Feeling a Little Bugged

Mac found a couple of bugs in my code today that I needed to scramble to fix. Because Mac is really good at characterizing these problems and I'm really good at fixing them, I've actually managed to figure out what needs to be done. We need to decide how to get the fixes out, but that's a different problem altogether.

However, the fact that I know where the problems are means that I can go home and just maybe record some vocals for Falling Toward Orion. :)

Cards Win!

Ok, with Chris Carpenter pitching for the Cards, you had to hope they were going to win tonight. And when I tuned in and discovered that the score was tied 4-4 after four innings, you had to wonder what had happened to Chris Carpenter. While I watched, the Mets scored two more runs to take a 6-4 lead. Ick.

Since my throat had been bothering me, I went out to the Dairy Queen with daisy_knotwise to have a malt. While were were in the store, the Cards scored two runs to tie it up. I took this as a hint that the Cards might actually do better if I weren't watching, so when we got home, we fired up an episode of JAG on the pseudo-Tivo.

After that, I flipped back to Fox and discovered that the Cards had just taken a 8-6 lead in the top of the ninth. I watched them score another run to make it 9-6 and decided I could chance watching the bottom of the ninth. There were no problems -- with the help of a good stop by Scott Rolen, who'd gone in as a defensive replacement. (If Phil Garner had thought to do that in the All-Star Game, the NL might have home field advantage in the World Series.)

So the Cards win a game that they really needed to win and head off to St. Louis with the series tied at 1-1. Given that I wasn't sure the Cards would get through the first round, that's not too bad.
