Sid is moving along again, now that the interface to Conversant's labels feature is finished. You can now select a label for your post from the popup. Labels are cached and saved, so you only have to reload them if you know they've changed.

A week ago, after months of working on smoke-and-mirrors demos of our current project, we were allowed to actually go to work on a functional spike of the process - an end-to-end prototype. Yesterday we got it running. Browser to web app server to application to back-end, encompassing two different operating systems and at least four tiers.

Sigh. Sid was just getting exciting... I had the linking code working the way I wanted it to, I had done some minor re-architecting which had made adding functionality easier, and things were going swimmingly.

The best thing about this article is this page. <g>

So two weeks ago we're told - "move this java-based project to Visual Basic and COM". Aaagh. Then today I hear someone say "so, we bring up bugzilla and CVS on that linux box over there and everyone uses that". My head is spinning.
