1. Work/Programming Productive week (even though I was sick@home Wednesday). I finished my design document and got it all set for signoff from the stakeholders. I was supposed to start work on it this week but instead I had to circle back to the project from last week. That project was done.. but a few things came up in the…

Friday Five
1. Work/Programming My last project is “done” .. but small things have been popping up on it all week. As of right now I -think- it’s DONE done.. but we’ll see. Regardless, I’ve made good progress on this week’s ACTUAL project and I’d say I’m 85% done with the current design document. It turns out that my next project is…

1. Work/Programming I finally finished off my project and will be doing a demo of it today (wheeee). My next project is a design document and that’s clipping along well. I think the biggest stumbling block on this document is nailing the stakeholders down and getting them to sign off and agree that what I put in the document is…

1. Work/Programming My current project is winding down. I’m not 100% done.. but I hope to be by EOD today or Mon/Tue. I’m already assigned to my next project but I think I need to wait on a pre-planning meeting before I can dive into it. I’ll have to follow up on that. I haven’t mentioned it in a while..…
Friday Five
1. Work/Programming I think in future I’ll be more resistant to having a design dropped on me where they expect me to make the product described in the design. I’m coming down to the wire on my current project and tying up the loose ends.. and it turns out that what they wrote and how I read it are two…

1. Work/Programming Current project is being a bugger. I’m hammering it out.. but every solution leads to two more problems.. ADD TO THAT a DB field that I thought was going to be a String ended up being a Double. PITA to fix that. I may end up logging in on Sunday to put some time into the project. March…
(belated) Friday Five
1. Work/Programming I missed my final milestone for this project and asked for an extension into this week. I -could- have hit the milestone on Friday but I don’t think the code would have been as well tested as I want it to be. That said.. this week is March Madness.. and the Madness is running high this this year.…
Friday Five
1. Work/Programming I’m almost caught up on my milestones for this project. If I can get DataBase connectivity into the project by EOD then I’ll be golden. Next Friday is the deadline. Cross your fingers for me. That said, I am a little bit behind on my test cases for the last two functions. I think I’ll make those a…
(Belated) Friday Five
1. Work/Programming I’m banging out the milestones on my new project. Actually because of last week being short and my co-working being out with the plague I’m a few days behind schedule but I think I’ll get caught up pretty easily. It’s been a while since I’ve done Java programming.. and I’m finding it very Zen. I spend a day…
Friday Five
1. Work/Programming A chat with my boss lead to the conclusion that I was “doing it all wrong” wrt the new project. When he asked “are you ready to run with it?” about the project I thought he meant one thing.. and it turns out he meant another. It wasn’t until late last Friday, when we had a group meeting…
