budgets

"Je n'ai fait cette lettre-ci plus longue que parce que je n'ai pas eu le loisir de la faire plus courte." Blaise Pascal. I’ve just completed writing a number of Java articles and I’d have to say that the most difficult aspect of completing the assignment was meeting the editors word budget and still manage to say everything that I wanted to say. In every case, I blew the budget. In some cases but whopping 33%. Of course, to delivery with-in budget, you need a time budget which apparently Monsieur Pascal didn’t have.
