The client is here...

Finally! We have received the details about our client! This means that the fun is over (not that we had that much of it anyway;)) and we have to start with our project.

Firstly, I'll reflect on the previous week and what has been happening.

I was pretty busy las week with all the little things that we need to do! Quite honestly, I hate this part of the project! All these formalities drive me crazy! Standards and Governance report is due this week and I ve been working on the finalisation of the document in this week...there is just too many things to include in this report! I just hope that what we've done is enough for now...we ll have to update it anyway in the second semester.

Now a word or two on out client...its called HP Computer Museum and they need the upgrade of their database and adding some functionality to their website. Not too happy about the project quite frankly....we said we wanted something more "network or hardware" related or some joomla website but we got this! They (managers) say that this is the most technical one they have...hm...interesting. Just keeps me wondering why am I doing the Net Centric major...

Anyways, the scary thing about the client (like we needed any more scares) is that they tried to get their problems solved last year but the group that was doing it failed! Well, they didn't fail the subject, but they did fail the project and honestly - I don't see the difference! This outs even more pressure on us...

Then we went on the clients website and it really did look like a real mess! I mean, really...there is probably 234 456 links on the website and it looks like it was designed back in 90s...it looks like it would be the best idea to completely redisgn the website - hopefully the database will be a bit better...

We also set up a first meeting with the client - Friday the 13th! Buhahahaha...oh wait, thats Friday the 14th...ah, doesn't matter, we're scared anyways!

for the end, one photo from our clients website - this is the main warehouse!
