Three quotes from the emminently quotable and deeply insightful Richard Bach today. Very pertinent to my life at the moment.
Thank you R 🙂
Hi guys,
Just talked to WIT about the SecurIST and SecurityTaskForce websites.
They’re being difficult about this and demanding that the websites be done
by the end of next week. This is an urgent requirement. Therefore I’d ask
everybody to drop me a quick email (cc’ed to everybody else) telling me what
they’ve done and what remains to be done on each site. I have good reason to
believe that WIT will fail to pay or lower their fee if we don’t deliver
within this time.
Ciaran could you please send me the link for your latest version of the
SecurIST site. Brian & Willie, can you get some work done on the
SecurityTaskForce site as soon as Calmast is put to bed.
The animator has sent me our calmast animation but it has a problem with it.
They used the wrong logo. Still it’s pretty cool. See the results @
www.gaisan.com/sdempsey/flash/calmast.swf . I’m fixing it at the moment.
I’ve also placed a timesheet spreadsheet in this directory. I want you guys
to keep track of the hours that you work on the project (as I’m sure you’re
doing) and fill in this form when you’re finished. This is available @
http://www.gaisan.com/sdempsey/timesheet_template.xls The rate shown is 40
euro/hour. The actual rate will probably be between 30 & 40, depending on
whether we deliver what was promised on-time and get paid accordingly. Some
of these are fixed price projects and therefore I have to work towards a
budget which includes everything from animation & logo design to office
supplies etc.
I can’t emphasise enough that I need everybody to get in contact with me if
there’s a problem in meeting a deadline or meeting any requirement. We’ve
got 2 unhappy customers now and we’re going to charge them thousands for
websites. As the expression goes “that’s no way to run a railroad”. Most
disconcertinly, WIT have 2 other projects which are even larger that they
may offer to us but are using these delays as a bargaining position.
Therefore I’d urge everybody to work as hard as possible over the next few
days to ensure we get these projects in before the end of next week.
Sincerest regards,
…shane

Hi guys,
Just to let you know. We’ve “encouraged” Brian to pay for the project. He
called me to tell me that the cheque is being sent via registered mail. A
call to an post confirmed this & we should have it by Friday. He still needs
some assistance with administering the system. He’s going to put his machine
on a static IP & so we can log in to configure it. We’ll see what happens.
I’m going to ask for a post dated cheque for administration fees.
regards,
…shane
