continuing to program "pickem" games for our radio station here. Had good success with my NFL Pickem, College Football pickem, and College Basketball bracket contests...
working on an NBA and NHL playoff bracket or pickem game now.
I also spend a lot of time re-working the stuff I make for our sales people... making things idiot proof is easy... making them sales person proof... now that's hard!
Maybe it's just radio sales people who are dense...?

I'm working on my own CMS type thing, although I see it as something better than a CMS. (CMS as in Content Management System). Imagine PHP Nuke, or e107, and then imagine something 100 times better

Thats what I am trying to do, and it's not easy!
Also, i'm trying to develop my own personal site which is proving to be difficult too because I can't seem to stick with a design i like. My own expectations are too high I think... anyways... CMS and site... thats my major projects! Both personal more or less... I'll release my CMS to the public, but I want it more or less for myself because the themes system is proving to be one hell of a complicated thing...

When you take it over could you get it to creep out when no-one's looking then drive around in the dust and make a face?
Crop circles begin to take on a new meaning... did they not originate in Glasglow?

I'm currently programming a community website, all php done by me, of course. it'll have upload scripts and user-management and all of that good stuff. also, i'm coding a forum for it, so the forums will be 100% custom, and implemented with the website, so information transfers from the site to the forum smoothly and stuff

BZZZZ Wrong Answer. The Correct answer is "A survey system, which will be used bu our HR dept"... My dad is a linguist and always corrects me about about the Norwegian language usage, so I guess I have it from him and I correct "bad" description of developed software
btw I'm working on extending a gateway processing system to automatically handle and re-submit after weirdo errors from authorize.net, settling and adjustments etc, no gateway is flawless I guess...

I was having an argument about the proper use of title case at work yesterday, apparently my colleagues see nothing wrong with capatilising 'the' in the middle of a sentence, urgh.
But the correct answer in the case above is probably 'a survey that HR will be distributing to a couple of people'. Oh how rewarding work is. Of course after that I get to integrate a taxonomy system and new search engine with lots of bells and whistles.

sounds like your employer has an odd approach to software development, "A survey that...." doesnt produce much re-usability.. anyway, the "reward" is that you may have to do it again, and this time you can spend just as much time on the project, although you already it (almost) made from last time, so you spend the time at the beach instead

Totally. Unfortunately I'm being asked for instantaneous results rather than reusability and less dev time in future. I will quietly get the system done though.
