Well, today's plan has played out in my mind somewhat in the last 2 days - tomorrow I need to see if my planned solution works on a customer's site.
I guess I'm a bit weary because I don't have a definitive testing environment right now to ensure it works exactly like it should. It's tomorrow and it's with a French company via teleconference and screen sharing. I kinda think the French are a bit funny when it comes to business - very proper, so I'd like to impress without spinning out of control....
Today us basically going to be spent constructing the closest testing environment to the customer's estate so that I can be relatively sure I get what I'm expecting - and if so, I can give them the solution right there and then, without the need to go back and 'analyse' what I've seen - in order to come up with a solution - I *think* I have a good idea what the issue is without seeing it.
but in other news - watched Alice In Wonderland last night, which I thought was pretty good, even though the people I've talked to about it weren't that impressed - it amazes me how I can't trust people's opinions until I get to experience my own - its not like a mistrust everyone, I don't, but when it comes to entertainment - I like to be one making my opinions.
That said, I spent a good afternoon planning an idea I have - lots of pen and papering. I enjoyed it - it's almost like trying to solve a puzzle - will this plan work? Will it work in most scenarios? where is it weak?...that sort of thing. I think planning an idea a week is a good exercise in creativity and problem solving.
So, sitting on the train with faces looking down at me and the lady on the microphone seeming pretty agitated. Should be an OK kind of day - I've prepared my Solution already I just need to see if it works. Pretty thirdty I've just figured out and if last week is anything to go by, it's going to be a scorcher - need to hydrate when i get out of this sardine tin...
Let's see how it turns out :-)
