It is thinly overcast, just the moon an a few stars piercing the clouds, but thickly enough to have kept the temperature up at 8C. during the morning the clouds thickens and at around ten it starts to rain until ....
Well, at 19h00 there was a short dry spell.

I almost finished the project and consulting program. It would have been finished if I had read the full specifications first. I started with building a window with the information needed by the first part of the specs. Later I checked the second part and there was a pointer to an existing window. Typical for instructions, first a good description of what the program must do and how it must do things and then, at the very end a reference to how it should look. That is like taking a user, step by step trough the FDISK program and, on the last page, recommend to make a backup before you start.
Anyway, the screen is ready and the program only needs an update routine and some description retreiving module calls. After that I add it to the system and test it.

And I am taking a look at TeleSales. The main shortcoming at the moment is that Ronny knows everything about the project. Apart from his brain there is no technical documentation. If he has an accident we are stranded. I had made a start at documentation while we were making the credit card extension but only the AS/400 part of that is actually done with some screen prints of TeleSales thrown in.
We had a discussion about how the 'copy from history' handles some header fields. I profited from the occasion to start documentation on that. I plan to do that from now on for all the changes and decisions that are implemented.

If things work out as expected I should be picking up some TeleSales problems next week. To be done in Progress.

At home I am working my way trough a stack of magazines. I lost some documents that I am now searching and in stead of picking up things and putting them down somewhere else I am actually throwing stuff away (not into my paper bin because that, having a rather level top, has a printer on top of it).


Adios
