4.15 special

i thought i'd have time to blog and do other stuff, but after getting the first fix done i read an email from the boss i'd received earlier, informing me that functionality which i'd told him was possible but would need to be designed had already been promised to a client, along with a link.

that's vaporware.

fortunately i was able to jimmy it in (for this single, special case), but it's crufty and dirty and demonstrates that we have not steered this vehicle off its ill-fated trajectory. i just sent him an email with the link above and a dressing-down that concluded with a reference to the tortoise and the hare.

as the french say: "vendre la peau de l'ours avant de l'avoir tué" :S

or in english: "my organization is run by morons"
