Clocking in

By chris, posted on Apr 23rd 2007

Wow, it’s been nearly 5 months since I last wrote on here. What can I say, I’ve been busy. In fact I’ve been more than busy, I’ve been burning ever candle at every end I could find, but loving it (mostly!)

You may well be wondering what’s happening with projectGenie at the moment, and the answer is not much. I’ve added a few little updates to the demo site. In no particular order they are:

Renaming the ‘Tasks & Bugs’ section to ‘Latest notes’ (which is what it is)
Making the name of the person who wrote any note bold where the note was not written by yourself (i.e. the currently logged in user). This seemingly little thing makes it much easier to scan down lists of tasks and see which ones need attention.
Adding the facility to change your and (if you have the right privileges) anyone else’s layout style through their ‘Contact’ admin screen.

Not much, I know, but it’s something. For the ‘Brookmeyer’ version which hopefully I’ll get chance to work on some time this year, I’ll be rewriting the entire system to be much more modular, as well as incorporating my lovely JavaScript library to do all the eye candy stuff. I also want to give the option for clean URLs on servers that support it. And plenty more besides that, including reports, statistics etc. Goody goody. In the meantime please download ‘Anderson’, with the little tweaks mentioned above and watch this space.

To finish off I’ll share an excerpt from a nice email I got from a projectGenie user:

“First, major kudos for projectGenie! It is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for to help me run my web design business.”
