Music for the trip to Brum today was the 1995 double cd Axis Mutatis by the Shaman, and more specifically the second ambient bonus cd Arbor Bona Arbor Mala (which I think translates as Good Tree Bad Tree). I first heard a thirty second clip of this on a William Latham organic art screen saver eight or nine years ago and it buzzed around in my head for ages until I finally tracked down a special double cassette version of the album. I've converted it to mp3s and now finally have a cd to play in the car which is just about perfect for driving under ominous skies ...
Work was business as usual, except the big boss has got a bee in his bonnet about implementing a browser front end for a time sheet system. Our consultancy division has promised to write something in two weeks which I find difficult to believe. This application is going to be internet facing so it has to sit on the other side of the firewall and syncronise both ways with contract and personnel details, and allow work group based authorization of timesheets. It just isn't going to happen, I know it now - the last time I saw a demo of their system it crashed running off a IIS server on a local pc with one user. How is it going to cope with several hundred people updating their timesheets every week?
