News You Can Bruise for 2005 September 18 (entry 0)

(3) Sun Sep 18 2005 22:32 PST Is It Beautiful Soup Yet?: I guess it is. I thought I would just fix the performance problem, but then I started looking through the backlog and I couldn't stop myself and I spent 45 minutes fixing bugs. I held off on fixing some of my backlog because I don't trust myself to write test cases for them at the moment.

I finished my writing quota early and spent most of the rest of the day at the beach with Sumana, which was lots of fun: interesting rocks, and snowy plovers. On the way there Sumana came up with the term "Goohoo" to describe the Oxbridge-like brain sinks where about 80% of my CollabNet ex-coworkers work now.

What is your writing quota? And is a brain sink different from a think tank?

You're welcome! I'm sorry I didn't get to talk to you live.

My writing quota is 2 recipes on a day when I don't have work. And a brain sink is the source of a brain drain.
