying to stuff more than 65535 bytes into a UDP packet and MS doesn't automatically split it into two packets for you), so I just commented out the line that was trying to send the packet, checked it in, and legged it, a mere 20 minutes late.
When I got in I checked with the restaurant that my booking was actually for 8pm. For the third time since making the booking, a month ago. Because nowadays I'm used to having an email receipt saying "You booked a train/bus/plane/book. Here are the details." and therefore not having to worry whether I've remembered them right.
Thankfully, it turns out I have.
So I've gotten changed in record time, shaved, and am now back off out the door. I wonder what calamity will befall me on the way to dinner...
