I spent the morning writing software tests, and the afternoon fixing bugs that the tests uncovered, as well a few new features (and tests for those as well). Perhaps not the most thrilling work one can do, but satisfying in its way. I’m starting to get the hang of the debugger Affrus, and was able to use it to quickly pinpoint a couple of bizarre exceptions. Testing for this phase of the project is almost finished; then it’s on to the next phase of the project, which is much more user-interface oriented.

Before dinner I pulled out the French Suites and did a bit of sight-reading. It’s a bit demoralizing at how my piano skills have atrophied over the years, but I can still muddle through. Bach’s music continually restores my faith in art and humanity. The fact that I can play it, albeit a bit less musically and accurately than I could ten years ago, is a pleasure indeed.
