These days, I work on two big categories of things: code, and standards.
On days where I work on code, I spend:
- About 80% of my time staring at vi
- The remainder staring at Outlook
On days where I work on standardizing specifications, I spend:
- About 70% of my time staring at Outlook
- The remainder staring at Word
And you?

I've got three main activities: sitting in meetings, vehicle/dyno testing, writing test reports.
meetings,
- present findings, round table discussion, participation (2%)
-try not to fall asleep, stay busey on the internet (98%)
testing,
-data loging (5-20%)
-down time, garage/dyno cell preparation for the remainder
test reports,
-staring at raw data (50%)
-staring at Word (50%)
I pretty much stare at porn all day long. Actually I'm using OrCAD but I'm thinking about boobs.
Right now, I spend most of my time getting a software component ready for shipping alongside the SDK.
That means:
- 60% staring at Media Center & SDK stuff on my test box
- 20% staring at Visual Studio making code changes
- 10% staring at Outlook watching for BVT failures and team goings-on
- 5% staring at web reports of the current test pass
- 5% scheduling tests/installs from the test case manager
Thankfully very few meetings right now.

Lately... 90% vi, 5% lotus, 5% firefox.
It varies so much its hard to say, but mostly Notes. Otherwise its adobe, excel, and powerpoint. In Indiana I spent a good amount of time in build areas and test cells, but I haven't had to do that in Darlington yet.
