  • Wolverine was fun, I am in it for the explosions and muscly running so don't need more.
  • AO3 code deploy - many bugs fixed, some new stuff and much more.
  • Visited step sister, house broken into and car stolen but car returned and man arrested. She has friends staying and the window that was removed has been bolted down.
  • Visited brothers', baby brother has new cast after foot surgery and will not be walking anywhere for a few weeks, middle brother has given me a budget for buying him clothes. Win!
  • Gave [livejournal.com profile] pentapus back to the world, she gave me an awesome picture of me, [livejournal.com profile] maharetr and the woofer doing a deal with Veronica from Better off Ted. *worships*

In an ideal world we'd deploy code to Test for 2 weeks, then do exhaustive testing for 2 more weeks. Then we move the new code to the Archive of Our Own for the Beta testers to play with. We also find bugs during those weeks so we expect to be adding and retesting the odd fix. Things looked a bit exciting yesterday (day 13 of testing) when we worked out that Admin accounts couldn't Tag Wrangle AT ALL but [livejournal.com profile] elz did an insta-fix and there was some very fast re-testing of everything Tag Wrangling related.

We've not had a chance to give the new Translations Administration interface the kicking it really deserves but that's why we have a Translation Team - I'm looking forward to seeing how it works.

This deploy jumped 144 code revisions and included the Rails upgrade - every page is subtly different even if it's not visible and there is an amazing amount of designing, coding, testing and organising that went into it.
