  • Update on throw declarations

    My stats showed that my post regarding throw declarations in C++ gets hit directly through search engines quite often.

    I updated the information there so that visitors are not left alone with my tech-info-lacking ranting and leave with no better information about their problem.

  • Software-update, second try…

    Next week there will be a second try to update our software at one of our customers systems, which failed last time. My colleagues have fixed the most probable cause of this and I have also improved my software-part for more stability although it didn’t have any stability-problems. But who knows how long this release will be running until the next (hopefully very major) update, I don’t want to have it fail under any circumstance.

    We’re quite sure that this time the release will work as expected and without problems appearing after it.

    Well, for us it just has the look of a "service pack" because currently our software has improved quite much since the last install there and we just made some changes, bugfixes and minor improvements to that old version.
    It’s also already running at the upper third of its capacity because although there are only slightly more clients using it for which it was initially designed, some of these clients use it through a "proxy", so one client generates as much load as several dozens of normal ones.

    Our current software already has many design and capability improvements to handle a greater load and offer greater stability and flexibility on the clients side.

    Hopefully THIS version gets installed the next time and not another update of the old piece. Maintaining the old version is more difficult every time.

  • Cough, cough…

    Headache, fever and hurting arms and legs.

    I’m getting ill in the last two days of my attendance, but I don’t expect something to happen in these last hours. Been in bed the whole day, watching TV/DVD, reading magazines and sleep. But I don’t feel much better now, perhaps the peak of illness will strike this night or tomorrow.

    Damn, I have to get up on Monday no matter if I’m ill or not:

    • I have to pass on the attendance phone
    • I’m getting new shock absorbers onto my car, this should be the last thing to fix from the accident. Hopefully…

  • Taskzilla updated, anybody cares?

    Near the end of the last week, I updated our installation of Taskzilla with the new layout made by the designer.

    Now people have been using it for several days, reported some minor bugfixes to me and everything was fine.

    But today I recognized, that on the edit page of every task the category entries were completely misaligned. The category "Task Type" contained the entries from "Dev-Type" and some more swapping around.

    It was also impossible to add more CC people, if there was at least one entered, because the entry-field was disabled in that case.

    I wonder, why no one has seen this swapping before me. Perhaps this design is that intuitive, but I rather guess, that people are already used to Taskzilla. But why no one has recognized the bug with CC is a miracle for me… Does anyone actually use this feature?
