Status Update: 10/24-30
This wasn’t a particularly productive week for me. Mostly I was working on the landing page, fixing some small issues and doing a new layout for the channel subscription section. I did a lot of work trying to make the test cases for guide work again, and they’re almost there. I’ve just got a couple hard-to-diagnose bugs. I also added a couple new tests for the newly-approved channel queuing feature. I’ve also made a little progress on the featured queue, but mostly that’s waiting on the test cases passing again so I can add tests for that before I start in.
Today I was working on an extension to the Guide’s error reporting mechanism. Currently, errors are logged to a file which I check periodically, but mostly I’m notified by Dean who’s notified by users. Now those errors are mailed to me, along with a bit of context so that Dean doesn’t have to play messenger.
Next week, I’ll be working on the landing page, a quick redesign of the error page to make it friendlier, the tests, and then the featured channel queue.
