This was a horrible week… In the first three days we fought with a software of ours which was still being developed and had to be deployed in production (and the problems was from last week), so in the end we were able to fix it with removing of a lot of problematic components and with a few really dirty hacks on related applications… Those were days of going to bed at 1 and getting up at 9 with no lunch breaks (because then there were no users and we had some more freedom to work). Thursday morning it all started working, and I spent the day finishing some small stuff and got the Friday off.

Friday was nice. I slept through the morning (Mira woke me up at some point to ask me if I’m not going to work), went to fix some stupidities with one of the banks, went with my mother to get her bike, which I used after that to get home (somewhere from Pliska). Found out that I haven’t forgotten how to ride it, that I’m not really good at it and that the traffic in Sofia is not really friendly to the bikers.

I also went to bring my backpack for some maintenance and they really got on my nerves – their main office ( A.T.G. ltd, the official representative for Bulgaria) is at the end of Sofia and they explained to me that they have to send it to Belgium to be fixed there, which will take at least two months, and weren’t sure if my problem was covered by the warranty (and they should know). In the end the possibilities are to ether take it to be fixed somewhere here, or to give it to a better representative in some other country while travelling (the warranty is international).

I slept through the rest of the afternoon. Dreaming of the software we fixed through the week.
