automated testing ftw

12:59 Wednesday 20 January 2016 JST

It's actually not automated testing FTW yet; it's my choice to carefully go through all the tests even though I am anxious to get the changes to live server before I go on vacation FTW.

I have a list of tests that I was performing manually, and am now in the process of performing them all manually just a couple more times as I teach Ghost Inspector how to do them for me. While teaching Mr Ghost how to do a test, the server didn't pass the test! I was like, "awww crap! Oh wait! Wooo to the Hooo!!!!" because I hadn't moved broken code online.

bank loan for house is approved

Ma!

We found a nice house in 新百合ケ丘 which is close enough to Tokyo
to work, and safe from tsunamis next time they come.

The house is near the bottom of a hill, but it's still high enough
to be safe hahaha.  It has a cute sunroom for Mama and double
windows for insulation everywhere else!

Super excited!

brute forcing american tourister lock

Lin got a new suitcase!

I rotated one number on the lock while pressing the combination reset, and now I cannot unlock the lock. Fuck fuck fuck. Lin just bought this suitcase today and asked if I can set the combination to something other than 000.

Done.

01:24

I have rolled through all the combinations with 2 zeroes, and I've gone through the first 110 or so consecutive combinations.

I have tried making a key for the lock by cutting up a credit card sized card. Not successful so far.

Is it better to take the bag to an authorized place and pay 5000 yen(?) to have them unlock it or keep going through combinations?

02:16

Got it. I went through every integer combination (to no avail) but then tried 0½0 and got it. Now it seems to be reset to 000.

Receipt for the lock is here https://goo.gl/HIhwMv or here
