So. Busy. Oh. No!

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

It may have been Friday May 11th or the Friday before … I don’t remember. There was a major development effort announced at work and we all mobilized as quickly as we could to try to figure out how to meet the new challenge. So in the past 3 weeks (I think) we have been rewriting a whole section of our software to deal with an API which wasn’t even firm when we entered their beta program. But hopefully things are stabilizing out now and in a few days I’ll be able to blog about it.

In other news, I’ve been trying out this site, I’m In Like With You (IILWY). It’s a dating site which is based off of games you play with other users. It’s pretty fun, although quirky!

Finally, a friend’s wedding is coming up fast! OMG!!! This is going to be great! It all begins on Friday…

OK, I’ve got lots of stuff to do. More later!!!
