Friday Five – Pennsic Test Run
1. Work/Programming I’m humming along on my pet project. I expect I’ll be code complete by the middle of next week and then have formal QA slated for the week after. TPTB say that after this minor release is done they may have me go ahead and work on some of the major features I proposed last week. All good…
Five Things on a Monday: Pennsic is coming, panic now!
1. Work/Programming Last week I presented my feature list for my pet project to “Those who get to decide what features are part of Monica’s pet project”.

Hopefully they’ll agree that they’re good features so I can FINALLY start working on them. Good thing…

It’s very loud.. and the walls are covered with interesting quotes from famous people that start with “I believe…”. Their water glasses are made from recycled wine bottles.. and a…
