and we're off

Just got the email. The PG has been inspected and approved. Hawsome.

next time, it's a grenade

My boss has started giving me cans of soda and warning me that next time it'll be a grenade. I wonder if I should be worried about this.

We've just about finished the arduous PG checklists, but we already know we're taping out with a code bug—one that I introduced. Shit. Fortunately, we have the ability to patch the ROM while the chip is running, so it's not a problem (literally a one-line patch), but how much does it suck to be the source of the first known bug?

This whole leakage cal fiasco really bothers me, but hey, screw it. I mean, yeah, it was my fault and all...

In my defense, what the hell were they thinking having an analog designer write the code?
