O, the joys of being busy. ~sigh~ Midterms are at it again, along with a myriad of other projects (designing wedding invitations for an old roommate, deadlines at work, etc. etc. etc.), and so not much is happening right now. Three more weeks and school is over. But waiting for good conditions is a bad idea, because in all reality, do good conditions ever really come? No. If it’s going to happen, it’s got to happen in spite of everything else that’s going on. I’ll have to manage my free time better. Since I haven’t fixed my laptop yet, I’ll try to do most of my designing and mental work at home, where all I’ll need is pen and paper. And then when I’m actually up here at work I can do the coding and HTML mockups and the other “real” stuff.

I’ve debated whether I ought to be so open with the inner workings of this project (especially when it’s not so flattering), but I’ll stay true to the original vision: leave this historical record behind of how Beyond came to be. Struggles and victories alike will be written, for I intend this to be a true-to-life tale of how a web app was born. (And since it’s not commercial, there’s no need to worry about trade secrets flying away.)

Yes, development is coming along very slowly, and that bothers me a great deal, but that’s reality when one is doing this on the side (in addition to school and a job). And that’s okay.

Anyway, enough philosophizing — I need to get to study for those midterms so I can take them tomorrow and get back to work on this.
