The frequency of posts here is inversely proportional to the Dennis workload... Since the last update, work on the preview of the Project Dennis alpha site has been completed and we have moved into the implementation phase, where the business rules layer is coded to integrate the database and GUI layers. This is done in a series of so-called 'sprints', where a number of related sections are developed as a group and then tested, while the next sprint is worked on.
Time has slipped away from us somewhat, and we are now looking at a probable alpha go-live at the end of April. Frustrating as this is, we believe that the hard development work being done now will save us much more time down the road.
In addition I have also been working on a top secret new blog "Dennis Lore," which will help our community of alpha testers learn more about the project and also seed the Help & FAQs section of the site. Back to work...!

Thank heavens you're not going live too early - whatever you're up to. There are various 'thangs' that I've been involved with that haven't - absolute disaster!!
I have been working on business rules in my work area today re a new IT package which is a huge decision thing ... you just can't rush these things they have to be right/thought out/practical and deliver what you need...
ooo a new blog to stalk.. oops view ;-)
Dennis Lore?
A friend of Hobby Charlton, perhaps?
@DP - I can't imagine you doing anything too early, DP. Always had you down as a 'leave it till the last possible minute.. or later' type of chap ;-)
@70s - You'll have to register on the alpha site as a tester to be able to stalk the blog (NDAs, etc.)...interested?
@laog - Indeed. Only Sweatier. (not much gets past you, does it?)
oooo I am not sure you would want me stomping through your professional blog with my typos... would I need a special visa, inoculations, special protective clothing ? ;-)
@70s - Not really. A warped, sorry, open mind should suffice :-)
