We got a new forum! What's the big deal? We moved over from Groups. Sounds like something you'd do with a switch in the URL. I wish it was as simple as that - after more than a month of managing this switch, making sure everyone's doing what they are supposed to do... making sure people are not doing what they are not supposed to do... running in to walls... looking into every little thing that needs to be done .... it was my first taste of managing something from scratch to launch.
Needless to say, yesterday I was like the schoolkid waiting for the exam paper - When I was in school and college, there used to be this inexplicable calm that would descend over me just 5-10 minutes before the exam. I'd close the books, just walk around and relax - that is, irrespective of my state of preparation. Yesterday was something like that - I had done my bit and made sure everyone had their AIs set - but, it was being pushed in PST. So, I'd know the result when I wake up!
And, yes, I woke up before 6am this morning - had a wash, read the Bible, and logged in around 6:30am - what a relief ...and excitement too! To see all the work done open for the world to see :)
I guess this is a kinda rant - I might come back sometime later and edit this - but for now, am resting after those hectic weeks! It is a breather before phase 2 begins... As they say in my team, this one is Christelle's baby... ya, been mine - we've hit the first milestone... soon, we'd be working towards our next steps!
Just for now, I'd look back - and smile... and tell myself, all that's needed is Patience and Perseverence :)
