Its crunch time - week 11

Its there - we've uploaded the website and put it online last Wednesday! There were few hiccups and ups and downs but in the end it all worked fine. As I mentioned earlier, there are still some things that we need to finish, but the core of the website is online and functional. Jon was happy as well, although he found few errors when he tried to use the website but we managed to correct them very quickly.

When we started with uploads and downloads two weeks ago I was constantly insisting to have multiple backups on various locations. God was I right....during the main upload on last Tuesday, we encountered few problems. Because Steve did some of the work directly online without having a copy of it on his offline server, we accidentally overwrote some of the stuff he created!! Luckily, I made one final backup of the server the night before and we were able to recover.

I'm still a bit annoyed with Craig and Paul - I got to uni last Tuesday at 10.30am and left at around 5.30pm. Both of them came at around 3 pm and left around 4.30pm!!!! Dave I'm serious, if they get the same mark as three of us, I'll be pissed off!!!

This week we have a meeting with Jon, just to go over few things. We also have to test the final pieces of the website before we put them online - user forum and advanced search function...lots of things to do, so little time
