Productive couple days

Did I mention in the last post that when it says "3.) Quit and take a job at FriendFeed", I nearly did just that. Was thinking about e-mailing Paul Buchheit and asking if he's still hiring, but instead I sent out the e-mail that's mentioned in the last post. Then I talked it over with my parents all Monday, and decided I'll stick with it a bit longer. It helped that the response of both my PlanWorld friends and former cofounders was quite positive.

I've had a productive couple days. Slowly filling in the missing widgets in the editor UI, one by one. Except it's not really one-by-one, since they're reused so heavily that when I finish one, it pops up in many places. Pretty nifty. Still lots and lots of little display bugs - JavaScript programming is really death by Chinese water torture.

Also helps that the weather has been great, so I've been working outside where there are fewer distractions. No more dad telling me how war with Taiwan is imminent and we're all going to die. I always seem to get more done in the spring anyway...in college, my spring semester grades were noticeably better than the fall semester ones.

This is what you gotta realize.
If what you have isn't working then try something else. You could have made great headway if you had used Director to simulate what you were trying to do and then make it something else or just make it in Director.

Most startups fail. I'm on my 4th now and I learn something from each failure.
