I just did a 16 hour day last Friday to get all the kinks out in our software. Turns out that the Robot, still has a few flaws in its shell program. I spent a few hours yesterday confirming that. It would be all right if it was just a minor problem, but this particular problem can potentially dispense the wrong drug to a patient. Pretty huge, in my opinion.

The problem with our software is that we rely on other people’s software for ours to be completely working. In this case, the Engineering group is the one responsible to do the robot shell code. A few weeks ago, we had a similar problem with the cabinet group. At least at this point, we can draw a line between where the problem is.

I’m still trying to recover from that extra long day last Friday. Aileen does these kinds of hours all the time. I just don’t know how she does it, and then she has to put up with me when she gets home .

By the way, I just wanted to wish a Happy Diwali to all my Indian friends out there.
