I have worn out my I-told-you-so stick. Perhaps I should try one of those Kali sticks instead.

I have an "I told you so stick" (bamboo walking stick) that I take along on walks for when the dogs get aggressive because I am walking by where they live.
It really works.

I had to look up kali sticks. Turns out they grow wild in my back field.
Bamboo that it.

But there will still be too many things to shake them at.

I just got an email request from an internal client to reduce the scope of a project. I feel like a deer in headlights. My world view has been shaken. How can I cope with this traumatic situation?

Make sure the part that is reduced... is not the part that you already finished!
IT'S A TRAP!

You forgot the joke icon, but pretty funny nonetheless!
It's an OO world.

I suppose I'm the only one that read that as "reduce the amount of payment we'll be making"?
|
|
|
|
|
Internal client, so payment isn't involved. I work in an IT Department of a large-ish company, so my paycheck is the same whether any given project takes 6 weeks or 6 months.

There's also the "we're not going to need the part you were going to write, goodbye" scenario.

I was going to post that hours ago, but I waited for you to show up. Thanks, mate.

That's not good.
It could mean that the company is being "streamlined", to make it more attractive to investors.
Make sure your CV is up to date.

Fascinating science: [^], [^].
Black-out. Lights fade in, but the scene is still dark. A man and a woman sit at opposite ends of a dining table, both look grim, and tense. You see neither of them move their lips, or vary their facial expression, but these words are heard:
Man "But, I thought we had everything going for us ..."
Woman "It's hard to explain ..."
Man "Is there ... somebody else ?"
Woman "No, oh no ... it's just that ... well ... your microbiome sucks."
Man "That's really hurtful, you know ... didn't I become a vegan just for you, don't I have spirulina every morning because ... of you ?"
Woman "I wish ... how I wish ... I could put it some other way that would make you feel better about it !"
Fade to black. Fade in of a brilliantly sunlit tropical beach; a man and woman walk hand-in-hand into a calm emerald sea. Sound of waves, occasional sea-bird cries. Voice over by a deep, soothing, male voice:
"It can seem hopeless ... I know ... I've been there ..."
"You try and change and ... it just doesn't work ... and you feel like you've made yourself into somebody you aren't ..."
"The guilt, the anger, the grief ... I've been there."
Fade in background track of inspirational music: man and woman slowly turn and face the camera, their backs to the sea. The male voice shifts into a more powerful, assertively optimistic tone:
"But, now there is hope ! ... there is ... Microptimal !"
"A unique patent-pending process of microbiomial transplant and personality adjustment !"
"You can BE compatible, not just TRY to be compatible !"
The man and the woman lift their hands, and wave, as the camera pans in for a close-up. They kiss.

Stop bugging us with this!

Hi Folks,
I'm about to kick off a very interesting project for the Department of Public Works. It's interesting because I'm doing it pro bono, I've not done ASP.NET before, and I get to architect the thing any way I want, which means small baby steps in my spare time. The benefits will eventually be, besides having ASP.NET experience, putting something together that apparently lots of municipalities could use and the potentially turning "free" into something lucrative. We won't discuss the down sides.
Anyways, there's a lot of tech options out there for ASP.NET / Razor / MVC / Whatever coupled with jWhatever etc, etc. I am though seriously considering using DevExpress web controls, though possibly Telerik's which look pretty darn cool.
While I'm starting with a basic concept -- an admin screen for filling in things like equipment, labor rates, materials and costs, and putting together a form where people can create a project estimate, this will need to eventually include tracking the actual project costs, for large projects splitting them into phases, etc.
So what do you all suggest as the technology stack, staying within the boundaries of .NET and C#, for putting together a snazzy web site with the least effort?
(And no, I do NOT want to do this in Ruby on Rails, I'm feeling quite done with duck-typed languages and crappy 3rd party open source components.)
[edit] BTW, I came across this by subscribing to http://www.codeforamerica.org/[^] and responding to a request somebody made on one of the forums. [/edit]
