After 8 very productive hours with my designer today, I have a bit to show. We worked at his house and, in between random banter with his wife and eating some very nice Japanese-style pizza, he banged away at the design of the page and default widget behavior and I got to work on some [...]
A situation that has been really stressing me out recently has resolved itself. Sadly, it did not resolve itself to my benefit, but it is no longer hanging in the air, which means I can get on with life. Unfortunately, as I’m looking at the remaining days on the calendar, it looks impossible to recover [...]
Keith and I just put in a full day’s work on the program. It is shaping up nicely — well, the design at any rate. I spent most of the day fighting old, outdated versions of Capistrano and Deprec to let me get Rails to a deployable state from my Vista workstation to my shiny new 512 [...]
Finally I got a chance to do some programming! I have worked the kinks out of my incredibly edibly basic early proof of concept of the widget functionality and have incorporated it into the live Bingo Card Creator site. You can see the distribution of the proof-of-concept widget at my most popular bingo cards page and [...]
Sadly, I did not get my prototype done today. There were a few reasons — the most glaring is that my limited stock of willingness to debug code on a Sunday was eaten by getting an archaic VBulletin moved from its previous location to one of my VPSes, as a favor to my college buddies. Nice update [...]
I’ve been sadly neglecting my blogging duties (long week) but thanks to some Javascript magic inspired by Lightbox I have managed to solve one of the key challenges for the widget itself, namely, how to make them trivially viral. The key was finding Lightbox Gone Wild, which is like the standard Lightbox used by Bingo [...]
Mike W has banged up a nice chart summarizing who is doing what for the 30 Day Sprint. Check out the bottom of his blog post. (I love it when people do things I was meaning to get to… less time typing means more time…. typing.) On the agenda for tonight: BSG episode, set up local Rails [...]
This was much easier last time, when I was at the job which got out at 4:30 and has a 20 minute commute, rather than the one that got out at 9:00 with the 2 hour commute… While I didn’t get anything done for myself today, I did manage to put some of the finishing touches [...]
After getting out of work at 8 PM (early) and back home at 12 PM (typhoon) I find myself with not an amazing amount of productive energy for today. I sketched out a few interface screens but don’t will probably trash them before I even get to work tomorrow, so there is no reason for [...]
Well, I would like to say that I had a very productive day today, getting down 6 pages of notes, a few hundred lines of code, and 3 great marketing ideas. That didn’t happen. What did happen was I got up late, had breakfast at about 6 PM, and then saw a late showing of [...]
