Launched two sites

I'm feeling rather exhausted today, after launching two separate sites.

First I launched a project bought by Yleisradio, Finnish National Broadcasting Company. The site itself is made for an animated TV series Pasila, which seems to be quite funny.

I haven't seen yet any of the episodes (since it hasn't started yet, I reckon), even though I have one of them, because of working for the project.

This project went rather fine until the launch. Due to company policy Yle wanted to have the URL in form www.yle.fi/project/ and they decided to mask the original URL with a frame. Ouch.

The big problem came after launching. The JavaScript/Flash font substitution I was asked to use didn't work with Mozilla Firefox due to the frames used. Hacking it to work broke down Internet Explorer 7. Hacking it to work with Firefox ended up breaking the Internet Explorer 6 support.

The original Flash object was executed with SWFObject library. This used some methods Firefox didn't tolerate due to cross domain policy.

I ended up writing three different versions for three different browsers after the launch. I had barely slept for the three previous days due to a trip to Sweden, so I was pretty exhausted after that.

The second project launched today was our own company site of Protie Oy. This I still needed to finalize with our general manager sitting with me, perfecting the pixels.

I arrived to the office at 09:00 and had my breakfast (yep) at 16:30. After 19:30 I finally headed home. The day wasn't that long, but it was definetly heavy due to the circumstances.

I also had my hands of net.nemein.personnel for our own site. I didn't do it today, but I think it's still worth mentioning that it is possible to sort personnel as you wish and to group them into sub groups. Sorting is handled with Scriptaculous and parsed on PHP level for the categories.

To keep the backwards compatibility I disabled it (at least for the beta releases) as default, so go to the (also updated) component configuration to enable Manually sorted and grouped sorting order.
