It had to do with a third-world charity doctors-without-boarders kind of thing. It was on the front page of that project for too long. Bad enough that we had to work 60+ hours a week on it (without o.t. hehe) but that FACE…

Well, as I recall some of Tommy’s Twain excepts contained variations on the “N” word and that was just freaking bizare, especially considering the client. I about lost it, then immediately told him to cut that shiznit right-the-hell out.

quote:
Those were hot days! Yes! Hot days when it all began! Dinah owned a fixer-upper in the center of town, only two blocks away from my house, only five blocks away from the methadone clinic!

Not necessarily “naughty”, but certainly weird. The photos he threw in there were certainly odd, too… Like that one of the woman with the disfigured face?

I’m doing HTML/Javascript for dozens of these pages, mostly about Black Colleges and African ministries and test data from Huck Finn kept popping up (which the client had access to) and I shouldn’t need to remind anyone how un-PC that novel can be by today’s standards, especially taken out of context, ESPECIALLY taken out of context and placed in to THAT context. To this day I don’t know if he did that on purpose or was just that blind.
