Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it. And if you don't have comfort in that it is largely a heterosexual thing celebrating the birth of a child born to a asexual, brought up by not his dad who got nailed to a tree. A celebration of capitalism and inequality.

We have a work rule that nothing is deployed on a Thursday as quite a few people dont work on a friday so things are harder to fix. Yesterday the rule was broken and i have had to fix a bug in something that i have never seen before. Me and the manager being the 2 senior people being in today.

Why do some companies believe that testing software is optional. The same system was telling me that 2 topics "needed more work" but one was in meets requirements section and the other in exceeds requirements section. BTW this is from a software company that trains people how to test software!

I think standing in the rain waiting for a train to go to meeting that could be done online is a reminder it's probably time to retire.

Today i have been mostly using machine learning to do apprenticeship things ! Which has nothing to do with AI! I've been using data collected with permission to create a mathematical model to see if my employer is keeping more/less people happy and to predict what is going to happen in the future.

So the 2 4K dispalys arrived and seem very good for the money but i've hit a snag! They were supposed to be 2 hdmi and i vga input. But they are 2 hdmi and 1 display port. I'm not terribly surprised. But finding an VGA input to Display port output is a bit tricky!

Today's rush job is someone has decided the order that a project would be delivered is in a different order to originally planned. Problem is it uses the same pages and because its low code version control isnt a thing! So i'm reverting 3 months of stuff in a day and it didn't go very well!
