    Default Does anyone like slaving over text files for hours at a time?

    I have finished what should be our final major internal release, but there are a couple nasty CTD bugs that need finding. It seems our QA guys are all inactive at the moment, so I could use someone who really wants to spend some time messing with text files.

    The quicker we find the nasty bugs, the quicker we'll ask for everyone, not just a few, to look at EB.

    Oh, don't reply by email, it will go to my spam account and I'll never see it. Also, my PM box is almost full, so here is best.

    I could help with text files...but, as RandyKapp asked, it would be nice to know what needs to be done.

    Are you asking for anyone or just current EB members? If your asking for anyone than I would gladly volunteer to mess with text files.

    I assume he's looking for anyone, hence the public post.

    That's what I thought, but I wanted to make sure.

    If he were only asking for EB members, he would make yet another thread on the internal board begging for help. Like this one or this one.

    Well, if our QA guys answer my pleas for help and start giving some input, I won't need the help of others.

    I figured as much, but I was not entirely certain. Because I was not entirely certain, I asked.

    Don't knwo much about the files but I do have a basic understanding of a few of them. If nobody seems able to help you I'll see if I can be of any use.
    But you'll have to wait a week (exams).

    Of course I like slaving over text files for hours at a time. It's my favorite activity in the whole world! Unfortunately for EB, I'm a masochist, so I won't.

    I'm off for the rest of the year (and my job requires plowing through text like a hot knife thru butter), so EM or PM if you need help.

    Whichever is most useful. Should I wait for the beta and just plow through them or is there a cache of files available someplace else?

    If you still have access to the restricted forums you can find plenty of descriptions.

    He doesn't. He needs to go here, put in a join request, and wait for khelvan or Aymar to approve him.
