Set project.status=done

The final presentation for my project was today, and it went well.

I'll have a bit of downtime while the contract for the next phase (refining some of the criteria a bit more, creating a release plan, and building the production version) is negotiated, but my company definitely wants to leverage my knowledge. In the meantime, I'm going to try improving my web development skills a bit more. The prototype I built was hand-coded because I don't trust most of the editors out there to produce standards-compliant code, and I need to work a bit more with dynamically generated code.

This also means I have time to turn to other creative activities since I won't be driving an hour each way for work. Now that I think about it, I may have to move closer to the client if the project is scheduled to last for a while.

Congrats, it's good that they liked your work so much that they want you back.

Having a job that has definite starts and finishes to projects, rather then just continually editing, and maintaining the code must be really nice. Downtime's always good.

I never trust HTML editor programs. When it produces files that are six times as long ones I enter manually. When a single line has three lines of intro font information, and three more lines of trailing font info, it's a bit excessive, I don't want to know how they'd bloat real scripting code.

Creativity time's good, I really need to find more of it myself. Have fun.

Speaking of creativity, I was wondering if you could recommend some good/free imaging software. I've got an idea I want to try animating. I usually make a bunch of .BMP's, and then cram them into a .GIF, but that gets tedious at times. Plus the program I use to make the .GIF's is a demo, so it randomly puts water marks in. Thanks.
