First Week Back
January 08, 2004
First week back for most people, except a few lucky ones who are in warmer climes. I have decided to take next January off, so note that in your diairies as I won't be available!
Because Iwas sick all over the Christmas/New Year period, I was rather glad to be back on Monday and have lots of contact with people. Chirpy? Yes, nauseatingly so, for anyone who was nursing the effects of too much grog and grub over the last few weeks.
Spent yesterday in a client's office working on the content of their intranet site. It's very satisfying to see the transformation in an intranet site like that at the end of the day on a job like that. Large tracts of information that is difficult to take in becomes bite-sized and scannable; out of date material and waffle gets removed, so the remainder is lean and mean and gets to the point.
The only problem was the content management system which let me down as today the client called to say sections are not showing. I have to go in and fix it tomorrow. I know I make my living from technology but sometimes I wish life wasn't so dependent on it.
