Thanks for the suggestion. My first instinct is indeed to run for the hills :)

I'm watching the video and the first point is that you should fire the graphic designer :P (I suspect there isn't any, if a programmer did it, at least the screens are very clear - heck, maybe a graphics designer would murk it).

PD: after watching the video it's very clear that it's not what I need at all, but thanks for the suggestion.

Greenspun's rule is something I'm painfully aware of (the main enterprise app I work with has an ad-hoc implementation of... assembler :P ), but thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for the update, and for giving it a chance. I agree that the production values are pretty bad...

Good luck in your search. I've never heard of an ad-hoc implementation of assembly language before, but while we're talking about wanting to head for the hills... :)

Heh.. you don't say... it's built with Sun ONE's UDS FORTE development environment (on a language called TOOL), which stopped being supported years ago.

Fortunately I don't maintain that one very much, but yes, it's "run-for-the-hills" worthy - sadly, the current job offers job security and pays above average for my country.

I'm keeping an eye open, but I haven't found an adequate niche for me yet - my skills don't translate well to a remote environment, I'll probably try my hand at consulting.
