In all projects I’ve done, I always hated doing the administrator’s forms. And it’s all I’m doing these days for MagnaCRM.
I really would have left it as one of my last tasks, but I got fed-up having to manually edit the DB each time I wanted to make a change. So I pushed the relevant to-do items at the top of my list. Basically it’s user management (add / edit / disable / enable users), look-up tables (again add /edit / disable / enable records) and application wide settings.
Well they’ll be finished at some point and I’ll move again to more interesting things!
There’s nothing worse than those. I’m actually starting to work on some customer admin stuff I need for UserScape next week. I’m going to try it in rails. Hopefully that will cut down on how long those admin pages take.

Oh yes, back-office stuff can be worse than administration stuff ;-) I don’t know if Rails will cut the time needed but it should certainly make the task more fun!

At least it will be something new to learn. Not that I really have time for that, but I have some product ideas for Ruby/Rails so I figure I’ll kill two birds with one stone and check it out.
