16-IV-2003.

More work for Gary and the event browser, aka BWG (big wide grid). The beast is becoming enormous, there are more and more buttons, more columns in the grid, more pieces of HTML that I'm pre-populating behind the scenes.

Some trouble with the check he last sent me - I deposited the check but didn't see the money land squarely on my account. It appeared and then disappeared...

On other fronts, in rebfpt.prg on 21st I added the option to check for nullable fields. Generated the whole set of routines for Gary with it.

If you find that the amount of 1720$ was taken off your account, let me know, and I'll start pressing my bank. They've already confessed to one screwup recently, I wouldn't be surprised they made more of those.

The bank kept the check, so I figure the only option is to start using PayPal again. We had 43 hours there, plus seven hours meanwhile - so that's 50 now.

I'll definitely change the bank. They charge when they say "good morning", and have lost my payments several times, have been late posting my deposits etc etc. This is just the last straw - not that they didn't cash the check, but that they haven't told me anything about it, just took the money off my account without a single word of warning.

I was using AtGuard, a firewall, to filter out any urls containing /logo/, so the annoying animated gifs from the most irritating sources were gone.

Here's a sample of what I have at Orion, one of the circular mails from our project manager:

Developers, if there is an update to the progress on any of these tasks, please update me ASAP. We want to be able to test these items as soon as they are ready. Note: There are still outstanding/unsigned requirements

for 28,31,37, and 3.
