Posted by: Dale Franks on Sunday, December 11, 2005 I've been away all week, which accounts for my total lack of blogging. Once again, I had to fly out to Washington, DC on business, and had a series of marathon meetings with some USMC officials. Over the last week, I've put in about 80 hours of work. When I got home yesterday, I went to bed at 3:00 in the afternoon, and didn't wake up until 8:00 this morning. I really slept badly while I was there, mainly because the abrupt switch from 60° weather to 25° east coast snowstorms gave me a nasty cold. Adding to the misery was the meetings themselves. Usually, as a programmer, your job is to model the business processes of your client. So, when you ask the client's represenantives, "Does your process do X?", and two of the client reps answer immediately and simultaneously "Yes," and "No," then you've pretty much reached an impasse. The thing is that the Marines have created a new process, and, while they've got the Big Picture down, they haven't really gotten into the details. So, to the extent that they walked away from the week with some help from us in clarifying the details of their process, the meetings were successful. In any event, I did manage to get a very little bit of extra time to get a few pictures while I was there, and I wanted to share them with you.
