Well what a waste of time Tuesday was
Although I did manage to piss off a potential client by canceling a meeting, so not all bad
Hopefully they will realise I'm about as interested in their amazing new start web venture as I am in masterfucking chef
And guess what? If I do the work cheap for them they will remember me when they are internet millionaires
So If I just drive 2 hours each way, spend a further two hours listening how they can't possible draw up a brief doc - The whole thing is just too big - It's global - Then they can finish the meeting by saying,
Well we haven't really got a budget, per se - we were thinking of maybe up to £500.oo for a site just like ebay/amazon/twitter/myspace/linkedin but with more functionality
You know you're in trouble when some marketing wanker says the "per se" bit
Franky I'd rather pick at the little spotty bits on my scrotums - I suspect it will yield a higher dividend of reward versus effort in the long run
Plus I spent all day learning how not to configure false positive spam trap wankety widget thingy that works for everyone else on the planet but not me
Fucked up two servers in the process, another two days and I'm going to be at the point of possibly reading the user guide - Bastard
Website meeting with client tomorrow - So I'm doing some late night prep tonight
Mostly along the lines of googling techie type explanations as to why we are a month late
I'm leaning towards...
Hi Dave,
Nice suite,
Sorry we're a bit late but the complexity of migratory, non constant SQL exports have made transitioning the xml api a little more detailed than our initial evaluation report
Love to stay and chat but I'm having my arse waxed in 15 minutes
Bye
