Stressful couple of days. Very. More deadlines (go figure) as usual. We thought we were ready, but on friday as it got closer and closer to 1pm when we were supposed to show our warez to the boss things started looking bleaker and bleaker. Don’t get me wrong, the team had performed awsome in the last couple of weeks, creating a whole new build system, and re-writing some major software from scratch. Some details that were pretty major went untested until that day, with the assumption that they’d work and we could spend till 1 working on the little niggly bits. Turned out the niggly bits killed us before we got to them.
I worked without break from that morning till around 7 that night (no food, oh the humanity!) when we had more fixed, and things were getting closer to being done. More work friday night after a great meal and some mental downtime. The problem I have now is there is a bug in the Java code (ScoobyD please fix!) that prevents me from sending off data, which makes things very hard to test. Luckily I can build disks for the disk/cdrom version.
