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...

So, I finally got over a hump in the application today with some help from a friend. I was going nuts because I'm used to many projects under one application easily communicating within and without with a few references and that's it. Well this app has a few projects and two separate web sites. I wasn...

So, I am still running with my little bug/dev items list. Learning about the application. Basically it takes a dataset with paths to different images and puts them on a PDF by coordinates and a program called SwiftView. The SwiftView program then takes the files and converts them into .pcl files to be...

So, I have hit the point of real frustration with this project. I always say that “life isn’t about how you act when times are good, it’s about what you accomplish when times are bad.” Does the same apply to programming? Ok, so this isn’t the worst application ever. It CAN...
