Its been a hard week….I’ve finally gotten a release out (its still got a few hoops to go through before it hits the live service, maybe more later if I’m still feeling excited enough about it by the time it hits the air), with a rejection on the final stage of testing because the test house don’t yet have the device its targetting. So much for pushing it through for sales start. Ho hum.
As ever, its something of an anticlimax. I’m feeling like there should be something new, fresh, exciting that I should be moving on to. Really its just more of the same. More raising defects to be ignored until someone else spots them. More wrestling with the project manager to describe the plan to him (I can’t help feeling this should be the other way around). More getting people who have no idea how to describe release contents to describe them.
And I keep looking and looking and looking (nice idea, shame their database is powered by hamsters). And I can’t help feeling I’m stuck in a 1.0 world where “We are going to target bloggers, because they are early adopters” is no longer an adequate answer.
I need to get out, play, do something useful (well, not really useful, but its a window onto what is possible without any knowlege of either perl or sql).
Meanwhile, it looks like there might be some changes afoot regarding my flat…my landlord is probably going to sell the place, which means I’m going to have to make a decision about what to do next. Theres a few conversations I need to have before I can figure out the answer to that.
