So, in my most recent careering of things, I'm doing QA/Special Projects work for a startup in California. (Cytobank, if you're curious. I have rarely worked with more splendid folks, I have to say.)

Under the 'Special Projects' umbrella is a crusty little batch testing tool I'm cobbling together. Nothing spectacular (and in deep need of refactor already, I keep seeing stuff that needs work), but it's nice to get back into an editor and actually see code I wrote do work.

It's also pretty nice to think about the possible long-term implications. The mail monitoring system I wrot…

Set up a private SVN server on the web with Beanstalk; planning to have it mirrored locally, but until we can get a local one set up, we'll have the web one.

Mason project's going slower than we'd hoped, but we'll see how the rest of today pans out.

Today was introductory work with Mason, once we got the webserver's settings properly worked out.

Tomorrow's going to be some marketing brainstorming and more work with currying. :)

Today was pizza, hellos, installation of EasyEclipse for each of us, a short Heated Discussion about Eclipse and pros and cons of it, installs of Mason locally and on the server machine, capped off by some testing and promises to work on this tomorrow.

The current plan is to get us versed in Mason and build an example project together. Cross your fingers for cohesiveness.

I'm working on learning what currying can be used for. I tried at first to install from the cpan shell on my WinXP netbook, but this failed a large chunk of testing and I didn't bother attempting the install. PPM did the job, however, and after confirming the install is good, I have moved to flipping between reading HOP and trying code out.
