Approaching the finish line

I've just put the finishing touches on my Senior Engineering project, which I will be demonstrating to a jury of professors and peers tomorrow. I have been working on the project for the last 12 months. The most productive time period by far was from 2-4am today.

Its unbelievable how much code you can type, ideas you can hatch, and coffee you can drink in that time. For anyone interested, I managed to create a script that produces a Gantt chart using HTML tables, with text based dates in an access database as the source. If that means nothing to you, trust me when I say it was incredibly hard.

Below is a pic of my Chart. That pic also demonstrates the typical aesthetics of my project. I'm pretty happy with the way its turned out. My project is not nearly as technical as some of the others in class, however I believe it has its own merits, was quite difficult to implement, and is also quite practical. I hope I can finish it, and get it put to use at the office this summer.

Wish me luck tomorrow. I hope my App doesn't crash during the presentation is all!
