And everything was fine, except that I really did not want to attend a standup meeting while sitting in the airport waiting for boarding. So I just posted my progress on slack.
Oh, and I was investigating the tricks to do to add a project to Jenkins. Basically, it’s just another pr, but there’s a puzzle. One thing is to add a groovy script with description, and another to add three totally obscure xml files - as I understand, these files were being copy-pasted with just project names being replaced. I think we could make it all much simpler, but nobody cares. So I copy pasted some shit, in a minimal volume; let’s see how and whether it will work for me.
Then our “customers”, I mean, people in Houston, reported problems. First, a “provider name” was wrong. Ok, it was wrong in Jira. Ok, let me do a db update. Which meant, I added another provider, with a correct name. Then they asked me to remove the old one. That would be a problem, because tokens were already generated, and they point to that “wrong” provider. Then it turned out that our provider ids are wrong. Because we should take ids from them (and why did not they give us those ids?) We were just generating ids (in a shell script, so replacing them with parameters is really not a problem).
And when I went ahead to do production db update, the airport internet decided that I had enough of it, and disconnected me. Why so? Because, well, our flight was delayed for 4 hours, and I overused the airport’s internet. Ok, so I pulled my French phone - but it decided not to share the internet on wifi, so, it was the first time, I connected to it via bluetooth. The internet was ok, but port 22 - no way. So I turned off something (FIIK what) on my French phone, and the internet became available. But not port 22. So I told my colleagues that oops, later, later, probably 5 hours from now. Because they changed our departure time again, now it’s not 20:45, but 18:30.
That’s almost it for today. I think.
I also could not pull some code from some repo, because, again, of port 22. Will handle it later tonight, or tomorrow. Tomorrow I’ll have to present my design doc, btw.
Having come home, logged in to prod db and updated the records I promised to update. The guys are in Texas and San Diego, so it's still daytime for them.
