Getting In The Groove

SysRisk

As many of you know, I left Deloitte late last month and have moved onto a position within IT Audit at SMBC Nikko Securities. This new position puts me in the thick of a Japanese working environment, which is challenging on many levels – language being the least of which. I look forward to this career change since it pulls out of the rat race that Big Four job have turned into. Long gone are the days where Big Four managers could get regular work and charge exorbitant rates. The competition is stiff and the rates are falling through the … Continue reading Getting In The Groove

Lazy Sunday

SysRisk

I’m back in Japan and back to the grind after a good, short vacation on Guam. I was called back to JP for some clean-up work before I change jobs, and also thought it would be a good idea to do some programming on the home development server to release WorkPapers Windy 2011; which is about two weeks past due.Lately, I have been programming a lot of python in order to create a REST API for WorkPapers (http://workpapers.pro). The first version of this API will be used for push/pull/replication functions in this upcoming release of the desktop application. While working … Continue reading Lazy Sunday

Playing With Python…. Trying To Get Back To Pictures

SysRisk

Over the last couple of months have really enjoyed studying, coding, debugging a bunch of Python code, but last weekend I got the photo bug again. Going to make it a point to pick up the cameras this weekend and organize photos and shoot a few. Stay tuned.If you are a WorkPapers user and are looking for a next release update, please visit that blog at http://workpapers.pro/blog.After BASIC, Pascal, C, C++, Perl, Objective-C, RealBASIC, and Java, I have found Python! For the cloudy world that we live in these days, with applications being split between the web and desktop (e.g., … Continue reading Playing With Python…. Trying To Get Back To Pictures

Web App To Desktop App

SysRisk

Exactly one year ago when I started on the latest iteration of WorkPapers.Pro, the web application development took front and center position, and a desktop integration was an after-thought… for a couple of reasons. First, I had already developed about four different versions of the desktop application in multiple languages, so was not worried about generating another iteration to accommodate the web application rapidly. On the other hand, developing a web application for the internet (versus intranet) was a new experience and took more time.The release times reveal this. The web application took about nine months to develop into its … Continue reading Web App To Desktop App

Another WorkPapers Milestone – Desktop Release

SysRisk

Lately, in this blog I try not go on about my pet software project, but cannot help to brag about some milestones. So, I’ve finally done it! About four years ago when I finished the RealBASIC version of WorkPapers (v2x) for Mac and Windows, I started to create a web version, but never got to it…. just could not stretch my time  to make yet another version. The press release is here.This time around I started with the web version of WorkPapers, then went to the drawing board with an almost identical desktop version – interface and function. This led … Continue reading Another WorkPapers Milestone – Desktop Release

WorkPapers Desktop Coming Soon

SysRisk

The upcoming release of WorkPapers desktop software will be the third major release version written in yet a third, different programming language. I started with the release of the original WorkPapers in late 2004, which was a Mac only version written in Objective-C/Cocoa. Soon after that release, I developed a RealBASIC version of the software, since there was an obvious demand for a multi-platform version of the software. This second version sold quite well, but with RealBASIC, was real difficult to maintain and customize as much as end users (and myself) wanted.To meet the multi-platform demand and the long range … Continue reading WorkPapers Desktop Coming Soon

WorkPapers Release, Some Great OS X Applications

SysRisk

First things first! WorkPapers Web Edition is now available at https://workpapers.pro. The site still has a few rough edges, but the project has progressed enough to invite blog readers, registered users of the desktop software, and others for a taste of the best work flow software on the ‘net. Register here to get into the provisioning system. At this time all provisioning is manual in order to evaluate load requirements and have a bit more security control over site access. We’ll automate the process in the near future (actually it’s already coded, but not enabled) after we have determined the … Continue reading WorkPapers Release, Some Great OS X Applications

After much anticipation from the WorkPapers user community, I am proud to announce that invitations for WorkPapers trials and testing will go out throughout the following week.

Those who actively participate in this phase over the next couple weeks will receive a free one year subscription to the service. Please notice the ‘actively participate’ qualifier. That means posting to the user forum with bugs since there will still be a few, suggesting improvements, commenting on your own work application … Continue reading WorkPapers Release Around The Corner

Whew!! Coming Up For Air

SysRisk

Hi All. Crawled out of the dark coding dungeon for some fresh air over the next couple days. Then back into web site touch-ups, alotta photoshop, and some rounding out the rough edges, then deployment. Last night uploaded a milestone version of the web version of WorkPapers to the repository. This version pretty much does all of the base functions – tying together workstep and results editors to the tree view, attachments, project tracking, and the first step of Google Apps integration.Okay, okay, I know you all have no idea on what I am describing… thinking out loud. But when … Continue reading Whew!! Coming Up For Air
