Only one post in May?

I only managed to get one post up in May? How is that possible? Silly lazy blogger.

I’ve been jumping around between tons of projects lately, which might be why I haven’t had anything big enough to fully blog about, sending my little updates to twitter instead. Not an excuse, just an observation.

I haven’t finished anything in a long time, and that is starting to grate on me. I have the same to-do list of major projects I had six months ago (including writing a to-do list program!). Instead of completing projects it seems I just add new ones onto the list. That trend ends now though, because the projects I am currently working on are all very important as they might actually bring in some income. Hobby coding, back of the line!

I’m splitting my time pretty evenly between my mortgage software (which is requiring lots of additional features lately) and cooking up the tech for a little MLM startup two of my friends dreamed up. I was extremely reluctant to have anything to do with an MLM (pyramid scheme), but they are doing it in a very legit way that looks like it will actually be pretty cool. If you jump on that particular bandwagon, know you’ll be using my software and website. :D

Next up in the queue is the plasma donation business I’ve been trying to start. This one is a doozy, but I’m making progress — I signed the incorporation papers earlier this week, so all that is left is a bunch of research and putting together a pro forma. Then of course getting funding, cutting through the miles and miles of red tape, and actually getting off the ground. If any of you readers happen to have boatloads of investment capital laying around, you let me know, okay?

Other projects that have made their way up the list are my five open source projects: Tail, Flame, WPMC, CGL, and Chronolapse. Each of these have features or bug fixes requested from users but I haven’t touched any of them in far far too long. Sigh.

Also, if my artist buddy (you know who you are) ever gets un-busy, I’ll be working on Ithilis again someday in the future. You old school Ithilis-ites won’t even recognize it – the new code is very ‘Web 2.0′ with slick n’ snazzy ajax and even, gasp, graphics! I was inspired by ‘Nile Online’ and think it would be a major improvement over the old design. Don’t get your hopes up though, this one won’t even see the light of day for a while.

Other notable mentions:
- dive in movie review
- to do list website (dooeet)
- life achievements
- redo interwebs and putting online, 3 years later
- maybe make an actual video game?
