Good to be back!

[Programmer]

Hi All,

I got back to Valencia late last night. If you saw Dominatrix's message from a couple of days ago you will know I was up in Madrid because of business related to my day job. It turned out to be quite a visit. The good news for me is that I have been handed not one, but two mission critical projects by my IT bosses. It is a huge vote of confidence from the company I work for (Centrica). It also means I will be going up to Madrid with much greater frequency, I will have some other programmers working under me etc. Inevitably I will have to put in a fair amount of overtime too. If all goes swimmingly well it should also mean that I get a good bonus next year, which will obviously help me to keep the Orphalese Tarot project running.

What this means for the program is that all work on new features is on ice until further notice. I will try to fix any bugs that come to light though, and improve the existing features. For example: Marvin's request for improvements to the spread designer (dragging the cards, an option to align tops and sides etc, a better grid) will get done. Scorp's problem with not being able to access the OTZ via a LAN connection will get fixed, but the external log in page won't get done. Rhutobello's bug report about the compare cards form not showing all the cards will also get attention...basically if it is a bug or something not working right I will try and fix it, but I won't add any new features for the time being, I am sure you all get the picture.

I am going to go through the posts of the last few days and answer all the ones directed at me. There are also a couple of ideas I really want to share with the forum, I will post about them separately.

BTW, I am also going to upload some changes to the welcome page which I did last week before I went to Madrid, which is why the Magician has his hard hat on again (you can guess who to thank for the graphic!)...

Cheers

Richard

Well I think a congrat is in order:)
Looks like Centrica start to spot the same programmer gem as we Orpalese users have seen for a long time.
I am sure Orphalese can wait for new implements for a time. When thinking back we have recived 1 Christmas present after another and that will only spoil us in the long run:)
I am sure your love for the program will force you back to us when time allow it.
Mine bug report is more a cosmetic thing, and for those users who find it, there is easy workaround...so no late nights for that one:)

Good luck!!:)
