Such a Long Long Time…

it has been such a long long time since i have spent the night over at my company. as the project is coming to the end of 1yr, our job scope are getting bigger and bigger. initially, i was tasked to do sharepoint during POC back in june 2008. that was when everyone was very united, staying back in the company almost everyday just to come up wif a small system to present to the users.

then after this, i was tasked to do infopath. had to learn infopath from scratch, learn xpath, how to do coding outside infopath forms, etc etc. at that point of time, only me, ug, starlight were so called the developers for the ‘system’. with me handling infopath, starlight handling sharepoint and ug handling biztalk. we were the 3 musketeers…

after 3 mths later, more ppl joined this project. be it from other teams, newly recruited, contracted basis or from ODC. from a mere 10+ ppl doing the project, it grew to 60+. isnt it huge? also at that time, we had only 3 managers managing this project. now, we have at least 10… this is the 1st project i have seen so many managers managing. okok, lets get back to this ‘era’.

so from then till now, the prototype version has been going thru 10 releases already. we have 7 more releases to go before the actual project gets commissioned. now we are already panting to do testing for version 10… i wonder the next few releases, will it be worse?… more scopes, more tests, which also means more overnight oils… oh dear… when will this end?…
