Pfhew!
The client's website I've been doing since July went officially online today. It's not really up because the account doesn't gracefully accepts ASP.net 2.0 change from 1.1, so by tomorrow morning it will be up.
I've already gave my bank info for them to pass along the dough so I can start paying bills and quit this host and move it all to the newest host. I'm two months late now...
In other news, my project is halted for a while, I'm feeling in no mood to program outside of work and keep questioning myself internally how well is this going to run. I mean, I don't offer nothing really innovative, new, cheaper, better, faster, is just another one of the same.
And then I see a free ASP.net host provider that has 55.000 accounts and I'm really happy to have only 0,5% of that user base, paying users, on my project debuttal. It would still give me PLENTY of cash to jump-start my life.
Other than that I've worked on my dayjob, go out every night with my girlfriend, some nights I go out with my friends too, sleep, annoy my ex girlfriend and count my cents till my next paycheck. Life is hard, but it's less harder now than a few months ago. Hope it keeps getting better now.
Ciao.

Changes and more changes
Well hello there.
The website I've been doing in the past four months isn't complete. Today another email with more changes. Now the colour they choosed isn't the most likeable they have. They want more yellow.
More yellow it is.
But I want to see some green too.
I've just read their 7 changes, and they're all not that boring. I misread, they want a darker yellow, a darker gray, a zoomed in map, a text change, and the inclusion of a business number. It's something for two hours max.
My project is going fine, have database access for INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE and SELECT, already fills translation codes for multilanguage, automatically translates combobo...er... dropdownlists (ASP.NET lingo) and does some pages contents. I just wish you could see it! But no. Wait till it's ready!
Some more insights into business:
- Pass the ball to others (or cover your ass first)
- Always back what you say
- Deliver complete on time or before that
- Sometimes something wouldn't make sense until you talk to the fabricant
- Telephones serve to solve problems too
- Debug or walk thru something step by step and the solution will reveal itself
- Strong will, determination, self-assurance, conviction
- Everybody lies
- People like certifications and seals of approval and fabricant approvals
It's all for today, let's see it I can do something else in the next posts.
Maybe talk about a theme, a subject or anything like that. Comment!

Projecting
Well hello.
I know I promissed writing everyday but the last few days there were problems with my Internet provider, a long weekend, not much time at the computer, going out with friends and attending music concerts.
Last week and this one are being well worked at the day job so we are doing massive stored procs and really working things up towards first version to be deployed at the client starting next week.
On the night "job", I'm starting today designing the database tables and writing the code for the first general tables (stuff like categories, types, groups, etc). It's taking shape too.
Today is Patch Tuesday so I expect some Microsoft patches coming this evening.
Keep visiting!

October
Hello there.
Im here again. Geez is this joint empty!
Well, what I've been up to? Work is good, im making a mega hiper Stored Procedure which has 2000 lines already and growing. I'm at it for three days now.
The website I was developing... well, I'm still developing it. Client yesterday brought more changes. It never ends does it?
To say that I got a credit card for online shopping, got the domains transfered to new host, that today I won an auction for 1Gb RAM for my PC for half the cost of the normal store price - let's see if I get soap bars on the mail heheh.
My project? Well my project is coming along nicely, I've got an idea for dynamic web forms one day and when arrived home I wrote it down in my black book then been busy for some days, then took it and wrote the engine in 2 hours and it's going great! Really great! Soon news from the project birth.
I've also been helping my girlfriend with her end of college dissertation, mainly Word 2007 fixing tables, setting margins, normalizing font sizes, the usual boyfriend stuff.
I've been thinking in going to a country hut in the New Year's Eve, snow and hot chocolate and all that. And we're making plans to get together, rent a house and live together until March 2008. Let's see what the future brings.
First she must find a job, earn some money, save some more money, and then start looking around for a house... et cetera.
Well it's all for today, tomorrow I'll be here for a new blog post.
