Nearly as I used to drag my right foot on delivery, you might struggle tomorrow.
Yeah i had the same problem. Once i changed to a more front on delivery stride it helped my inswing and cured the foot drag. Never looked back and now take alot more wickets. Not looking forward to the 1st ball with my bung toe. Its the front landing foot too so unless i cut a hole in the end of my shoes its going to bang a bit.

A few days in Ticky - how you doing? Need a little nip of something to take the edge off?

Doing fine and staying off the alcohol still - have compensated by ordering a lot of booze over the interwebz:D
 
I was just referred to as "a voice of moderation" in a discussion with a friend on FB. I feel proud.

Scope creep is real.

And I hate it.
Have I been living and working in the country for too long? What's scope creep? Can I catch it?

BTW: Below is my office for the past hour or so...doing some paperwork in the outdoors.

In a nutshell, the difference between the top and the bottom picture...

Nice pic but scope creep is actually the opposite. You and the client agree on chickens with the associated budget. Somehow the client now wants turkeys without a change in budget. Seems OK? You agree to that to keep the business and then they decide they want velociraptors. That's scope creep.

You're quite correct, that was actually the closest pic I could find in the limited amount of time I had to Google a response :p

Yep. So the client budget is still chickens but the project is now velociraptors. RW's pic is valid, provided the "brief" is the current incarnation as opposed to the original brief... which you would assume would have originally been based on the budget. Being chickens.

I just hate it when they go somewhere else to get their updated velociraptors for exactly what you would have charged them for anyway... They only associate chickens with u though (but still somehow seem to still want you to provide cheap/free review/amendments/rebuilds of said new velociraptor project none-the-less...)


.... Sorry. Ending my rant........ now.

Scope creep, so much fun.
Customer: I wants it
Me: No. out of scope.
Customer: I really needs it and I wants it!! I will just Die if I don't gets it. OMG
Me: you don't haz the $
Customer::'(:mad:
Me: gets me $ and get it approved
Customer: I will (insert stomping of feet and a raspberry)
Me: how's request going?
Customer: For some inexplicable reason I was rejected
Me: oh noes.....:p

My clients would just do it anyway. Meh, settlement. We can sort that out after we've stuffed around with every single other little detail in the contract/offer first. In fact, let's spend 80hours this week getting something ready based on the premise I have the funds and it's going ahead... I don't... but I'm not telling you that or you won't spend all your time helping to create something which in effect is completely & utterly pointless, useless & unnecessary.... Then, afterwards, because this exercise didn't magically make it all happen as I wanted I'll just flatout refuse to pay you for your hard work... Not my fault I lied & made promises. If you want to sue me that's cool. Get in line...
 
What I do to try to combat this,

I charge you $400 for the first hour and $200 for every hour afterward.

3 hour block minimum,

Each time you call me to make changes I add another 3 hour block to your invoice.

Seems to work fairly well.
