gnireenignE esreveR

Uff, I've just have been relived from an evil spell. This was not a flow day so far.

There was something wrong with the output of a recording software, which I maintain but not had designed in the first place. I started with the debugging this morning. Eventually, I guessed that the problem does not resid in the recording but in the analysing software. Hence, I started to search in that code as well.

Finally, a half an hour ago, I returned from the loo and said to my colleagues: Today, I did not make 1 mm of progress. Then, I changed a limitation from 16 to 17 and everything worked just fine.

I's just like with abdominal pains. The cause is never where it hurts. Damn, I hate reverse engineering.
