As I close in on two whole months at Inform, the largest and most visible sign of that work is just days from a public unveiling. The hope is Monday, but I’ve been around my industry long enough to know deadlines usually slip like a dog on a freshly washed floor.
The better part of this week has been a good old-fashioned bug hunt and code cleaning. Its been so long since I had my hands in one of this magnitude that I forgot how rewarding it can feel when you finally best a bug and inch that much closer to the finish line. Of course, that’s usually countered by some persitant pain in the ass bug that won’t die matter how hard you try; usually a cross browser issue. And when you still need to factor in that curmudgeon of web standards know. As IE6…ugh. Here’s hoping this will be the last big project I have to deal with that piece of shit.
I’ve certainly earned my cookie today.
