Today

Well, I got a lot done at work today - got the UI about half way integrated with the business logic/data access logic. Also pulled those two things out into a separate library (made making the service-which-became-a-scheduled-task easier, and will make writing those unit tests that I'll have time for next century easier). Yes, you read that right, there's not really time for proper unit tests. But, I may have time soon: we're hiring an intern. Wow, I never realized how little they pay those guys. Hehe. Anyways, he'll be doing DBA-like stuff. I get to teach him how to do OLAP (yeah, I'm such an expert, but at least I do know some stuff), and how to properly indent SQL (well, at least from my POV), and sprocs in MySql (which is the worst implementation known to man - why, for the love of {insert divine entity's name here} did you NOT use @ for the parameter variable names!?). I hope that we're able to get him in soon so that I can teach him the current setup, get his opinions on it, and get him to start writing some queries/reports. I think we're doing pretty well on the timeline - I'm actually about a day ahead of where I wanted to be. We ( and I) went to CompUSA today to get Yoshi's Island 2 for the DS for her belated Chanukah present. So maybe in a week or two she'll get her belated Christmas present. :)
