Nope, we don't use Crystal. Converting Deski reports to Webi reports. Most of them aren't too bad, but there's a whole slew of reports set up with SQL data providers that can't go through the converter (which barely works), so they have to be manually rewritten in Webi.

In the whole project, somewhere around ~1000+ reports have to get converted.

Neh, no. Things may be easier/harder on one platform or another (API, libraries, etc), but with enough effort/time/thought you can generally make anything work within reason, that's the beauty of coding, especially Object Oriented.

It likely has to do with so-called "legacy systems". There's probably a lot of existing code in place from when LoL was first being put together that has just always been there. You don't want to fuck with it because everything is teetering on top of it, but it occasionally causes fuck ups anyway, and fixing them causes bugs elsewhere. The solution is to rebuild from the ground up (lol who the FUCK wants to do that) or to go through the painstaking process of dredging through old code (which may or may not be commented at all, and the people that worked on it may not remember any of it or may not even work there anymore) and fixing things while not breaking anything else. And even if you do that, you can't really make anything new, because you can't really be fucking with the bottom part and then add new stuff on top of it at the same time, because that's a great way to fudge even the best CMS.

Coding.

Weeeeeee

My job is actually pretty much spent just doing SAP BO stuff. I came into it with 0 knowledge, and I think I'm doing pretty well with it. I really don't mind it.

I doubt a new client will come until lol2.

which will be interesting because they'll have to transfer everyone's account.

actually you know what would be cool? when lol 2 comes out you can login with you're lol account and you'll have all the IP and RP you spent in lol to spend on lol 2.

edit: anyone gonna see the enders game movie? how are the trailers shaping up?

Okay so this a response from about 6-8 pages back (Read: Ancient History) but I have to chime in and say that Warhammer 40K table top games are very interesting to spectate. I know that the BlueTablePainting channel has some battle reports on Warhammer 40K (And I think some other games, I haven't been there in quite some time though) and they also showcase some of the models that they're currently painting. I think it's neat.

And on that note, I have to say what's even more interesting for me to watch is Dawn of War II replays. I think that's my favorite game to spectate currently. If you want to know what I'm talking about, you can find replays of Dawn of War II here: + Show Spoiler +

Except time and money are always going to be hugely important factors. A bad platform can take longer to implement correctly so when you're under a deadline, it's more likely you have shittier code with a shittier platform.

@JonGalt - gonna go see Ender's Game, likely going to be disappointed, but I have to go see it.

I might check this out. I used to play DoW with my friend. I own DoW2 and have played a couple games, but don't know anyone who plays and never got into it. Also, I'm really bad at RTSs.

Spent all day debugging why my shit didn't work on the new build.
Naturally someone had merged something that broke my feature without testing it, and of course it falls to me to fix it.

Well sure, but that wasn't the question. Platforms can be bottlenecks, but they are (almost) never walls.

In this regard, if they've actually had a staff of people chunking away at a new Air client for the last year and a half or whatever, there's nothing keeping it from being a good client just because it's using Air.

I liked the original DoWs but things started getting rather silly towards the end. Also, the unit cap was so low. I always wanted to just have these giant battle with millions of units in these global battles. But nope, got to be small skirmishes.

Air is fine. Throwing time and money on reworking a client that, in the end, gets the job done simply isn't good business.

Well that's really up to them, then, and how much code they're willing to re-write as opposed to just porting if possible.
