Is This An Update?

I’m getting busy with so much stuff with FeedSt. As last post would suggest, I’m still very much stuck in the “process” phase. I feel like after I’m out of this swamp, I will actually be able to write something decent.

While that’s happening, I’m seeing how frustrated I am with Google Reader in general. I’m seeing why I wanted to do this project in the first place every time I open up Reader. I’m seeing features I want to implement left and right. The question is what is the most important… and what would make someone use FeedSt over Google’s fine RSS reader in the first place?

But, in any case, 10 days remain. I have no clue what that means, because I truly am my own project manager on this one… is 10.10 the day of the closed testing? Is that when I actually start coding?

Blog Posts

After pretty much loving MarsEdit, I have continued the long tradition of creating blank drafts of post ideas; I would just jot down the title, copy and paste a couple links here and write a couple paragraphs there. This is getting to the point where I may have to do a flush of random bits and pieces of posts and start over again.

There’s this post on where I want to take the blog… again. But this time, it’s another retrospective on how far I’ve come. I’ve still got that Ecto vs MarsEdit review (guess who won that one). Confluence… I’m still vexed enough at the code to want to write on it. Holy crap, the ION Drum Rocker… maybe after I get my 3rd cymbal? (No, I haven’t ordered it… yet.) “14.2857% Time”, “The Wart”, “How Braid Changed My Life”, blah blah blah.

So yes, will these get posted? Maybe when I find the FeedSt thing to be boring, I’ll go back to blogging. The reason why I’m blogging tonight is because of what happened with… yeah, if you read the post before this one, you’ll see why I’m trying to take my mind off of stuff.

3 Weeks Remain

The long four day weekend was mostly spent on one of two things: Rock Band 2 and setting up for projects. And the Rock Band 2 stopped as soon as I completed the game in solo guitar mode. And no, I didn’t count the Endless Setlist… unless I can get 3 other kids to go all out for hours and hours on end.

This weekend was a blur. I don’t remember much of it. A lot of late night talks with Dean didn’t help the project progress, but was beneficial. As a sidenote, he’s my third impromptu roommate after I started living solo (I guess I should count that Jong-Sun kid, because he was over constantly, so four).

Moving on, I’m hoping to get the whole development environments set up tonight. It seems like my forearms aren’t even happy about my typing this entry. We’ll see if I’ll sleep happy or not.

Summary Of Said Weekend

I have these artifacts as evidence to the caffeinated stupor I was in.

The Six Cans of the Apocalypse

Remember, the green one’s the most tasty.

But yeah, working ’til the week hours of the night/morning, I popped on the sysadmin hat and rocked out. Finally after having installed MediaWiki (it’s a little slow, I need something faster… any suggestions?), I started to document the insanity.

I bought a new”er” slice at slicehost. I love how close to the metal all of the insanity is. I finally got to see how Derek worked his magic during the days of StatusFix… er… more like I copied and pasted commands, all the while man paging everything that went past my eyes. Lots to learn and screw up on so that I’ll learn even more.

Still need to work on Capistrano deployment from the git repository. Hoping to get this done tonight. Still not sure where I should be developing… should I be using my computer for both dev and test? Hmm.

Lots to chew this week. But indeed, only three weeks remain.

iTunes 8 And The Genius Of The Genius Playlists

It’s weird. I’ve been trying to get iTunes 8 through Software Update, but the update never showed up today. So I decided to visit the main site itself, and lo and behold:

Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes

Sidebar on Genius playlists: Genius. And, another great example of how features don’t make a company. There goes a couple online startups’ business model. I’m left to wonder, though, where the heck is the Apple social networking app that I’ve been waiting (and thinking about creating)? MobileMe definitely ain’t cutting it yet.

Facebook Interface Update: Doesn’t look good…

At first, I thought my browser wasn’t fully rendering the page.

Then I realized… wow, they’re not kidding. This is an update.

Things are broken all over the place, especially the external Facebook applications.

Looks like they’re fixing things live… what’s the deal, Facebook… you’re dropping the ball.

EDIT: Looks like I should have taken a screenshot when I had the chance. Darn.
