Should work less

I need to figure out how to react to getting behind and having too many distractions in some way other than increasing the number of hours I work. Even if it does feel good to power through projects.

Today I finally finished fixing the build system for all the new bits of code I've written over the past couple of weeks so that I can build real Debian packages. That meant that I could finish installing my test environment, which meant that I could start testing. I've now caught all sorts of stupid minor bugs, the sorts of stuff that crops up when you write code without having ever run it. The kadmin remctl interface is now fairly well-tested, as is the program that creates and deletes keys in the AFS kaserver. The only thing left is the consultant password changing interface, and that's almost done.

Maybe I'll go home after my meetings on Friday and take a long weekend. I've already worked way more than enough hours this week, and next week is going to be very hectic.
