So, I'm stuck. Usually I try for two posts a week, but I can't accomplish anything tonight. I can't write, and I can't get any work done. I'm sure this has happened to you. What do you do? I'm going to walk away from my machine and watch some James Bond (best movie I could find onDemand). I would love...

So, the official final deal is that the project is still in the works, and in the meantime I will be working on some other projects likely for the company I am with. I know it sounds cryptic but that's the story and I'm sticking to it. I'm not going to lie, the whole thing really took a toll on me with...

So, here is my fogbugz list of tickets. EDIT: How about ACTUALLY posting the list? As an aside, I'm considering switching to Base Camp just for the price. Base Camp is $49, where FogBugz, due to the number of users, is $125. This is annoying though since FogBugz has my data. Curses!!! Has anyone used...

Five weeks left. Flipping? Who's flipping? Kidding, I mean I'm as calm as one can be in this situation. Anyone would be stressed with this much time left in their first big project. Controls are being completed, pages are coming together, consultants are doing their thing. Am I concerned about everything...

Soooo, the communication with the payment gateway is complete, which is awesome. That's great, right now I'm mapping imports. Going to be pulling a nightly import from a Apple program from "FileMaker Pro" it's a bit tedious to work with because the imports/exports are not easy to work with...

Hey guys, I could use your help. One of the things I'm doing before departing Project Awesome is transferring it to the .NET 2.0 post SP1 compilation model. I have been sucessful thus far moving the projects over to the new solution. I, however, am having trouble with the webservices. Now, the origional...

Well, I am moving off of Project Awesome onto another project, we are going to call it Project 007 Top Secret. I'm really excited about this and NERVOUS. The thing I love about this is that it's going to be homeade, by Sara, from scratch. There is a LOT that needs to be done, but when it is finished...

So, we are getting another developer on the project. Today at lunch we discussed how I feel there are things that really need to be done to the application that will make it easier to make improvements and add new features and support in the future. Here is my list: 1. Update the compilation model to...

So, it's Saturday night and it's a weekend and I'm home. I was going to go out tonight but my best friend was hung over so we are going out tomorrow. So, for fun I am dealing with "External Component has thrown an Exception" (While watching Black Snake Moan) So there are these user controls...
