Still trying out Oovoo, as I can see by screenshots. Though, it always shoots everything in displayed resolution, i.e. it's an ordinary screenshot of its own window, not saving the image in the received size.

For Richard a special build of Feds 5.2, don't remember what was it different that he had. Nobody likes to have a special version for just one customer - if it can go as an add-on, we have methods to activate it conditionally, and then that customer satisfies that condition, or it becomes a part of the exe and gets used by one or perhaps three of them - irrelevant, they pay for it and they get it. Why did we do a special version for him (aha, found it, it's SHET!), wish I knew. On the other side, it's good that this lopsided reality didn't last, perhaps a few weeks, and then he got the next regular build.

Added a new validation rule to SHET, that ineligible cycles have to have records but need not be validated (whatever that may mean). In the afternoon Jan held a programmers' meeting, and invited Suez and Das to join in. Seems to be Hana was also there, though I'm not sure she really counted as a programmer. The subject was, it seems, how to avoid work of adjusting this SHET contraption for 5.2, because it's complicated and costs time. And so Daniel got the task to talk Richard into buying an escueelle server as soon as possible, because he was the only one left with SHET and deebyeffs.

Big cosmetic surgery on Feds is up. For starters I got the task to look up the classes supplied by Aleksej Grigorjev (Алексей Григорьев), with pretty buttons, and also a replacement for the menu system, because the extant meny system in windowses is tehcnicolor shit, not to be washed but made from scratch, and the guy did make it. In the end it looked much better, and of course I managed to find a way to run it all from my table (not menu.dbf, but rather an apltree.dbf), and I even wrote a form to edit the menus, not only the main one but also various dropdowns, onform toolbars etc. Looked much better and the code wasn't scattered in dozen places.

Packing Lena for the beginning of the school year (which will start in october, but let's start a bit earlier). It being a wednesday, I worked regularly until 17, then we got into the saxo and drove off. I guess we had coffee at her place. We switched the shooters - she got the Fujica 9100 (or 9600, I'm bad with names), and I the eeex. The first shots with it I made in near dark, down around the building, I think we went to buy milk or something like that.
