wanna see my snake?
As mentioned in another thread I worked out how to create outlook meeting requests on the fly the other day, 20 minutes of my time well spent as its a great addition to a training booking system I wrote last week.

Most my photo work is in Lightroom/Photoshop. Somewhere further down the list is using a command line to drive Photoshop automation. At the top of my list is writing a cron job to backup wordpress websites. Only got as far as writing some pseudo code - will be a shell script that reads a configuration file. The configuration file will detail the ftp server/MySQL server and login credentials and the backup frequency.
Interesting food for thought all the same
Just rolled out a mostly untested booking system to over 700 users, let the fun commence! I do love live product development
When development timeframe > deadline then code on the fly.
Are all hard drives still made in that one single giant factory on a floodplain in Taiwan?
Or was that another cheese dream?
That's almost correct. There are (or at least were) a few factories in that location that all suffered flooding. I remember a laptop sata hard drive rising from £32 to £130 at one point. Several customers chose to buy new laptops instead of having their old ones fixed, and left me with their old one for my troubles. Needless to say I had a few laptops to sell when the prices eventually dropped again
I'm beginning to think you work in project manager land, where there are colleagues aplenty and budgets run free. I'd love to see you function under local authority conditions where you're lucky if the person you'd normally collaborate with hasn't been made redundant and your budget is less than your expenditure planned out 2 years ago.
Hypothetical question then, If you were asked for something that takes 5 days to develop to be delivered in 4 days what steps would you cut? There is no extra funding or manpower available and you're already working extra hours (and it is company policy not to allow remote work). I'm genuinely intrigued which part of the development lifecycle you'd cull, but I suspect the answer I'll get will be to throw more non-existent resources at it.
Use Rsync. It is smart enough to only copy the delta changes.
