Winding Down

Now that it's been decided that we are not going to put any more major enhancements into the application, the project has been sitting pretty much dead for more than a week. Getting any information about what's going on has been pretty impossible to get. One person had told us to complete the two enhancements we had pretty much completed (reports and some application functionality), then nobody could decide if or when they should be moved into the test or production application. After some fun back and forth emails and phone calls it's finally been decided to go ahead and move the changes. This will be the last change to the application.

Everyone is naturally wondering what is going to happen to them personally. Nobody has been able or willing to come out and say what the plan is, but I am actively looking for another assignment. I have a very good possibility that I think I mentioned before; hope that works out.

I have been using this down time to try some new things in .NET. I installed and started working with Atlas which is the .NET framework "plug-in" for quickly adding AJAX code to a .NET web page. So far it has been very easy to use. I have added some of the functionality to my personal development site. In addition, I have a number of video/media projects that I have been working on for various folks.
