Eating Our Dog food
By Daddy
Las Vegas, NV — Microsoft had an expression: "Easting Our Dog food" which means that you have to use the product that you're coding. It was poignant for our group because we were writing the kernel debugger for Windows NT and we had to use the Kernel debugger to debug the Kernel debugger.
I'm to the point where I've coded the final screens for the new production backend so it's time to eat dog good. The first day was not much of a success; I generated six "must-fix" bugs to be able to switch over to the new production. Fixing these bugs is important because that's the code that'll produce the first screens in the next version of the site.
There has been a lull in reviews, so I'm going to spend the week working on testing/fixing the new backend.
So if you have a review to submit, this is the week! I especially welcome venue reviews. You know: Resorts, Bars, Restaurants; anyplace an older gentleman can take a younger gentleman and feel welcome and comfortable. Yes, Yes, Yes I know the current submit form doesn't handle that very well which is one of the reasons I need these types of reviews so that I can design the new submit pages.
In the spirit of "Eating our dog food," I'll probably be submitting reviews on some of the fun places in Las Vegas. It'll be interesting because one of those fun places is a small version of The Castro in San Francisco that has not one, not two, but five different venues of interest to visitors.
We're in the process of rebuilding our reserves. If this site has been of use to you, please consider helping so we can continue the work that has become a labor of love. I don't work well in social settings however I do work well working with computers and it's very satisfying to be able to help others in this minor way. Here's the link to the How to Donate Page
The bottom line is that publishing this week will be haphazard because I'll be nose deep fixing bugs in the new production backend.
Thanks to your donations about 2/3rds of the April bills are covered, I'm also putting donations towards the reserves. My reserves are on the rise and currently at the 11% level. Any help is appreciated.
