Friday 25th 'Launch Day' March

The final day was finally here but it started off according to Murphy's Law in waking up late and missing my lift to uni but luckily i was able to get a lift from Craig. when we got to uni on our way to the meeting the law according to this fella called Murphy continued as walking to the meeting in the rain we found out it was cancelled as there was a problem with the site in the middle of the night when everything from a current version appeared to vanish, which also sticks to murphys law of anything that could go wrong would go wrong.

When everyone met up in the labs we then established what point we where at and how close we were in being able to launch at midday. what i had been set to do was to add meaningful test data to the website so i set out to add test data to the timetable so that the users that are to be used in the demostration would have lessons to attend. after spending 30mins adding information to the timetable i went to the integration team and realised that they wernt working of the website that was working online and i had spent that time doing nothing.

The demonstration which started at 12 in my eyes went superb and the website was working without any problems at all. with the questions that where asked by JP Morgan and the Student union i feel that the 3 weeks were completed with success. After the demo it was time to mingle and chat with the visitors but this only got as far as lecturers and not the visitors from JP Morgan.

TThis was a completion to a very stressful and large lack of sleep of the 3 weeks. i have to admit that i was very impressed by the final outcome of the website and i was happy with what i had added to the website. In whole i feel that SB was worth while and i benefited from it as i learned alot to do with the management of a project and also benefited from talking to people alot more and not being as quiet although i still get abit annoyed that people havent got over me and other people that arent english saying things differently!
