Today at work, I’ve:
- edited my MP3 parser (PHP)
- explained sync sequences and unsync to David
- improved my MOV parser (PHP)
- adjusted a maintenance script (Bash)
- hung out briefly with Justine Bateman and tried to convince her to switch from her BlackBerry to an iPhone for the far superior Tumblr experience
- improved a Cocoa app (Objective-C)
- dodged a cross-browser bug (Javascript)
- added an attribute to the reblog formatting (HTML)
- expanded profiling capabilities (PHP)
- tweaked an image-processing operation (ImageMagick)
- changed a proxy optimization (HTTP)
- debated whether songs had a “name” or a “title”
- played Orbital (they started talking about Star Trek at lunch so I retreated to my iPhone)
- fleshed out a feature evolution idea with David
- consulted with Jake Lodwick about an interesting idea of his
- blogged (this)
- listened to a few hours of great music
- not answered a lot of email
I like working at a small company where such a great variety of tasks is common for one person to perform.
