Our company's website project has finally come to an end.
Programming is done. It now only waits others' tests and review.
It took almost 2 weeks working day and night.
It feels so long.
But, comparing to the past 4 years of Monica's formation,
2 weeks is quite short.
The last 4 years have passed so fast.
I enter this company on 2000.
August 2001, my first company web site, built upon my own ideas, went live.
A couple of months later I found serious problems on my programs there.
And it's almost impossible to fix that.
Then I started to think of writing a brand new content management system from the beginning.
It was just an primitive idea. I had no clue how to make it.
How much time I need? Will it success or fail? I had no idea.
It was too uncertain to tell the boss. I could only do this privately.
To have a seperate development space from our live website,
I named it as "Monica", one of my favorite lovely names.
4 years has passed since then. So many things happened.
In the beginning I had totally no idea to answer when the boss found it and asked me how much time I need,
But now
PHP Monica is running on 5 live large and small scaled web sites,
with its descendant Selima of mod_perl running on 4 live sites.
Now I spent only the last 2 weeks to build the company's web site and its going to go live.
Monica finally reaches its target.
I feel so great.
From now on Monica shall be off the stage.
It shall become a powerful running core like Selima.
I still have a couple of ideas to work with.
All these 26,000 lines of core system and 15,000 lines of web site program
are written by myself line by line, character by character.
Monica is like my own child.
She is my pride.
