Minor Update

It never fails.

Each time you release a new or updated piece of software, within a couple days (or even a couple hours), you'll discover a problem. It will not be reported by users. You'll just stumble right onto it, which makes it even worse.

It didn't fail.

Sometimes you even get lucky, a new update is not required. I wasn't. I had to release a minor update for IP Monitor.

Krispy Kreme

We went to the new Issaquah Krispy Kreme over the weekend. Waited in line for about an hour to get our "ready-to-go" doughnuts.

This was my first time, I never had any of their doughnuts before.

They gave us a couple hot ones, right out of the assembly line, while we were waiting. Yummy…

I am not too wild about the assorted kind, but the glazed ones are really good. Overall they are pretty sweet, maybe a little too sweet.
