Deadly:

Since we're using analogies, I see things as David does. I also see the other side.
Back in the day when I ran my own business "PC repair" I learned early on people do not care one iota why their computer was hosed. They couldn't understand no matter how I explained it to them that the original assesment ended up being something else and therefor their bill was more. The only thing they were interested in is getting back a working PC in the time frame I promised and for the amount I quoted. 

Hmmmmm - yes I do believe this is EXACTLY what you are up against.

People couldn't care less why you're behind so no matter how much you update the blog people generally won't care. They only care about getting what they were promised. After all, you are a business and they are the customer. I guess coming from the otherside of the fence than most other people makes it easier to turn a blind eye to it all. 

Keep going my man - you're almost at the finish line.

No, "free crap" is not a common saying for "free stuff". "Free stuff" is a common saying for "free stuff" and "free crap" is a common saying for "free crap". The word "crap" in "free crap" indicates worthlessness, while "free stuff" gives no indication of value/worth.

Not where I am from.   Free crap = Free sh!t (sorry to bypass the filter Saint...had to get the word across) = Free schwag = Free stuff.   If that's not a common saying where you are from,  sorry about that.  That was/is my intention and I am sure Dave (and likely the vast majority of the rest of the folks here) knew that.

Another example... "I gotta move my stuff..."  "I gotta move my crap..."  Both mean the very same thing...

CRAP: Miscellaneous or disorganized items.... (among other definitions)... in this case used as "miscellaneous items"...

Now,  lets not continue with the thread crapping about "crap".





Daviea:

Friz,

I knew what you meant.  As much as you have a problem with me personally, I know that you don't have a problem with my stuff. 

Dave

Hey Deadly,

I think you know what I am up against.  I'll just keep plugging along.  

Though, I do see a couple of subjects in this entire thread that are things I could work on.  As long as I see some sort of response to my query on the subject, otherwise I will have to assume that I should keep doing things as I have.  

You mentioned something which made me realize that I forgot to mention cost control.  I've been trying to keep the cost of this SW yoke as close to my original price as possible, even though my cost has risen substantially do to many unforeseen issues.  Perhaps I should push the point, but I thought the fact that I was keeping the cost under control while dealing with all the issues was obvious.  Then again, does anyone really care?

Dave

I don't have a problem with you personally... I have a problem with you professionally (well,  that's not the word really... but you get my drift).  And that problem is no more.  I don't care anymore.... at all.  You won't see me commenting on your yoke deadlines any longer.  I've given up.
