GrabaGAFF.com Development Process
(or 'How I stopped worrying and learned to love being rifle butted')
So... there's no website dedicated to finding student accommodation in Ireland eh? Hmmmm... where's that beermat? And the crisps, where are the crisps? And a pen. No not a fountain pen! Ballpoint! Cheers.
And So it begins...
Armed with an idea and a hangover (plus empty crisp packets and a stolen ballpoint pen) Kev began the long and ardous hard grabagaff making journey because building webpages is easy.
Team building
Not being an island (because no man is) Kev created MacroHARD Ireland ('when you think macroHARD, think MACROHARD!) and began rounding up the usual suspects. Soon the company swelled to over 5 billion people, (most of whom were blissfully ignorant of their new found employment) and a golden age befell the planet.
Leading this international economic revival, Kev surrounded himself with a small group of talented action orientated individuals whose loyalty was unquestioned (no-one ever bothered to ask...) - henceforth known as the cronies!
The cronies brought with them vast knowledge and experience in drinking, design, boozing, programming, vomiting, promotion and other big words. The development process had begun.
Blueprints
Using the pilfered ballpoint pen and some of the beermats strewn around his bedroom floor, Kev drew a series of labeled boxes all joined together with squiggly lines. This, he decreed, will be the site-map from which our creation will spring! Then, gesturing like the pharaohs of old, he commanded it be done ... faster!!!
Lego Fun
Airbus Industries fabricate the various sections of their aircraft at factories throughout Europe. They are finally transported to Toulouse in France where the individual parts are assembled into working aircraft. MacroHARD follows the same process, but on a grander scale. Ranging from Dublin City, the capital of that emerald isle, to far flung Clonmel in Co.Tipperary (that's a long way!) the pieces of grabaGAFF are molded by our skilled developers. Until finally, after months of procast work the different elements, so precisely planned, designed and crafted, are fit together to form THIS!
Developer Diaries
Just like Anne Frank, we kept a day to day diary of the trials and tribula, triba things that happened while building this bad boy (its important to note that we made this up after we built the thing like most art students do - you know who you are!!!). The following are listed in order of hatred.
