I Hate It When This Happens

The bad news is that there's a bug in the new parser that we just shipped.

The good news is that you need a customized file to see the bug.

The bad news is that some of our biggest clients have just such a customized file.

The good news is that they're not likely to take an update to the 4.0 version with the new parser soon.

The bad news is that we ported the new parser back to the 3.5.1.X version. And at least one of those clients will take that version.

I just don't know when. And everyone who knows seems to be off today. (We could take either Friday or Monday off. Most folks opted for Friday, but I'm taking Monday because daisy_knotwise is off then.)

I guess I'll keep sending e-mail...

Happy New Year!

When I went out for lunch, it was 55 degrees, clear, and sunny. (And really windy, which isn't a surprise when you've got those kind of temperatures in Chicago on the last day of the year.)

So here, at least, 2004 is going out like a lamb. I hope that all of you are doing well and will have fun tonight. daisy_knotwise and I are off to a New Year's Eve party at Dave and Helen's, two of the folks who help run Capricon. It should be fun. (Once we park. They live in Rogers Park, so parking is likely to be at a premium.)

If I don't post again before then, see you all next year!
