Looks good again

It is tough to maintain a site went you are dependent on cloud services that you have no control over

Which is why we don't Wink our myBB install is local and slightly customized (our medal ribbons, for example).

There's nothing on this site that I can't crack open and hack at if the need arises. Some of it may take me a bit of time to grok, but I keep the platforms as narrow as possible.

What IS tough is users who insist on using all sorts of different browsers and O/S... why can't we all standardize on x86 Win 3.1?!? Tongue

Write code to specs?

I just finished writing an 25,000 lines Oracle package for specs that changed at least a dozen times during development. As I know specs will change again and again, I wrote the damn thing to be configurable with several level of abstractions.

The problem is there are only two people on my team (out of 18) who understands abstractions well enough to maintain the code and settings.

The joys of modern software. But I thought all this new stuff would make it easier, at least that's what the vendor told me... Tongue Wink Dodgy Angel Angry

I used punch cards for my FORTRAN class back in 1982.
