I'll add that I'd even prefer + .06% every week to .25% every month.

I believe it's "Release Candidate"

Either that or "Remote Control". I think the former is more fitting.

The last 1% stands for "move the Deadly Bar of Death to 100%"

We're making good progress on testing the RC.

Yays! Is it going to jump straight from 99.5 to 100 in the unlikely event there is nothing to fix?

Uh, sure...as soon as we've tested everything we plan to test. I'd say we're about halfway through RC testing at this point.

I was implying that the testing was about half of the remaining work, fixing bugs being the other half... which you just confirmed by saying you were halfway through.

Oh, well, not really. There aren't any outstanding bugs that come up in testing that haven't been fixed in tandem, except for some new things that came up last night. But I have some bad news -- my development machine wouldn't turn on yesterday. I think it's the power supply that died, so I'm going to try to pick up a new one today in order to resume work on this. But that slows down my bug-fixing by a day or two.

I hope you have your recent work on a USB stick? Just in case it's the harddisk or the power supply burned it...

the source is all "safely" in a code repository, which presumably someone backs up regularly.

I'm back up and running now. Yep, it was a dead power supply. Everything else seems in order, so it's time to get back to work

Phew! Next time, please don't post "DROD might die" statements without a warning to sit down. And/or take some aspirin for the heart attack that's bound to follow shortly.

My educated guess is that the bar's come unmoored from actual progress on the release and that we'll see 0.1 per day from here on.

I'm going to wager a guess that the first person to see it was named either Mike or Matt, actually.
