Going full steam ahead on a grey, rainy day is really tough, eventhough I should be used to

it here in Boston, where it is overcast from about now till the end of February.  Today after

wrapping up the integration of the chat engine and the UI, I'll begin integrating the data engine

with the UI. 

Btw, anyone know any good UI designers? From a functional aspect the UI flows pretty good

and is logical. On the other-hand as the Mrs. says it needs some color and pizazz.  The plan is to finish

all the coding with the current UI, and to re-skin it towards the end of the development phase.

Every developer has that conflict between usability/functionality, and appeal.  Ideally you shouldn't

have to sacrifice one for the other.
