Is this supposed to make my life easier?

Some times I wonder about our CM (change management?) system. I have one document I want to add, “sorry you don’t have the role to do that”. So I move onto updating some scripts but do I create a TDR or and ER?, response oh an ER. So I now have my ER, but I still can’t do any work on it since someone else has to approve it, so my computer is filling up with -temp files until I can get the CM system to allow me to check out my code so I can edit it. Then there is the little problem of not being allowed to load a file with the same name twice in different projects…… I am sure this is supposed to make my life easier but I am getting to the point of doing my development on my local machine and only checking in files when I am finished but kind of defeats the purpose of using CM.

I have finally gotten close to finishing an other page for projectphotos. I want to have a show case of my favorite photos that are online, normally you need to create a loggin before you can see them. I like to know who is looking at the photos:) I should go sleep now

I got an email from two of my oldest friends in Scotland (well one escaped back to England but I can forgive him for that). One has become management, so I guess he needs uninstall his compiler and be satisfied just using word and power point. The other is finishing up her Phd.

“The Oxford bar was busy when Rebus arrived. He’d already had one drink at the Maltings, leaving before the evening influx of student, and two drinks at Swany’s on Causewayside.” Ian Rankin, Set in Darkness.
Its fun reading Ian Rankin books they are mostly set in Edinburgh. The Maltings used to be one of the pubs I would drink in while I was a student at Edinburgh Uni. I used to live across the road from The Blue Oyster which was transformed into the Cali sample room, mmmmm Cali 80. Then in my final year I lived about a stones throw away from The Physician and Frikin. My flat mate used to give directions using pubs as landmarks.
