mythtellerStated in a meeting with the head of development, the tech pubs writer (moi), and the head of marketing:
HoM: So why are we late in delivering this product?
HoD: Part of the problem is because the developers didn't return the review copies of the documentation back to the writer by his deadline.
HoM: Well that's not surprising since just the User's Guide is over 400 pages long! (looks at me meaningfully) We're going to have to find a way to make the user docs shorter so that we can keep to our schedule! (laughs)
Moi (inner monologue): Well maybe if you produced a product that wasn't so convoluted in its design, it wouldn't require over 450 pages to explain it.

Date: 2006-09-28 02:58 pm (UTC)Thanks for the book, and for signing it for me. I have to say that I find it really interesting so far. I've read about half of it so far before bed last night. I really like your stories. Although I wasn't sure what to make of the first one in the book, the one by Dylan. It left me rather confused as to what the point was.. And I was debating about whether or not to mention it but I found a few spelling and grammer errors. I'm sorry if I'm being too honest again..
But overall I really love the book so far. I really enjoy a good story. Does wonders for relaxation. I'll never forget the one about Jack and the tall tales of story-telling with the rabbit cutting down all the wheat.. And the one with the giants was pretty good too.
You'll have to let me know the next time you have a live story-telling. I would love to attend.
