Well a 2:00am finish and didn't appear to have been in bed 5 minutes when the alarm goes off at 5:30am.. funny though, even I had so little sleep I woke up 5 minutes before the alarm was to go off. Amazing thing the brain... I forget how many hundreds of times this has happened to me... but it always staggers me that we can do this...
Well I'm logged in... Ian my colleague has been up since 4am working on the Deliver Net problem... we think that we have found a possible solution but we won't know until he has run the job again which takes about 1.5 hours... so it will be 8:45am or so... he sounds like he's been up all night... wonder if I sound the same! Customer of course knows nothing about the levels of support we deliver... ignorance is bliss..
I'm still battling with the email problem and a couple of carefully adjusted parameters in our email program should enable me to remove 99% of these... talking with my email technician he checks what I should adjust and I will make the necessary changes later on today.
Am feeling a bit tired, but my main task today is to get the WorkWay UK website content written. I check the website that they are having put together to make sure that I understand exactly where the stuff I'm writing for them is going to be located. Once I have this then I can make sure that I get it right for them...
My main technical guy Ian calls me just fter lunch, he thinks he has now cracked the problem we were having with the long aged debt report... The fact that we were not flushing the buffer as the program ran, appeared to then cause HTTP to restart the program.... anyway but by outputting the lines as we process through the client accounts it seems to behave itself... ok... good work around... so we deploy and test... that's at least a difficult problem out of the way. Well done Ian!! although this sounds like an operating system bug or an Internet Information Server v6.0 issue.
Some Great conversations with you know who today... you don't know?... oh well all will be revealed very soon...
A couple of conversations with Deliver Net today about response times and special reports that we need to write for them for one or two of their customers. My appointment for tomorrow at Park Royal has been postponed due to illness there and some feedback from Workway UK on my initial thoughts for the home page have gone down quite well.
No Table Tennis tonight... a chance to pick up with some great online conversations... the skype log of these is becoming quite large already... just 11 days with my new contact / business partner and things are moving at quite a pace, watch out for the book on how this took place... but must stay focused on current projects for the minute... there we go again, creative stars... haven't done he profiling but I bet that's what I'd be!!
Pop into Asda's pick up a few bits and pieces for breakfast and cleaning... (must outsource that) which I;m on top of at the moment!
Into bed at circa 12:30am... Emails seem to have got more under control... just got to now disable one alias that is being used indiscriminantly on the web by some spoofers and then I think I'll have it cracked. Early start again tomorrow... 6:00am ish... lots to do!
