You never know how a project is going to end - sometimes there's a mad rush, other times the team members go their separate ways and finish remotely, and sometimes you get a text message at 6:48 AM that says:
The rabbit is down the hatch. Abort the rendezvous. REPEAT: The rabbit is down the hatch. Abort the rendezvous. I'm picking it up at noon.
And that was MAP.
Yesterday was free scoop day at Ben & Jerry's. I had to go downtown anyway to pick up a couple of gifts for our sponsors and so I was really looking forward to a gratis scoop of cherry garcia. Instead there was a line down the sidewalk for half a block that was barely moving. No free ice cream for me.
Today is, I would say, the climax of the Art on View website project that has been on the burner for some five months. I'm actually up in the development offices, on a workstation, mining the database of the school's art. At this moment I'm roughly halfway done with the digitizing, after which it is just a formality to have it ready. A monkey with average motor skills could do this part of the job, but it is gratifying to see it all filled in and completed.
