Not Regressing

Work is going well lately, although a bit disjointed as I jump between projects. But I think I managed to fix a long-standing problem with some of our cookie handling yesterday (with a lot of help from another of our folks who set up the environment and ran the actual tests). We're still testing to make sure there are no cases that defeat the new code, but it's working in all the cases we've managed to recreate so far. This makes me happy.

Home has been disjointed too, but I managed to sneak down into the basement and complete the final fades on a number of tracks. I still need to go spend some time playing with SpectraLayers, but it's been busy and is going to continue being busy for a bit.

Meanwhile, the Mets beat the Brewers tonight to win that Wild Card series, so three out of the four favorites ended up losing. This gives whole new meanings to the word "favorites". (Yes, I know the favorites lose, but they sure seem to be losing a lot in this small sample size of the last two years.)

If you think of them as 'seeds' and not 'favorites', it might help. I think most people had the Tigers/Astros series as a "pick 'em". Yeah, the Astros were the higher seed, but the Tigers got hot (and healthy) at the right time. The Royals kind of stumbled into the playoffs, but never count Salvador Perez out, and Bobby Witt Jr is pretty amazing (if it wasn't for that Ohtani guy, we'd all be talking about him).
