YRbk Meeting 4

These meetings are continually getting longer, harder and weirder. The Interdis. course just seem to bring more and more different people to each meeting, which is annoying because we end up ging backwards rather than forwards, and we have to explain every little design decision so far again. Plus, this time, the new tutor guy who was there kept asking us to do this and that and change bits that we'd already discussed and agreed on in previous meetings. And we keep having to go 'Er, no, that's already been decided'.

There was one thing I didnt quite get at first, which was actually quite funny, and then quite annoying. The new tutor (I forget his name) kept saying "some of our students do typography, can they add some titles and things on their profiles?" to which I said "sure why not" thinking he meant within the profile block can they separate a bit out as a title of sorts. What Adam and Luke told me after he really meant was for them to do all the titles and type themselves in their own way! So I was going "yeah yeah no worries" and Adams sat opposite me going "well no not really". It was funny at the time, but afterwards it annoyed me.

Anyhow here's a copy of our meeting notes we emailed after the meeting:
