Oh man, it’s been quite a busy week. For starters, beta testing on TGTTPOACS has begun, meaning I’ve got my hands rather full on that at the moment. One thing I can say for sure is that I’m glad I actually decided to have beta testing. I recall that with Cubert Badbone, I got so excited at the prospect of having finally finished it that I released it right away and announced it to various forums… only to be told that the download link was broken. And once I got that fixed, there were plenty more bugs found. It wasn’t pleasant.

Back when I was working in QA last year at a software company, I’d always get quite irate with the stupid mistakes that the programmers used to make (especially the spelling mistakes… ugh). Now, as the programmer, I realise that no matter how much of a nitpicky perfectionist you are, there will always be at least one little thing you missed. And as the project you’ve been working on increases in size and complexity, your propensity to making stupid mistakes also increases. Bottom line is: it always pays to have a fresh set of eyes look at your work. And if you happen to be that fresh set of eyes, don’t be too arrogant.

Anyway, what else have I been busy with this week? School, of course, as well as an interesting and exciting development in my life that I’ll announce on this blog once the details have been finalized. Until then, I’ll just leave you in the dark and guessing, because it’s fun that way.
