Why The Procrastination 4

I’ve been waiting to send out notification of my blog going up because it’s not perfect. This is a trait I need to change am changing. In that vein, I’m going to let go of the wait-till-it’s-perfect mentality and send off notification of this place while acknowledging what is yet to be done (for all of the Paul Graham that I read, I should already have the iterative product mentality).

Without further babbling, the to-do list for this blog really only consists of two items at this point (though, I’m certain others will arise quickly): getting an RSS feed working, and getting a sidebar working

As far as other projects, I have a few floating around in my head:
  • Web-based catalog of my CDs (Pete’s been waiting for this one for a while…and the wait will soon be over)
  • Get PARC up to Java 5 compliance and re-weave it with Spring (another one on my list of threats to Pete)
  • Web-based catalog of my DVDs
  • Web-based to-do software
  • Gmail-like email client for the desktop (this is shooting way high, but what the hell, eh?)

Getting this blog up and running is really inspirational to me, and I see myself blowing through these projects (with the probable exception of the email client). The inspiration to finally get this blog running, though, came from Phil, and I can’t think him enough for helping me to make the time to do it.

Anyway, I think I’ve babbled enough for one post—maybe even enough for two!

And Away We Go.... 0

I’ve finally gotten off of my lazy butt and got this site up. It’s not how I want it to look, nor does it function like I would like it to, but it functions. Getting off my ass was step one, and now that I’ve taken that step, it’s all downhill from here.

I am only committing to one post a week at this point, but I expect that to increase as I get better at writing posts.
