For one brief, glorious moment in time I touched code. Really, it happened! House plants can vouch as my witness.
Or that is to say, I’ve coded a lot less than I’d like. Barring a long overdue vacation to Sol Duc this month went toward a lot of random distractions…
-
Worked with Philipp on overhauling our procedure for flagging bad relays. Philipp’s taken the lead here and is doing a great job! While I find this space interesting I’m already spread too thin, so going forward I won’t be a co-maintainer for it after all.
-
Looked over Nick Hopper’s consensus validation change, adding crypto blob type validation to simplify his work. I now owe him a more thorough code review.
-
Handful of DocTor issues including OOM troubles, unpleasant amount of noise from consensus parameters, and a several minor revisions.
-
Discussed adding a new X- extrainfo descriptor field with Virgil, suggesting revisions and helping him make it conformant with the spec.
-
System I do development on died a puzzling death. Even after twenty hours investigating I’m still not quite sure what happened. Cleaning out dust, removing the RAID controller, and starting over seems to have done the trick.
-
GSoC administrative work. We’re now less than two weeks from the final evaluations!
-
Continued overhauling arm but as already mentioned focused on this a lot less on this than I’d like.
So little coding makes me grumpy, so like many of you I’m taking a hard look at where my time’s evaporating to. Maybe there’s something I can change or extricate myself from to better focus.
