A long day long needed
Today we upgraded our company's account management application. I have been developing this for about the last nine months or so, and it keeps growing.
With that comes new and exciting challenges as a developer. Like this one... I need to be able to switch the application into maintenance mode at the drop of a hat. I built that. But at the same time, I need to be able to keep users out and allow myself in for testing. I have not figured that one out yet. There are still several features of the application that need to be fleshed out at the moment, but all in all I am happy with what it does at this point.
I do need to do a heap of refactoring and recoding. The app has just gotten fat and it needs to go on a diet. I also need to be able to make the needed admin tools to allow me to do things that I cannot do at this point, like become a user to see exactly what the user sees. But those are things to get to work on in a bit. Right now, I get to spend time working on our framework and interface to our new WWW site.
I can't wait. But I can rest, because I was at work almost 12 hours today, and I need to take my mind off of code for a bit.
