billable-hour consultant’s hampster wheel of death
Thingamy is almost ready for its next phase of testing. Says Sigurd:
Doing some finishing touches to a works-nicely with-a-little-list-of-missing-features version of the thingamy (you’ll never hear me say pre this or that, and no alpha, no beta) that will go out to a few IT consultants and system integrators for some real life playing.
Because consultants can build their own, unique stuff with it, they’ll have something other than billable hours to sell to their clients. Which should be music to the ears to anyone who’s ever spent time on the billable-hour consultant’s hampster wheel of death.
Right, Dennis? James? Hamish?
[MEANWHILE:] Congrats to Tara for Riyah launching etc. A million pictures uploaded in 24 hours? Intense.

Fixing up a “pre-release” for a few system…
Nice
Ouch!
I’ll immediately add it to my “blunder log” [dept. of foot-in-mouth, minor gaffes]
Hey Hugh and Sig,
So…since there looks like a pre-release after all, did you need a tester or two?
I know a few consultants with well-read blogs who may want to use this for a spell to check out how it works for them (and give you some good user feedback).
T.
Let you know when I get my sticky mitts on it
