What's everyone working on?

While reading John's diatribes I just realised I have no idea what anyone's working on anymore. We have John Simmons doing WxF, Rex is into secret societies and I haven't done VBScript in ages. It's crazy. So how about a quick update so I can catch up?

Replacing a 10yr old Access system with all latest and greatest MS technologies including ASP.NET MVC, WCF, LINQ, SQL, a .NET port of our desktop application, in an n-Tier architecture using DDD and TDD. All of which will soon be integrated with a Mas500 + SalesLogix combo of death. p.s. this is a Reboot[^] of a failed attempt at integrating a 3rd party ERP system which claimed to support SQL when in reality it was a Progress database living inside a SQL table. You can't make this $%^& up. Obviously IT wasn't involved in the selection process :doh: Also nagging IT to get up to date with proper network and systems monitoring, a wiki and a ticketing system. nagios has stopped talking to MySQL so time to go troubleshoot that :doh: I feel like I'm working at Toys'R'Us as a fun tester.

Between projects at work at the moment. They have had a big restructure of the development teams. Last week I spent my team reading a manual on the new CMS system they've implemented. This week they want me to write add some JavaScript tracking code into our site. I'm sure I'll get some cutting edge exciting new project soon...
Words fade as the meanings change, but somehow, it don't bother me.

I've got something (that I find) interesting going: a set internal applications I've developed (using C# w/SQL Server) that we're using to print official ID cards for two major professional organizations in my state. After an ID card renewal cycle for these organizations, every member will be flashing cards printed by my application (this provides me a measure of geekly pride)! -Jay

Software to recreate 3D roads with multiple LOD's from OpenDRIVE, LandXML and various other data sources so they exactly match the engineering design (crossfall, super elevation etc.) Intersections are a pain! Also working on shaders for the various materials required - the semi-retroreflective road marking shader is proving to be a bit tricky. Cheers, Drew.

Good ol' Win32 with C++, some WTL, and lots of COM.

I said same birthday, not that we were born on the same day you young whippersnapper.

I'm implementing an entirely new version of the online ordering system for one of the two flagship products at the company I work for. It will deployed to several smaller pizza chains (maybe 250-300 stores in total). The last version was written in VB7 (not by me); this one is entirely rewritten in C# on .NET 3.5 - I get to use LINQ, lambdas, and all those goodies. :) I'll be so glad when I don't have to support the old VB version anymore!

I'm hacking a copy of ScrewTurn Wiki into a product documentation system. Specifically, fighting to get the necessary information from Active Directory to eliminate the need for yet another login. I hate Active Directory. I hate LDAP. I really hate
System.DirectoryServices. But it's almost done now. Yes, soon this madness will be behind me. I must keep telling myself that...----
You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.
...and you're going to write an article on how to do it, right? right?? (I have an LDAP demon of my own I've been putting off facing)

As much as I'm allowed to tell you legally, it's a set of GIS applications. Unfortunately, I can't describe it in too much detail.

A new release of our service management software (v5.0), right now I'm attempting to replicate the intricate code I originally wrote years ago to translate between sql code and the advanced filtering and sorting in the winform interface with the Infragistics grid to now also work in the asp.net interface with the Telerik grid which has no advanced filtering at all so I'm rolling my own. A lot of times ASP.NET stuff is like a black box and you have to throw ideas at it and see what comes out the other end, there's just no predicting what's going to happen across all browsers with 3rd party components. Reading through my fiery comments from years ago in the code I can relive all my original anger at the writers of the Infragistics grid control. :)

I would sooner cut my leg off with a ream of fanfold than write an article on LDAP. Madness fashioned out of absolute sanity. Might do one on writing a ScrewTurn provider though, that's fun. :-\
