What's everyone working on?

job stuff i'm an employee.

A new release of our service management software (v5.0), right now I'm attempting to replicate the intricate code I originally wrote years ago to translate between sql code and the advanced filtering and sorting in the winform interface with the Infragistics grid to now also work in the asp.net interface with the Telerik grid which has no advanced filtering at all so I'm rolling my own. A lot of times ASP.NET stuff is like a black box and you have to throw ideas at it and see what comes out the other end, there's just no predicting what's going to happen across all browsers with 3rd party components. Reading through my fiery comments from years ago in the code I can relive all my original anger at the writers of the Infragistics grid control. :)

...and you're going to write an article on how to do it, right? right?? (I have an LDAP demon of my own I've been putting off facing)

I would sooner cut my leg off with a ream of fanfold than write an article on LDAP. Madness fashioned out of absolute sanity. Might do one on writing a ScrewTurn provider though, that's fun. :-\

You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

But I may be able to write a general article or two on some of the less controversial areas when we're finished.

Good ol' Win32 with C++, some WTL, and lots of COM.

While reading John's diatribes I just realised I have no idea what anyone's working on anymore. We have John Simmons doing WxF, Rex is into secret societies and I haven't done VBScript in ages. It's crazy. So how about a quick update so I can catch up?

I'm working on testing an ass-load of app's against Microsoft's latest patch. After that, it's back to finishing up my pending application repackaging projects, then on to writing a couple of automation tools for my "process improvement" requirements.

Banging my head against a wall trying to update the macros for a whole ton of Word templates probably written before I even graduated college. I have to get the templates to search all of our Active Directory entries. This part is done, I just have to shoehorn it into all of the templates. FUN!!! :doh: Also working on writing my personal evaluation for my annual review. It's that time of the year again!!

Just finished a release candidate for a major release of one of our flagship products and have passed it to the QA team (all C++/MFC9). Now working on an update to my first cross-platform device monitoring app (C++/STL/Boost). I was promoted back in the summer and now have my own small team of devs (mix of C++/.NET skills) and we are about to embark on an app to stress test a major .NET app we have (the stress tester will be coded in C++ - not sure which UI lib to use yet - I am a fan of WTL but the new MFC UI stuff is hard to pass over). We all get the latest toys - VS2008, Visual Assist X, Visual Build Pro, Boost 1.37, etc. Yum. For the record, I really love my job - and having 'staff' just makes it more interesting. :)

What a tush biter. I'm programming with an abacus and damn proud of it. It's all part of a "Chuck Norris Extreme Programming Week" that's being promoted at work. Well for me, at least.

Step 1 of that practice is a swift round house kick to marketing so that feature requests are stopped in their tracks. Step 2 of that practice is to repeat Step 1 ad nauseum.

Wouldn't you be worried of losing the ferret? Now that's an exception to handle!

Cross platform development with Qt, VTK, ITK and several other 500K+ line libraries. Way too much to learn. And VTK has poor documentation. There are 2 books that are well written but very incomplete and the generated documentation is not much more value than reading the header files. The download does have many examples though. But how much code can you read when you are behind time constraints?? BTW, all this is for a 3D medical imaging viewer with integrated cancer detection tools that we are developing in house. My duty is to put it all together and design the UI.

Sometimes I wish that was as low as we went. I may have to work on another MS Access project in the near future. Luckily those tend to be rare. I've only had to do maintenance one in the many years that I've been here.
