I did some things very right in the new demo distribution - like putting all the extra lines in the ini file so that things could be turned on and off at will.
And I did a couple things not-so-right, such as forgetting one important section of the file. Ah, well, win some, lose some.
So far, I'm on top today. I changed a feature for a client. Net cost to me: under a minute. Net gain for the client: immense. (Thank heavens for flag settings - and this makes sense for the baseline, so good all around.)
And I'm almost 400 lines past where I was in the file I was reading (which is almost 8000 lines long), despite the interruptions. It really is a good morning - it's pretty out. And one of the resource personnel in for the training class today brought bagels, and offered one. He really wanted me to accept, but I had breakfast already - I didn't need a bagel to go with it. Nor was it really tempting - wrong mood for a bagel. But I appreciated the gesture a great deal, at least.
And he said that one of the settings I put in the ini file made it easy for him to adapt to a network-less situation without effort. Another thing I did right. Yay!
It's pretty outside: grey, damp but not wet, the light a bit pale, a bit wan, but gloriously light-colored. Silver light. It softens everything just a bit. Yesterday the trees glowed - light green, dark green, purple. Today they blend, soften edges. Yesterday was water colors, today is oil paints.
So far, so good. I admit, I've only been here an hour and a half, but the day is being kind.
And, as a small note? 3,000 is not equal to 30,000. Typos, bah.
