Frustrations

The one part of my job which can drive me nuts is when you can't seem to get ahead because of all the changes that the users keep pushing. I know it's part of reality that there will be changes and as a developer we have to remain flexible. Sometimes, it seems that no matter what, the project keeps going around and around in circles. We are going to have to review the InfoPath forms again, and it sounds like that all the fields that were removed over the last few months are going to be put back in.

I want to provide an application that meets the needs of the users. So I will make any changes that are needed from my end. However, this is not without a cost. I am going to have to push the complete data out. How far, I will have to wait to see what the changes are. I am just afraid that there is going to be some unhappy people with the new date. In the past the end user wants changes and does not understand (or care) what is involved. I am sure there is going to be complaints about how long the development is taking. I sure hope that we can finally freeze the changes so that the application can get completed.

On a happier note, I got the PDA updated with the new OS/ROM. The update went smooth and everything reinstalled with few problems. I sure hope the case I ordered gets here soon. It was shipped on the 21st and I am hoping that it gets here this week.

I have been studying for the first assessment as I mentioned in a previous post. I was going to take it tonight but the browser kept locking up. I will try and make some time tomorrow to take it once I get some more InfoPath forms finished.
