Well, in the last week I’ve learned to run LoadRunner. I like the fact that its C-like TSL gives me access to a huge codebase and a huge jumpstart (ahem) in learning the bugger. I don’t like the interface or the fact that I can’t see the raw data myself and run reports on it. At least I haven’t found a way to do this. Knowing C from my early career (ha! five, six years ago) means I didn’t have to learn another language; however it meant that I need to use C and deal with pointers. Funny, I remember using Rational and thinking, if only I had explicit pointers in this blasted VU language, I could solve this like that! Now I am adding *s and &s to all my variables, trying to figure out what level of referencing they are at. Too much Smalltalk, Lisp, and Java on the brain. Need to think C. At least writing headers seems much more sensible in this environment. Bill had Dan send out certification exam requests earlier this week. 11:41:52 AM    comment []
