That song by The Thrills that goes DUN DUN DUN DUN
I have no idea what that song is.
Anyway. The subject of last week's Farscape game has been cleared up; Katy was mostly annoyed at Nook, and not at me. This makes me glad. We can point at Nook and laugh, because he does not have a livejournal. Ha ha ha ha ha! Twat.
Controversy over at http://www.pagga.net - somebody said something bad about somebody's game, and rather than respond on the forum, the organisers demanded apologies and removal of inflammatory materials. Current policy appears to be acquiescence to the latter and refusal to the former. Hopefully Ed will be able to get the organiser in question to see that a public statement saying they cannot take criticism will do them even more damage than the original post could ever have done.
Dear sweet Jesus, today has been hectic. Though it has been a sort of compressed hectic. I was very busy at the start of the day, because I was rushing to get things done before the director's demo at 4pm. Then at 3pm he told me that I had to get the whole thing working on a live intarweb site. This is all fine and dandy, except our intarweb sites are very secure and hard to get into. And only one man has the ability to create databases and datasources on our server, and he got distracted by emails. And there were some last minute changes to fix, which then had to be re-uploaded. On top of which I have to correlate with somebody else, because it is a site with two halves (ASP and CFM, don't ask) and they need to talk to one another. So it was hectic again at the end.
The main thing our company suffers from is a lack of communication. 3pm today was the first I had been told that the demo even needed to be on the live server. I had reasoned that it might, since somebody mentioned that the director would be dealing with the client over a conference call. But I did nothing, because I had not been told this for sure and didn't want to act on assumptions. I also wanted to make the point that they should tell people things need to be done more than an hour beforehand. It's not like I hadn't spent an hour yesterday going through the site with the guy talking about what needed to be done before the deadline. Was uploading mentioned? No it was not.
My end is working now, and I'm assuming that when the other guy's end is working they will talk to each other fine, since I've told him where to submit forms to get stuff to my half and he's told me where his half lives so I can link back there. He's still having problems with his end, though, despite being 45 minutes overdue (I can't help him, but our top server guy is). I would like to think this would be a learning experience for our director, but past experience tells me this is unlikely.
