More Emergency Work

I got an ASAP job to do… A rather horrible ‘Drop Everything and do this job’. After working on this for about an hour or so I get a phone call saying, ‘do you think you will have it all done by sunday afternoon?’. ARGH. Drop Everything means I want it done within the next hour or two, not the next few days.

One of my functions returns a value as being SYSTEM.VBNULL instead of an empty string. What I have to do is change my code from saying dr(“PhoneNumber”) to dr(“PhoneNumber”).ToString. Except that I mis-typed .text instead of .tostring in one case causing me some issues. Just found another bug. I have a table called ‘HardwareAddres’, but there is only one “s” at the end. OOps.

I now know that there is a bug in my code. I have just instructed a friends car to shut down remotely. And judging from the fact that I have not receieved an angry phone call I guess it did not work. Then again, it would have helped if I had actually told the unit in his car to do something, and if the unit in his car had been hooked up so that it would stop the car. But they are mere details. The software appears to work.

Running

I am planning on going running at about 4pm. Maybe I will be able to go the three KM. We will see about that. I will probably take the GPS again, or maybe the PDA with the bluetooth GPS. Cute toy, and it is work related too.

Given the number of rush jobs I am not convinced I will be able to have a run today… ARGH.
