8.30 or so... Participated in a meeting about an authoring tool for technical information that we are considering for the document management system that our company offers. Took about two hours or so, during which I pretty much shot the product down by listing some of its technical problems. I also explained to the sales guy why we don't want it, using terminology he knows (non-technical).
You owned that meeting, and the sales guy too.  :evillaugh:

Pretty much. I hope I didn't scare them away, though.

But it's part of my job, being a specialist. I'm expected to do this sort of thing, at times. ;D

*delurks*

So how do You like being the only webmaster?

It's OK but I miss Dunc. Lots of stuff I realise I'll have to find out about on my own, now. :laugh:

you can always email me if you get stuck, mate. anyway, working it out is half the fun.  :orly:

and will we be seeing you at my new cyber-pub (i.e. The Drivel) ? :beergrin:

I just have to ask would there be any reason You would quit being the webmaster?

If I didn't want to post here anymore, I probably wouldn't want to be a web monkey either. :-\

But I've just started out (on my own, that is) so give me time. :zoinks:
