TGIF

After a week spent squashing buglets of various sizes and dealing with localization of our product, I'm looking forward to a weekend at home.

I think I'll go there now.

On my first skim of your post, I read it as "squashing bagels". Kind of a strange mental image, that.

No, no. The bagels are for breakfast. :)

Localization? Ugh. You need a week off, not just a weekend.

I never thought of the diversity of languages as a bad thing until I was expected to make software work in more than one. But every technology I've experienced, from the most primitive and ad-hoc to the current state of the art, makes me want to tell the durn furreners to just learn English, 'cause every one of them turns reasonable to work with code into toxic sludge. _T("Blecch.") If I really don't like someone, I might the Microsoft Layer for Unicode on them.

that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

might wish the MSLU on them, that is. Just thinking about it rotted my brain.

I read this initially as "After a week squashing budgies of various sizes..." and thought, that doesn't sound like Bill...

Awk! Poor little birdies...
