Hello Readers! It's been a while since I've done this, or been at work for that matter. It's good to be back (no really!) but I need another week off to recover as I've spent the last 12 days moving house and attending to the assorted extras that entails. I have just the one update for you today, which is from the Web Team in the shape of Mark...
Hello out there in community land. Mark here, reporting on today's activities in the Web Development team. Most of the team's been working on a major project that we can't talk about. *whispers* Look, we trust you lot, but you never know who might be reading. *glances around, looking for suspicious trench coat wearing types* Anyhow, while I can't tell you about the details, I can say that things have so far gone very smoothly. We're now at the stage we call 'Integration', which is where we throw all the words, pictures and code together and make sure it's going to work when you lovely people try to interact with it. The previous flurry of creativity now has to give way to careful checking, fixing and gap filling. As a result, there's been a 45% reduction in chatter, and a 62% increase in furious keyboard bashing. Gary appears to have reduced his tea intake by 200% percent. Frankly, I'm worried. Could it be the strain? I asked the rest of the team if they'd got anything to add. Nick says "I've been working on plenty of support page updates, testing and peer reviewing. A usual Monday I'd say. In other news, my diary tells me that today's historical event was that in 1919 the R34 was the first airship to make a return journey across the Atlantic. Hasn't technology come a long way since then?" Yes Nick, Airships are cool. Bring back airship! I learned from this news article that every second spent web browsing generates 20 milligrams of CO2. Naturally, I stopped browsing immediately and got back to work … laters taters..
Thank you Mark - I like that ending so I think I'll steal it.. Laters taters!
