Pathfinder

First post of the year. Has been a while, hasn't it?

The gang was busy throughout the end-of-year holidays last year, shuttling between home and Palma Housing, completing the extremely complex task of upgrading our clients database.

While most organizations would no doubt settle their programming issues with a quick call to any major software vendor, Palma Housing wanted something special.

Something so rare the last time one of its kind was seen was in the late 1980s, and never again.

The property listing database.

This, coupled with the newer Microsoft Access database (whose execution was as welcome as a colonoscopy without pain medication) made the upgrading process as profoundly painful as a knife dripping with dog poo in the arteries.

After a three month struggle, our titanic project was finally completed (inclusive of planning, coding, drinks, and a dead camel).

The most comprehensive property management database software, tailor made to only one client, Palma Housing. We present: Palma* Pathfinder.

Still, the realities of life has caught up. Upper Six is a bus-load of sexually traumatized children.

Lots of homework, projects and people to handle.

Life goes on and on. Like diluted sewage in a flowing river feeding agricultural industries.

*The prefix is exchangeable ;)
