This week has just been a flurry of surprises. Tons of coding to do and now I've also got to learn ASP Server Protocol or whatever it is so I can hook up this psuedo CMS thing. I'm pretty nervous and I also feel like I'm not able to efficiently spread the world load out since I'm the only one who knows how to code at the level that is required at this point.
Kristoffer was really helpful in working with me on a way that I could have Barbara contribute to making my coding go faster. The Word document that Barbara created for me has been really helpful.
Unfortunately, the photos didn't go over quite as well as we liked. Now we need to revisit four... I am so sick of this photo stuff!!! It seems like all of a sudden at the project the client has become a total photo critic. I think it's because we've let them loose on it without clearly articulating our reasoning behind each photo. I knew it was a better idea to include a full copy-supported .pdf! Oh well, live and learn.
Code Code Code. That's the only mode. Yeah... I've got to manage client expectations, orchestrate group involvement, and craft a client manual. Yeah, that too...
I can do it.

Week_013
Pictures Pictures Pictures. They are taking way more time and effort than I thought. Fortunately Barbara and Amy will be on should get some stuff done.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to get much work on coding done this week with my Human Factors final coming up. I have a lot to do on that and with just one class left it is my priority now.
Our meeting with HACER went well this week. We got some good feedback on pictures for which Ivona made a nice print-out for us all to talk about. I'm a little frustrated that Barbara still hasn't come up with clear copy for the home page as I have asked, but whatever... At this point I just want to be done. It's another website and there's a lot of coding to be done. I wish I could sit down for 4 days straight and just do it.
We took some time and got the client manual organized in our heads as a group. These group meetings where we talk through everything together seems to be a powerful tool for everyone getting things done. I'll have to work on doing this more often.
