It's been a week of my new job in the Wireless and Location group at Sensis. The first week is usually a bit slow and painful as you try and get your head around a new set of tools and code. So far, it has been pretty good, and I've gotten up to speed quickly. The less brain strain in the first week the better.

On my first day I found a new tool to add to my collection of favourites. Emma is a coverage tool which tells you what percentage of your code has been utilized during tests. It's a great way to ensure that you've debugged enough of your application, or written enough unit tests. In other jobs I've used commercial versions of this type of tool, however, Emma is the first one that I've found that is completely free.

The other thing I need to get used to, is not having much time to work on my projects. Thankfully Argot and Colony are nearly at a stage I'm happy with. The biggest task left is to prepare Colony to be put on the public Subversion with the same license as Argot. After that I can move on to projects that use Argot and Colony, rather than continue developing it.

Speaking of other projects, after three months of hitting my head against a wall, I was able to add loadable modules to LuaPlayer. One of the smaller projects will be to add Argot and/or Colony client to LuaPlayer as a loadable module.
