When do I get the chance to do something alike?” I found later that it was a Flash object that I consider nowadays to be a pain in the ass in which concerns web design standards.
Last month I came up with a college project where we had to report our work in a 70-90 pages technical document. I was in a five people group and we agreed that everyone had to write a part of it and gather it all in the end. I was talking to another group’s colleague about the way they were gathering all the jigsaws of the puzzle. He said his group took about two and a half hours to complete the formatting and design of the whole document. After I browsed through their document, I took my not so good conclusions… The report was somehow inconsistent and compromised. Obviously the job wasn’t successfully accomplished.
