I have never seen so much javascript. the real fun started when they wrote it all for IE and then some of the forces said they would be running on firefox.
I just ended up leaving after 6 months. It never worked unsurprisingly.

All day long people have been walking in and out of the office I share drinking Sekt and beer and eating snacks, making a noise and sitting either on my desk or in my chair when I go to the bog. Did I get any work done, did I get offered any booze? Like buggery

One of the low-life plebs of one of the client co's has been on the dog complaining that he can't find things he want's.
Pleb: "Have you heard of something called Bloomberg?"
HAB: "Aye."
Pleb: "Why can't you make it look and work just like Bloomberg?"
HAB: "For a start I don't want to be sued for copyright. That interface is legacy. I'm not really doing the same thing."
Pleb: "But I know how to get what I want there"
HAB: "What do you want to do?"
Pleb: "I want ......"
HAB: "To do what?
Pleb: "To produce ...."
HAB: "You mean, just like <facility>?"
Pleb: "Hang on. Oh yeah. Oh that's good. I see. I can......"
I might be crap at doing all this really fancy UI stuff, but there is no way am I going back to a MS/DOS or VDU screen system.Tags: None
