Serendipity
March 12th, 2010
This week I’ve been continuing to work on issues related to the new Linux build machines mentioned in my last post. I’m hoping to resolve a few test failures on them before they get put back into production. Yesterday my morning was focused on this task and by lunch I was tearing my hair out. Over lunch with some MoTo co-workers we ended up chatting about these and the wonderful Ehsan ended up volunteering to look at one of them. By the end of the day 1/3 of the failures were fixed, and a previously unknown bug was resolved!
Big thanks to Ehsan for spending his valuable time on this!

Hooray Ehsan, indeed!
I’ve often wondered if anyone ever works on random-oranges and if they ever get fixed. It seemed like the last time I checked in, the random-orange list was twice the size I remembered it being last fall—and to add insult to injury, I discovered a new random-orange on that recent checkin :-P
I’m glad to see that at least some oranges do get fixed!
