What a relief
Today I spent the day (well, 8 hours of it) finishing one of the longest projects I've ever worked on. This was one of those projects that just lingers and takes on a life of it's own. We called it LANout, because at the time it was named (2 years ago), we were doing several other projects called "something"-out.
It's amazing how such an apparently simple project can turn out to be so much work. We were just re-organizing routing within our building network, and adding a new firewall. But that took 6 people nearly 250 man-hours by my calculation. Almost haf of that time was spent planning the project. It only took 8 or so hours to implement, and went well due mostly to all the preparation.
Good to get this out of the way. It had become the project everyone just wanted to get finished, just so we could move on to other things. Finally, we can.
