Since the application now runs on the production PC as well as on my development system, this was good milestone to show to the customer. Given how late this project is, they were surprisingly calm about everything. When they showed me the mechanical side of the project, it was obvious that thing's were, um, how shall I say, a wee bit different. It's not surprising really, as the original specification was all of two sentences, one of which stated that it worked like an app I did for them several years ago. <^_^;
Well, at least I know why they were so calm. Looks like we are doing another iteration! Have I mentioned lately how much I love specifications. -_^

Project Humour
Every project starts with some sort of specification. This is one of favourites: "You did project A and project B for us a few years ago. We have a new project C which combines A and B and adds a few more features. Should be easy, right?" Er, no, not really. Then there is the famous, "This just an abstract, high level design for now." OK, then can I give an abstract estimate? No, I thought not. Ah, the lighter side of custom software projects. ^^
