jay returns.
To my great relief, Jay arrived today. The senior to my junior, he started off by solving a problem which I'd had considerable trouble nailing down. (Specifically: drag two objects into a table. Save the object containing that table; the second one will vanish.) Jay figured out what was going on (the ultimate bug wasn't ours), and wrote up a bug report to send to the database people. I, for my part, did a great deal of testing, and wrote up a batch of bug reports. It's not coding, but it saved Jay time he'd have been using on QA, and so I'm pleased with myself.

Steve's kid, coincidentally also named Steve, stopped by around lunchtime. He's a computer science freshman at the same university I went to. I showed him what I was working on, but he seemed more interested in gedit's syntax highlighting, and the array of panel applets my desktop has running on it, than he was in the object-orientation techniques in the framework.

I came back very tired, and more than a bit cranky, in the evening. I didn't think I passed out on the couch, but Carin says she heard me snoring. Time to work on that review-of-literature paper, in any case--finals are drawing to a close soon.
