With fifteen seconds to spare, I handed in, well, *most* of the stuff we were meant to hand in today for the group project. My personal report irritatingly failed to make it in the batch of stuff, but I suspect we can hand a bunch of stuff to our 'client' tomorrow and he'll pass it on duitifully. Still working on stuff, hence, but marginally less frantically. I think we have probably won, if the people doing the marking are being remotely fair.

Yay! I managed to drag myself into the CL this morning to do the same.

When it was my group project (back in the Mistes of Tyme) I didn't have to do that, as we'd been in the CL since early Sunday morning coding away; we finally finished at 6am on the day of the deadline (did I mention that the Sunday we spent coding like loonies was my birthday?) and then I hastily wrote the various reports and stuff. Happy days...

Aww :(
I was doing documentation, though...

Happy Birthday-sometime-around-now, then! Mine was on Monday but I spent it bashing away at a user manual :(

I was the project manager but for some reason ended up being coder, tester and documenter as well. The project went well, mostly, but one guy tasked with a fairly vital piece of the project just didn't do it, and kept lying about when he would have it done. Good fun to explain in job interviews tho'.

Thanks! Tomorrow, actually :) Same to you, belatedly.

We used Kern IRC to talk to each other during the all-night coding session...

Hehe, did you set up a channel for your group? That's such a good idea.

So did we (#groupproject for historical reasons), but the mailing list got a lot more use...

So,

chess, how did the third client meeting go? Your client didn't look too pissed off and did leave early, so I'm guessing it was all OK in the end.

We hadn't got everything together, but he's quite good-humoured so we spun a lovely line in bullshit and he knows that at least one of the group has completely failed to do anything and another one is fairly rubbish. Hopefully we'll actually have a working thingamy by code-freeze.
