A Little bird at the Daily Star told me that this project (#BDSP as of now) has caused quite the stir in the newspaper's offices, complete with delicious, furious email exchanges between I.T. and everyone else.
Apparently I.T. ended up promising a spanking new website in no more than two to three weeks. Yes, you heard correctly. The website was ready all along, they said. They just needed to dust it off when management gives them the green light.
Taking credit for that would be too self-congratulatory, but I'd like to think that #BDSP in its own way helped focus their attention on the topic.
But that doesn't mean we're stopping work. In fact, we're just getting started. See you with tomorrow's edition.
