18 month project is winding down. I suspect it will have 1 use in the next 4 years we are supporting it.

The tool is basically a copy of the S3 browser, only shittier. The license for the S3 browser is only 20 bucks btw.

Stupidly bad project we were rushed relentlessly on, because - stop me if you've heard this one before - some dimwit promised months' worth of work "in a couple weeks... by an intern".

I made it generally known that this whole thing had a snowball's chance in Hell of getting done on time with a 4-5-man team, they did not deign to take that opinion on board. In fact, they pretty much twisted our arm into shipping some barely working bullshit, causing them to have to do a buttload of manual correction instead. I hope they're having fun with that. :>
