The title of this post could have been easily Twittered, but I think I might need a couple hundred more characters.

Back in those days, I didn’t care about the hours of sleep I lost, or the retarded Physics classes I skipped. I remember having an incredible desire to put together what was called the “JKmain Journals”.

Now, it could be that I’m looking back on this event with nostalgia, but I truly believe that I haven’t really “innovated” since then in the arena of web applications. More or less, it’s been small improvements on past code or design. Until the day I die, I’ll probably attribute “Journals” as my first true web application project.

Although there was barely any security (heck, I remember using some other project for this since I didn’t want to do it, and there was a huge vulnerability with a bit of domain hacking, which wasn’t the other project’s fault… subdomains…), I learned a lot.

Now that I’m re-embarking on this journey, it’s getting a little trippy. It might be the lack of sleep and abundance of caffeine. Or, it might be that I’m finally feeling like I’m doing something worthwhile again.

Let’s hope that this fire doesn’t die down too quickly. While I believe I haven’t done anything, I believe I have. Having this mixture of states bothers the extremist in me.

I really should go to bed before I do more damage.
