Bugs, bugs, bugs

What an afternoon.

The morning went by pretty relaxed as I leisurely worked on a lower-priority bug. Then in the mid-afternoon things got hectic as I first helped a teammate work on a top-priority UI bug. Man, it was WEIRD (ok, at the time it was). The debugging experience toppled my years of Computer Science training. After a while we gave up and called it a build problem. And guess what, a few minutes after I started a rebuild, we received word that it was indeed a build problem and had already been resolved. :-) or :-(, who knows?

No breaks for me though, as by that time a separate crash bug had been given to me. The icing on the cake is that there is no reproduceable case. My analysis of the log and trace files helped zilch. I am betting the bug is caused by similar build issues. I hate such bugs.

It is now almost 7pm and I am waiting to hear back from the retest. Hopefully the crash bug would go away.

Update: the crash bug is gone. :-)
