The Goldfish Chronicles

This is a habit of mine recently that I like:

When working on an issue, I attach any code I was working on to the issue (usually a unit test, I do avoid attaching the Poo.java test files that splatter my harddrive). This has the useful value of being available to anyone else working on the issue - and as they so often say - that someone else is usually yourself.

It also proves useful when your hard drive dies and you haven’t backed up for a month.

Incidentally - cool feature for a piece of backup software would be a bold piece of text on the display showing the number of days since the last backup. That way it is always in my face and I’ll think ‘ACK - backupbackupbackup’.
