Well, here it is, my first post-iteration reflection. (I definitely rested over the weekend, so that's already taken care of). Looking back I'm generally happy about how things went. I got a lot done, the database is completed, Subversion installed (I want to keep my work as transparent as possible, so even though I'm the only developer I want my boss and people working on the site to have access to my code. Also, I plan on versioning related documents and comps that they are supplying), business base completed, about ¼ of the business objects done, staging server set up, login control completed, login status control created, user security framework done, nHibernate implemented. All in all I'm pleased with my progress and am optimistic about the coming weeks.
Some of the things I can work on are better time estimates. I was done with the task cards for the first two weeks last Monday. I do need to get a better grasp on how long things are going to take me, but I'm sure that will come with time.
I also didn't get together with my boss to show him my deliverables. I plan on doing that in the morning and setting a regular meeting every two weeks.
I had a good weekend, a lot of beach and little league. I'm becoming a big fan of my friend Kellie's step children's teams. Fun to watch.
For the cool kids asking for a blue hair pic here it is in all its glory. It's a blurry iPhone pic but it will do for now. I like the photo album idea, going to implement it soon.
Hope you are having a happy Monday!

I'm having a boring monday. and I will be for 6 weeks as I've got summer holidays now :(
ReplyDeleteStill, it gives me time to finish all my projects, and then some.
I'm still waiting for you to sign in on GTalk.. y'know how boring life is without a girly nerd in it? :) But really I just want to try out GTalk for Blackberry and have nobody to talk to :P
Awesomo, I'm a cool kid, I feel so honored.

Sounds like a lot of dev time last week, which is cool. Just don't get spun around the small stuff, being the only dev and the architect is a precarious position.

Blue tips == Awesome.
(+50 Cool Points (Of a possible 100, which would have been attained with either all blue hair (read JPOP star), or Black/Blue highlights (read + Bonus to Stealth))
My Monday goes as planned; Left house at 4am (check). Minimal traffic while maintaining a cruising speed of 95MPH (check). Awesome parking spot in train station garage minimalizing take off time and maximizing take off speed (check). Arrive on site at 5:30am and order Chai Tea Latte (check). Behold the sunrise from 400ft in the air with noone to bother me (check). Act like I didn't finist my monthly coding project over the weekend (check).
Hope everyone's is as good as mine.
Cheers
To err is human, to forgive, divine.
