Mostly harmless

The lead engineer saw the crash on his own machine, so more validation.

Spent a lot of time researching fixed bugs, to see which ones I could actually test. My knee was very painful, so I didn't join the gang for the mile walk to lunch. Went looking for reading lamps again. Lowe's didn't have anything rated more than  23W. OSH had nothing, and was a mess, shelf stocking was done by dumping things in the aisles. Big Lots I walked right out of - they are already playing Jesus music - not just muzak but music with words like "The lord bless us". Sheesh.

After work I went for a massage at the Korean place nearby. Good massage but they have traded in their young staffers for women in their 50s. :(

Costco, picked up the second batch of calendars. Home, opened one of the calendars, and it sucked - they printed about half the photos way too dark. They will be going back tomorrow. I may need to find another vendor - they did this to two of the photos on the first batch but not nearly as badly.

Watched a wee bit of MNF, then off to BASFA. Not as exciting a meeting as usual, probably should have stayed home.

Plans for tomorrow:
Work
Old Port Lobster Shack for birthday dinner
Massage ?

The Dark Side

Went to Costco to try to get a re-do on the too-dark calendar images. It took 15 minutes for the local minion to get the printing folks on the line (these are printed at some remote location) the bozoid there insisted the images were too dark when I uploaded them. Total BS, since they had printed some of the same ones from the first batch just fine, and they were too dark this time. And of course I adjust everything before I upload - they looked fine on my monitor. So I got a refund. It would have cost them a lot less to make the adjustments and re-print the calendars. Oh well.

I'll try Snapfish, since that's what Flickr is recommending these days. Good thing this is the non-time-critical batch.
