You're so Left Grim, you disagree with anyone who's right.

[Ngati_Grim]

ahahaha, I just see no justification that Aquila is a tool.

[Tandoori]

Good point, a tool is useful.

I take issue w/ the fact here is a guy on a benefit complaining about not having enough to eat a decent meal. Yet willing to spend hundreds of dollars he - by his own admission - doesn't have to upgrade his computer so he can overclock. All the while detesting the idea of being poor, and feeling victimized by the idea of beneficiaries getting food cards (when he's displaying the financial aptitude of Lehman Brothers).

Frankly, that warrants the label 'tool' in my book.

Design and build a website with full scalable ordering via shopping cart.

Three Months of scope chaging additions we are nearing going live. Products are set, making finishing touches and testing.

Client emails with pages and pages of information on how they want their order forms to work.

WHAT THE FUCK GEEZUS MOTHER FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
WHERE DO I FIND THESE FUCKING IDIOTS

[Pyromanik]

That's the bit where you point at the spec and scope (more specifically point at where it isn't in there), then say that'll be $3650 extra.

(And/or flat out deny that the software is even capable of achieving it without significant investment, and if they really wanted that they should have brought it up BEFORE development started so you could have chosen a more appropriate tool.)

[Tandoori]

And then piss on their weetbix.

[toofast]

So this Aquilla Rosso chap is clearly a tool.

elaborate.

Calling bullshit on anyone designing on Powerpoint.

[Retardobot]

It's not the first time I've done it either.

Clients ask for some odd things at times.

[Tandoori]

My dear boy! Do you ask the fish how it swims? Or the bird how it flies? No sir-ee you don't, they do it because they were born to do it.

I've been stung with that little flopzy motherfucker myself.

Just design in Illustrator and import WMFs I think they are...

Creepy scope changing halflings always trying to squeeze every extra fucking thing http://freelanceswitch.com/clients/4-ways-to-kill-scope-creep/

I'm done with 'ah to hell, I'll just do it to keep the customer happy'. I'm going to slamm this invoice for every moment extra, this is the last straw.

[Growler]
