my gf's brother is oddly on my google chat list. So he's always up on iChat

Makes me feel weirdly paranoid

Gaming for Windows Live.

Not really familiar with it. What makes it crappy?

You know my stance on windows.

Well they were a "microsoft house"
Which I have no problems with. They wanted me to design a ERP system. Sweet. I was pumped.

The CEO wanted it to be able to run on her iPad. Fantastic. PHP + MySQL or something of that nature right?

Nope. The head of IT insisted it be made in SilverLight.

Plus I honestly didn't learn much. It was work experience. No learning :\

I got paid well. They also gave me a 4 bedroom house + basement to live in. It wasn't too bad.

It was just irritating to be in the middle of a shit storm.

Also it was on the west side of atlanta. Used to be nice. Growing shitty. It's also the "i75 corridor" known for tornadoes and crazy storms.

That sounds... mostly, good. But Maybe stressful?

No offense alfa, but any company wanting an intern to whip up a new ERP system from scratch sounds like they're in big, big trouble.

Yeah looking back it was good. I just really hated dealing with old people. Average age there was in the mid 50's... wtf

It was fun taking shots at the other IT guys about their MS fanboyism.
I got my fair share of shit for my MBP i carried in every day.

They we're not even open to SAP Business One or some other prebuilt application.

A friend of mine was their next intern. His job was to finish programing and test the system. He only was able to finish programing it. He also was the last intern our school sent their way.

That custom ERP system was very similar to SAP Business 1. It was design to run off of amazon S3 so they would no longer need to maintain servers. I also had a way to import their entire back log of data.

Before they had to put up a new access DB file each week. Once the week was over they would pull it.

Think of how many access files they had!

They'll learn what a huge mistake they made when the system craps itself or they need some modifications and see the bill.

It encrypts save files.(You cannot use the save files in a different system.. or if your system has been formatted)

It needs always ON internet connection. You will lose any progress you make if your internet disconnects.

It has a crappy and unintuitive interface. Its servers does not seem to work half of the time. You need to pay them some money if you want to change your gamer tag.

Basically, it is worse than UBIcrap's DRM.

If they ever did finish the project... :hmm:

Wow yeah that's bad! I HATE the requirement for a persistent internet connection. It's just retarded and screams of paranoia on the part of the developer.

Looks like I am going to some tax returns this time. I always had to pay extra on top of the taxes. I think I am going to get an SSD and a GPU. Or, should I just pay my college fees. :hmm:
