Another week, another bug.

Earlier this week, I was counting up the number of times I was going to be volunteering at Floriade and came up with a bigger number than expected. Eventually I worked out that the problem was that I was double counting events at the beginning and end of the month because they showed up without indicating they were outside the current month.

Here are a couple of screen shots to illustrate what I mean.

Events in September

Events in October

The thumbnails probably make it difficult to begin with, but the obvious count of “Floriade shift” events there is 8, where as there are actually only 6. If the events themselves were dimmed like the day numbers are, I suspect it would be much more intuitive to count the events.

Anyway, it’s not exactly earth shattering, but it did but me, so now I’m bugging Apple. The tracking number is 4260502 for the insiders for whom it’s actually useful.
