Just when I thought that I was really, really done.. I spent another weekend in the office, culminating on Sunday, when I worked for 28 hours straight into Monday afternoon. Then back home, and in bed by 9PM !
Am I really done now ? I hope so. Working on the current project has been a painful experience. Too little time, too many things to do, too much mixing of old and new code between programmers with no planning. Woo !
It’s almost 6AM and, I’m clearly awake. Good, perhaps it’s the beginning of a new life. A new life where I wake up early in the morning and calmly shower, dress, read the newspaper in front of a delicious breakfast and finally go to work all dressed with suit and tie ..right ! I actually woke up at 4:38, and tried to force myself in bed. That didn’t work, as I started thinking about simulating the World !
I must stop having those thoughts. They make my heard hurt.. so to speak.
Changing subject.. I finally decided to move back to kazzuya.com from Blogger. The reason is that I had this site here dead and I wanted to use it somehow. Archive what was old and bring a little life back. My web host provider had those “one click installs” which included Wordpress, and I just went for it. Installing was easy, importing articles and comments was a bit more complicated, but it all went well in the end.
The old site was all done by me using PHP and MySQL. I liked the front design, while the backend was rather ..emm.. functional ! However, being web-development really not my field, I don’t have that urge to use my code, so, it didn’t hurt to switch to another system. Something more standard and well diffused. Standard formats are good, they make it for easy backup and distribution.
The new site is not complete. Two things that I had to add immediately were the links to the javakazrace and the PSEmu GPU plug-in. Those are the two main sources of traffic of this site and it would have been an injustice to let the new visitors down (”I came here to get a plug-in and I found a stupid blog !”).
Blog blog blog ! One writes a diary for years and suddenly a new cool word comes out and he’s hip ! .. I think that that’s bullshit. However, it’s good that the concept of writing a diary on the Internet has been mainstreamed. It’s good for people to communicate but in the past, services like Geocities, were a pain as they didn’t clearly define class of contents and visitors’ feedback.
Comes to show that potential means nothing. Most people need to be spoonfed or they won’t have the time or willingness to take the extra steps to achieve something. That fits in my view of the World where people are divided by users and developers (developers !! developers !! developers !!).
