Today marked the end of an incredibly long SalesLogix upgrade from 5.2 to 6.1. There were a few bugs in my implementation but none that were too serious. I get to spend the rest of the week hammering them out, taking the time tonight to focus on a pretty big logic blunder.
SalesLogix is slowly becoming a decent CRM application. It is one of the best now but it's starting to become something our company can really use and maximize. 6.1 is tons easier to use and maintain than any previous version which is very good news. Now that I have more time, I'm going to start developing a proactive management solution simply because it's needed.
This means that I'll have more time to blog mainly because I won't have much intellectual stimuli other than the occasional bug fix. I want to post on a couple of issues I've noticed with SalesLogix as well as get my management system built. I've had some more ideas about RobOS that I'd like to put out here to eventually build upon. I may have too much free time now though, which can be both good and bad. My girlfriend has a month off so I think I'll begin to see her a little more while I can.
Now that I think about it I can't take all of the credit for the upgrade. My girlfriend helped me out a ton on a day when we were supposed to spend the whole day together. I tricked her into doing some work for me not thinking that it'd take almost double the time to get things done. Without her help I'd probably still be at work trying to pull this crap off so I'm very greatful. I have something planned as a “thank you” but I won't spoil that because I know she'll probably read this.
One word sums up what I'm feeling right now: Yay
