Building, Testing, Clients, Rugby World Cup '07 and some stuff in between

Hi all.

Only 6 more weeks of uni left (including mid semester break). So it’s time to get cracking on testing soon, hopefully by the end of this week. But there’s a lot of building yet to be done and we are striving to get that done by the end of the week so we can start testing. Last Tuesday, me and Aaron met up with Bill (our client) and we gave him a copy of the legal documents and also showed him a few prototype interface screenshots of the database. The meeting went well and went for about 20 minutes (Bill was on the phone to someone for 15 minutes, and the rest of the 5 minutes we talked about the database … lol).

But the good thing about Bill is that he’s not as fussy as Andrew…Bill juz looks at our design and goes “ohh yep, yep, I see wat u hav done there…nice nice…ok ok…cool….i like that yes…of course I know where ur coming from…” and so on. But Andrew is a bit of a pain in the wrong place..lol….he would query nearly everything and ask really complex questions like we’re sitting for a bloody exam!!!…lol…damn engineers! Aaron can do a really good impersonation of Bill and how he talks…hilarious!.. :)

Ok, enuff about the clients. Tarindra and Aaron have been working relentlessly on the implementation of the system. Thusiya and Ishara are involved in a bit of designing of the screens and telling Aaron “hmmm good design but this and that shud be added” or “ooooh that looks pretty in pink!”….lol…lmao! I have been slowly updating the documentation as we go along (such as the functional spec and also the detailed design, with the help of Tar and Aaron). We will hand them in by week 10.

At the moment I’m watching the Rugby World Cup (South Africa vs Samoa) and I watched New Zealand vs Italy, and Australia vs Japan yesterday. Great games – Japan and italy got their asses whooped! All Black and wallabie legends! Cant wait for the finals!

So I guess that’s it for now. Cya next time. :)

Chao!
