Coming up for air
Friday, November 03, 2006If you were wondering where where I was, I have been wrestling with a monster, a real nightmare. Too big to fit completely into 1 brain. Just the static data schema took 3 months to design. On top of that, 2 complicated GUI's (1 static data, 1 transactional), a core processing engine that takes instructions in one end and spits out files, reports and outputs to clients, internal users as well as 5 other systems with both a manual and an automated (Straight Through Processing) workflow in the middle.
Well enough moaning, its feature complete now (released to integration environment tonight, just bugfixing to go ) so I have a bit of headspace for blogging again, I might even have time to read a book :)
I found this article really interesting. Parakey sounds way cool cant wait to see it in action. I am a recent Firefox convert BTW, the Diggnation boys talked me into it.
