the interesting (?) life of a developer

as it draws into summertime, things usually calm down a bit. people are on vacation, and there generally isn't much of an idea to start any new development project. usually summer is the time for bug fixes, and last week was such a week.

one of the bugs we looked into I have mentioned previously. after solving one bug on monday, we started looking into this one on tuesday. it took us about half a day to figure out how and why it happened, and then we tried to work on a solution.

after about a day of working we gave up on that one as it would be way too complex to solve with our first thought, and tried another solution. that one didn't work either, even though we got quite far. so on friday, the solution that we ended up with consisted of changing a >= (greater than or equal to) to =, and moving a piece of code a couple of rows down.

feels good to work on that for four days...
