This is a test of the emergency patch documenting system. Had this been a real emergency, the patch you just viewed would have been actually tested, and accompanied by an mp3 sample. So, after all this talk of patches I got to thinking about a better way to document them. I work on a mac (for some strange reason) and there is this nifty little program called OmniGraffle which I use for work. It's like visio for ya win32 people. I decided to make a template set for the MOTM modules (others to follow!) for documenting patches. It's not as quick as my usual method (camera snapshot) but it is pleasing-on-the-eye, and a lot easier to read. The template set currently looks like this: (took 3 minutes to assemble, fyi) http://orbelisk.com/clickless.pdf What do you folks think of this style? Yeah, I know it lacks labels but I think it's a little less cluttered this way, only showing that which makes the patch run. Comments? Thoughts? Any guesses why this is called "clickless"? ;) ps: i'll post the template file after a little peer review. --mikes
