Fixing bugs, in Tom Waits’ words

Mixing a sprint of bug fixing before the release and Tom Waits’ music results in interesting combination. For example, Crossroads describes bug fixing process perfectly:

And that’s where ol’ George found himself out there at the FogBugz
Fixin’ the devil’s bugs
Now, a man figures it’s his bugs and he’ll assign whom he wants
But it don’t always work out that way
You see, some bugs are special for a certain target
A certain platform, or a certain person
And no matter whom you’re assignin’, that’s where the bug ‘ll end up
And in the moment of assigning your mouse turns into a dowser’s wand
And clicks where the bug wants to go.

Uhm. Yeah.

    It’s all about 2.6 Web version release, right? I’m expecting the animation tools :)

    “Alice” is one of my favorite albums of all time. The lyrics to Fish and Bird are some of the best ever written.

    Good luck with the bug hunting – see you gents in a couple days!
