Implemented my first functional test and was surprised to learn that the existing functional tests are finding lots of errors that aren't being detected for a variety of reasons: problems with how they are being run, problems with the QA process, and tinderbox problems. Worked with QA and the build team to try to get things fixed, however, most of the problems remain.
Worked on bugs exposed by my new functional test.
I'm going to be out of town from 20 February until 3 April. I'll be at Pycon from 22 February until 1 March, and I'll be in Utah the remainder of the time.
