Wouldn't one buy/modify the software to bend to the way the user conducts business, and NOT make the user bend to software's fucked up idea of how other people do business?
Hmm. yeah, NSM in my experience. PeopleSoft! OMG, I haven't thought about that program for years. A nightmare, though, a useless nightmare. This is why we design very ugly, but useable databases and scripts from scratch in FileMaker for all our events. It ain't pretty, but it works, and we can fix it when it breaks.
SAP's big at the uni, but for different purposes.
I can't remember what the big db they use at my U., but I've never been so glad as when I learned, after the migrated all the fundraising info onto it from Raiser's Edge, that I no longer had access to it, due to being a student -- no more data entry, no more reports to run!
Naturally, I read this about ten seconds after watching Doctor Who.
Mmmm. The 9th doctor can treat me any time.
OK, have you people (with cable) watched this "Can't Get A Date" show on VH-1? I don't know if they're always this awesome, but this might be my new favorite show. It's all about the voiceover guy, who turns out to be actually talking to the people.
I am refusing to think about what it says about me that I'm watching this show at midnight on Friday night.
Why do I read the Salon letters pages?
WHY?
Hi there! This is Fay's cat, Daniel. I think that Fay had intended to post something witty and relevant, but after she visited the cute kitten/monkey pics the cuteness overwhelmed her, and she's now slumped face down on the table. I believe the term is 'Ded of teh cute.'
...so which of you guys is coming over to Egypt to feed me?
looks expectant. rubs head against side of computer screen encouragingly.
Ah wee Daniel. He's got mad typing skillz.
Also? I've got kibble.
Urgh. I've got to take Chumley to the vet for a shots & checkup visit in less than an hour. Why, exactly, did I think this was a good time to make an appointment for, weeks ago?
Crazy weather last night - I hope our Tennesseans and Georgians are all safe and secure.
Fhlrump.
That's all I got.
I apparently am back under the insomnia bug, 'cause last night the SO had a great concert, I enjoyed it muchly, we came back to the house and chatted post-party, and everyone else went to sleep. The roommate just left for work, but I have not yet been unconscious.
I was just all alert and ready for the day. Except for the part where I didn't get any sleep! So Fhlrump.
