Busy Monday, What is New?
Tons of little things, such as: releasing UNIX account on several machines. The heavy one: learning Dashboard application and recording the order search flow.

New Cube in Santa Ana (2)
The first agenda of the day: complete the LR scripts for eDoc, and they were completed before EOD. The highlight of the day: Craig called requesting assistance with LR scripts on Dashboard project. It is going to be interesting...On the right, the cube after it was cleaned up.
Fog in the Morning
After having nasty brown soup in the afternoon, I am being served with a fog coming inland while driving down the I-5S coming into Orange County. Visibility was bad, less than a quarter of a mile, in La Mirada but progressively better once I drove pass Buena Vista.
It is nice having the ocean wind instead of the nasty Santa Ana one.

Perl Binaries Are Deployed to Machines in QA Lab
Finally, finished the deployment script after all of the problems were identified and all of the files were pushed to all of the machines. Another script was developed as added to bonus to check the free space on the C: drive on daily basis.
To do:
The LR script that clicks the buttons and links (outside Search screen) was finished and I pimped out a strange security documentation (firewall settings, etc) to all of the QA managers.
To do:
- Need to consolidate and put all information (free space, IP address, etc) in XML format so I could transform it to readable format.
- Follow up with the ePO manager, the person that setup and manages the anti-virus policies, to ignore certain files.

Swimming in the Smog
As I was crawling in the brown soup, called smog, along I-605N, I was thinking to myself: what have I done? Is it wise to migrate back to Republic California?
This is my second trip to the dealer and they fixed the tire. I managed to get something done while waiting.
BTW: the wild fires are under control and it is still raining ash in Santa Ana.

Perl Binaries Are Screwed Up
Snapshot of Perl Modules 5.8.4 are pushed to all of the machines causing the older binary to complain and shut down. Since the pNGSLauncher was down, I had to deliver the files manually to each machine.
There were many problems namely: crashed VM, FS running out of space, anti virus wracking havoc, locked files due to active processes, and file permission problem.
These problems were slowing my LR recording progress, plus I realized that I was recording the wrong environment, QA's environment was populated with an older build for immediate release, I was supposed to record on the developer's environment. No wonder I didn't see necessary changes to fulfill the requirement.
Well, at least I practiced the deployment script prior to 5.10.x deployment.

Weekly Meeting and Recording Buttons on eDoc Search Screen
Tuesday, weekly meeting day! Also the day where I cursed Outlook for loading too slow and frantically typed the status report in the morning.
Debbie got me a new phone line.
Also, today I recorded LR script for eDoc project, plus scratching my head due to weird changes on the search screen.

Perl 5.10 Nears Code Freeze, Release
Hear, hear: Perl 5.10.0 nears code freeze, release. Couldn't wait for ActiveState to release new Win32 binary since our production is currently using 5.6.1/5.8.4. Testing and upgrade are time hogging processes.
