 After a bunch of nonsensical microscopic "improvements in README", I got that shit approved, and merged it.

Having explained to everyone individually my further plans of testing it in Staging, how, etc.

But what do you think. Jenkins still resists. First, it does not find Gatling library on mvn - the one that my sbt finds easily when running locally. Second, it insists on having already built this shit, so this version number is taken (ok, by "client" part). I'll have to set the "override" flag somewhere in sbt configs. Later, later. I've just bumped the version manually now. I really want to go to sleep seeing that this shit is ready for deployment.

We had today:

- standup meeting
- Mahesh was talking about how he conquered mongodb that now deprecated map/reduce (obviously, after monads lost to programming idiots, monoids are next)
- planning meeting for the next sprint of our marathon (I was asked whether I'll continue investigating/fixing/deploying this memory leak - that's it for the next two weeks)
- sprint post-mortem, where we all were thanking team members for this and that. I thanked the two bright new guys for their enthusiasm and docs updates, and the whole team for being nice and non-conflicting (yeah, right); and everybody was thanking someone or more; I was thanked for bravely investigating and fixing this memory leak (this old plumber can fix plumbing!), but in the end I also congratulated the whole team on successfully celebrating Thanksgiving two months ahead of schedule. This kind of sarcasm was not understood by the masses.

Oh, and in a separate thread, our pardners got a lot of sanity. They removed all this "sort the table in the database"; instead they only left a question in their doc: "can AMP backend (that's us) return records in a given order. (Why do we have to do it: paged output.) We sure can. Discussed it with Bhargav, and the issue is closed. He also is almost ready to deploy to prod the code that does not wrap that specific boolean in quotes. Mission (almost) accomplished.

Also, at that planning meeting one girl complained that it's a lot of work to manually get a list of stations, per country, and fill in a spreadsheet. I told her I can help: step 1) download it from pardners; step 2) use jq to get the necessary data and produce a csv; step 3) import csv into Google spreadsheet (or into Excel, whichever she prefers). Everybody's smiling. Everybody's happy. Jai guru deva om...

That's it for today. 

BTW, did you notice how John Lennon and Steve Jobs are similar? Two charismatic assholes pretending to be peaceful wizards. (Fuck, who's asking... time to change my id.)
