Lots to post
Well, at least Client Five’s Happy. I’ve now seen what they have to work with and they seem quite happy about the new look. However, they want me to make some small changes over the general look, so guess who’s in over the weekend. Things with Client Six are hectic. I was desperately trying to run the test scripts and overwrote someone else’s new work. (oops!).
Thankfully, I always backup before I modify things, so one quick restore later and we had a developer saying no harm done. (Whew!)
I’m now at work installing the client Five site over in America, unfortunately this means me sat in the office, remote connecting to the states and not going out there to visit. Shame really. I’m going stir Crazy. Still got Client One to reinitialise before I go home, but that shouldn’t present a problem.
There also seemed to be a lot of tension in our office. One of the developers has his overtime refused. They seem to change the criteria for overtime every few days and boy he was angry. I’m betting he’s putting his CV together and will be looking from next week. Don’t blame him, if it weren’t for the fact I’ve got no travel costs, then I’d be looking. It can be an incredible pressure cooker, and a lot of people are feeling it at the moment.
LSW and I have been looking at ways to do up the kitchen, New Work surfaces, New Cooker, new Tiles and new skirting board. We’re looking at £1300 for the whole lot. Hopefully that will leave another £700 to do the nursery with but I’m getting scared at the prices of baby things.
Submitted the fifth chapter of my Star Wars story, last night. I think the organiser of the site is loosing their enthusiasm for their project. There hasn’t been an update since the 20th. Think I’ll send them a tenner to help with the admin costs, it must be quite a site to run.
Have also spent a little time redesigning the map for the computer game. Think it looks a lot better and I’ve decided to rework the way the graphics are displayed, but there’s more of that on the project K blog.
