Today is a beautiful day; the sun is shining and it well in the 80's. I'm working, but I'm doing something I really enjoy: small bug fixes.

I don't have much time during the week for coding and my job doesn't really require any coding. But, I enjoy it and where possible I'll sneak in some small fixes or tiny features. I've learned over the years to only take on non-critical features and bugs since I can't commit much of my time. I find that doing some coding every now and then makes me a better engineering manager and it keeps me rooted in software development.

So today I'm doing small stuff: input validation, improving our 'diagnostics' page, updating the on-line help etc. I'll wrap up in an hour or so and when it is a little bit cooler I'll go for a run.
