UAT
Woo, been busy lately. And this blog is pretty low priority, especially since no one but me can read it right now anyway. But today was rocking, we’re all caught up, and it’s 5:05. So, I’m going to call this last hour easy.
We’ve got a new interface coming. It’s been on the way for awhile, but this time it’s for real. They say friday, so maybe in a few weeks! Now for some, like marketing and sales, this release will be a neat selling point since mostly just makes using our site quicker and more intuitive. But for us techies and folks on the hardware frontline, it’s a really exciting release that wedges open that door to world domination.
Which reminds me, the new [fourth] electric six album is out! And takes the name of “I Shall Exterminate Everything Around Me That Prevents Me From Being The Master.” If the only way I could see these guys when they come town would be to give up meat for a year, I’d do it without so much as blinking. I won’t lie to you though, either you get e6 or you don’t. By the way, the website is work safe, but I wouldn’t play the music at work unless you’ve got headphones. Fire is the first album and it’s spectacular; start there. Senor Smoke is sublime, but you won’t like it unless you already get e6 because the lyrics aren’t as easily audible. Switzerland (3rd album) isn’t a complete embarrassment. And this new one seems to be unsurpassable by man.
edit: So, I bought a T-shirt with this image, and went to the show. The show was fantastic, and now the album’s greatness has lessened slightly with time to be more in line with the first two.
But back to my business: I’ve spent the past few days pouring out all my thoughts and irritations and future hopes into the comment boxes of the User Acceptance Testing surveys that the web design office has had us all doing on the new interface. It’s been pretty exciting, I feel like I’m actually doing some heavy contributions to our future shape, instead of my usual sense that I’m helping hold up one end of the wagon [which is still a great place to be].
If I get some time over the next few business days, I’d like to detail some of the coming features and some of my suggestions. But I’m going to head home now.
Edit:
Friday Nov 2nd: Talked this blog over with my boss and got some guidance. So now it’s public!
