This weekend has been spent largely on learning more and more about the joys of iPhone development: Going through this book, hacking away at this Cocoa Twitter engine, and trying out Tweetie (iTMS)/TwitterFon (iTMS) in a more developer mindset.
Being the list-maker that I am, I was a little happy that I finally got the ball rolling this past Wednesday. I was happy with knowing that I was able to act on these deep desires to create.
Around the height of my productivity, at 2 AM, I got angry.
Awesome things happen around and after 2 AM, contrary to “popular belief”.
I was angry at myself for not being able to do this earlier, faster, better… I realized that I maybe it’s because of some ridiculous standards that I set for myself, but it was more than that.
This cool, controlled frustration was exactly what I needed. I ended up taking most of it out on the “Whiteboard of World Domination”, attempting yet again to plan out the new new projects I will begin in the next couple of weeks.
I feel great to be in the high part of my waxing and waning productive cycle. Definitely took a new programming language, framework, and platform to get me started. Let’s see how far I can take it until I become lazy again.
