Well, one third of the semester has gone and the pressure is mounting! I feel that the time is going even quicker this semester then it did in the first one.
We had a client meeting last Tuesday and it was interesting! He was pleased with how the project is progressing and we were pleased that he was fairly flexible with some of the requirements.
The funniest part was when I showed his advanced search page. I actually sent him a link earlier so he had time to look over it. He was pleased how it worked and looked but then he asked if we could get rid of the search box!!???!!! What the.....? I looked at him completely confused and he goes, he wants the user to click on the advanced search and then select category and sub-category and then everything from that category displays!!!??? I go, well that's all fine, but we cannot call that advanced search when you're not searching for anything??? Other guys were shocked as well and I was pretty pissed off cuz I spent good few weeks writing and testing the code just to find out that it was all pointless???
We managed to reason him and come to agreement that the search box stays (duu'h!) but the user will have an option to leave it blank in which case it will display all items from selected category. Uh....he must be the most complicated person to work for/with...
There are few documents due next week (week 6) and hopefully, Paul and Craig will be able to finish them in time. I said that I don't care about anything and that I wanted them handed in on time, so we'll see....
This week I've got two assignments due so I've been pretty busy with those and haven't done much work on the project itself...Jon is away for 2 weeks but hopefully we'll have most of the things sorted out before he comes back. Oh yeah, another thing - we managed to convince him that the 'What's New' page should have only list of things that are added to the website over the period of time. Steve was very happy that he doesn't have to use triggers and other complicated code....
OK, that it folks! C ya/ read ya next week ;)
