Two tasks demanded my attention today, the first being the slavish attention required to progress with Askyric, and the second being the Tours4 project.

I took a step back and realised that the latter of these two projects is bigger than I had thought, but definitely not in a bad way. I'm enjoying this kind of work - brochures, flyers and the like are not what I could consider my usual fayre and this is going to be my widest audience reached by print so far in a campaign that looks like it will manifest itself as about 8500 individual pieces of literature. That may not be big by comparison, but as a first major print commission it does me just fine. I spent the afternoon and evening totting up figures amongst other things.

Askyric on the other hand is taking some time. I'm being cautious to produce a watertight system (far more elaborate and modularised than anything I have attempted previously) which of course takes it's toll on the hours, but my knowledge of the intricacies of ASP are being refined.

Aside from work I spent some time engaged in a nonsensical conversation with Emily on MSN and spent the rest of my time after work watching films - so not a particularly healthy break. Tomorrow really is the big push as Monday through Wednesday/Thursday is going throw a spanner in the works, especially since I'm probably going to be taking on some more work, so some headway needs to be made.

I found this today which provided a good distraction...
