"Software Lead"

I have been assigned as “software lead” for my current project. Now I feel like the captain of a sinking ship. What really frustrates me is that I don’t view our problem as software problems, they are design problems (algorithms dreamed up by systems engineering, not software engineering)… I’m sure I could tighten things up and make them a few ms faster, but really the problem needs an order of magnitude or two, not a few ms here or there….

Bought a few CDs today… The new Deluxe Edition of “The Downward Spiral” and Kaada/Patton “Romances”… I also successfully sold the Boston Pops tickets I had bought for for Christmas… I screwed up and bought the tickets for the wrong day, and by the time I realized it it was too late, all the shows before she left had been sold out. So saves the day and dropped by this evening to take them off my hands… And here I was thinking I had crazy swerve coming up with an awesome xmas present…. :(

and Audra went to check out Ray but I just wasn’t feeling social tonight… I stayed home and watched VH-1 crap pop-almanac shows and ordered expensive take-out via DiningIn.
