International day today. I have been emailing a supplier in Eastern Europe last night and this morning. I am now on MSN with a client in Italy. Tomorrow morning I will be dealing with a client in Canada. Or I am due to. I hope to speak to the supplier in Eastern Europe soon too. This is the advantage with Internationalisation. Now if they could only agree with how to spell those 20 letters… Many people just call it I18N to make it simple… I, followed by 18 letters followed by an N. That way you dont get the people off side who cannot agree if you should use and S or a Z. And the like. As Rear Admiral Grace Hooper once said ‘The advantage with standards is that there are so many to choose from’.

I have just heard from my Eastern Europe friends, and they have suggested something to find the issue with the software. It seems to be working better, and if this fixes it then it was my problem. If not, then we continue back again working on it. So far, so good. It seems to be working really well. And when it is no longer crashing I think the client will be really happy.

OK… It started crashing again. Ok. What is going wrong. Ahh… I see. I stuffed up. I was trying to store two values in a single location, and one was obviously getting blown away. But what none of us could work out what was causing it to fail since the operation that was failing was happening in the background some time after the actual event. Not long, but long enough.

My vehicles are travelling far less, but it is not to the point where it should be. Vehicles are travelling thousands of KM instead of hundreds of thousands. But many of these vehicles should be stationary. Ahh… I know what the problem is. I have now got the ability to quickly change between databases… But when I did the track data is was still there.
