So finished the project in Site Studio. What a complete waste of time. The users aren't happy and now the system is shared amongst three systems. Stoopid!
I still don't see the value in using Oracle's software on this one. Maybe if I was a person with very little experience building web sites. But even that would be insulting to them. The software is made to provide content - but the consultants that helped set it up - charged us $200K for something that kids could do. (No offense kids).

Dear Diary
Today I am researching. What am I researching? Learning to excel even when tied to a rock and being thrown into the ocean. Yeah, I exaggerate a little, but I swear the crap I have to work with is 6 years old. There are so many cool things out there to build, design and maintain web sites with, and I'm stuck using a BAD notepad. Hell notepad would be better - at least I would know what the hell is happening.
I'm tethered to building a website, versus fixing a website, with Oracraple Site Studio. Hell, even the instructor of the ONE course that exists for this crapware, said he doesn't use it.
I'm getting frustrated... I'll be back.

What does this all mean?
I have been reassigned. I need an attitude adjustment. Everyone else seems happy. Why am I unhappy and discouraged?
I think it is because I will become an integrator, not a developer. I have spent a significant amount of energy, learning a technology, which is STILL very viable. But instead I will have to learn kludges and obsolete software. Things that allow a single company to stay viable, at the cost of my sanity. Oh and the single company isn't mine. Its the third party that sells only to big, stupid companies with CIO's looking to make a big splash (and risk a lot).
Blech. Get HAPPY! Dammit! Get Happy!!!

New Analogy
I've been wanting lemonade for years, I see them bring in a bushel of lemons, but I keep getting handed a glass of pissenade... I'm just wishing I didn't still want some lemonade.
yeah, the ingrediants are all there, but I keep getting handed piss and told its what the users will want.
