What's so unusual about that? It's SOP in the Tech Sector; documentation always follows manufacturing and the ECO will be Implemented next quarter. Maybe. Well, actually it has improved since the Dot Com bust. In 2000, we were pushing capital equipment out the door as fast as the manufacturing floor could assemble it. "Gotta ship to recognize revenue; damn the documentation!" But, cooler heads have prevailed in recent years (not surprising considering the amount of time some now have on their hands), and we now must have the ECO Implemented in Oracle by the system ship date. But it still isn't a design-then-build sequence; they're very much concurrent processes.
Gasp!! I've slipped into "work-speak"! It all sounds so Dilbert-esque, when I read what I typed.
LOL! That's okay. I'll just make sure I don't slip into "work-speak" - If I do I'm sure you'll all fall asleep. ;-)
We've quoted Scott Adams and his creations here before.
I particularly like Dogbert's saying that he had wondered about the meaning of life ... so he looked it up.
In the Dictionary! ... "Somehow it was less than I expected." He said.
-- Actually, we've had to rebuild the castle. When we realized that we were approaching the end of the internet for the first time, I made arrangements to lift the castle grounds and all its contents with some extremely large hot-air balloons, and some very powerful turbo-jet engines. We moved it initially to Loch Ness, and did a little tour of the neighborhood. (We stocked up on beer in the process!)
Then we flew over the North Pole and stopped for a while in Kauai. We began some of our engine modifications there, developing a way to extract a Useful element from seawater so that we could build a large number of Gas-Cooled Nuclear Reactor/Rocket Engines.
We then moved the "Flying Castle" to Eniwetak Atoll, so that we could finish up the Useful element extraction, and link up with our other pods.
We've disposed of the turbo-jet engines, and other stuff, and made arrangements to transport into space some science cargo for those who have trouble getting it up.
As soon as everything is completely put together, we'll move into Earth orbit, and then to Lunar orbit, and finally on to Mars!
