Day One
11.18.09
Ok, no active projects at this time.
Today I’m living in support hell. I have to support an application that was written by developers before I started with this company. Normally this is not a big deal, but it has a high level of support calls on it. I was told when I started that this was due to it being a high use application, but as I examined the code I found that this was not the true reason. We get a high number of support calls because it was designed and coded by people who had no idea of what they are doing.
Luckily I have been able to incorporate some changes (such as exception logging - DUH!), and address some of these support calls to the business who can directly handle the data integrity issues that are all to common in this application.
There may be a project starting in the next week or two where I can start giving examples of just how poorly this thing is done, and how I plan on updating it in a real world scenario.
Also, if I get any Contract work (I love Rent-A-Coder), I’ll be posting about it here as well.
If I get really ambitious, maybe I’ll be able to start some personal projects that have been in the back of my mind for a while.
