I'm not sure how many of you programmers have to deal with OS upgrades and compatibility issues that pop-up. I loaded Ubuntu 8.1 on my dev machine since it's probably the version we'll ship for. They changed the name of the rtc from /dev/rtc to /dev/rtc0 - that was an easy one. I discovered one yesterday that wasn't so easy. We have a lot of built-in debugging code that no one will ever see. I wanted to check something out so I enabled the "debug mode" and guess what, RICK ROLLED!!!! (crash) Well, 24 hours later and a Hasslehoff strength headache I figured it out. I called Don to discuss the issue and he had me try something that ended up pointing to the problem. All is well again. I'm just glad I got it fixed and we won't have to delay alpha code rollout.
Off-topic there is a new Guy Ritchie movie out tomorrow!!! Wewt! Even though his movies work off of one plotline they sure are entertaining. Can't wait. For now I will just stay in my house and hide from zee germans...
