Focus

April 23rd, 2006

I completely understand where Adam is coming from, but first and foremost, soeren says is about my life. It’s not a poor man’s Daring Fireball: it’s much closer to your average LiveJournal blog, but hopefully a little better in overall intellect, quality and interestingness. It’s my life, and right now, working on Septuple-C occupies my life.

As I stated yesterday in an e-mail to a dear friend of mine, Septuple-C has been giving me the sense of achievement a lot, and that’s a very important feeling. Almost everything else is secondary.

That’s why most posts recently have been about that. It’s not that I’ve been deliberately neglecting everything else (that’s the negative way of looking at it); no, it’s that I’ve been focusing on this (that’s the positive way).

I hope that’s understandable.

On a completely unrelated note, NetNewsWire now uses a different, NewsGator-integrated registration mechanism, but still doesn’t offer PayPal. An unfortunate oversight.

I’ve enjoyed reading your posts about Septuple-C. It’s encouraged me to get working on my own Ruby projects (although I’m sooo busy with the last month of school and graduating sigh), and it’s encouraging to read about your developments with the cross platform stuff. I am hoping to get some of my stuff to run cross-platform, so your info is very helpful.

And I agree, this blog is about your life and what currently is your focus. If I kept a blog more regularly, I’d hope it be something a lot like yours (but about my life ).

So, anyways, I don’t mind the current diversion focused on Septuple-C.

Even though I don’t program and don’t know if I’ll ever learn (although I am interested in someday learning), I’m enjoying the posts, trying to understand as much of them as I can. And you write them well enough that I can understand a lot of it. So if even the non-techie people like them, go for it. And I’m glad you’re so enthused.

Feel free to ask questions about things you don’t understand (or aren’t sure you understand).

And thanks for the compliments.

Your Own Thoughts

I'd love to hear your input. Just try to stick to a few rules:

Please, think before you post. It's not a chatroom — you have plenty of time to avoid gratuitous abbreviations (no "u" for "you", please) and to proofread. Everyone benefits from comments which have had an extra minute of thinking.
Though I virtually never delete a comment, I do reserve the right to do so for ones I deem irrelevant, unthoughtful, as trolling or as flaming, or otherwise hostile.
Unfortunately, you cannot currently edit. When necessary, do feel free to double-post; I will merge your posts together, and correct mistakes for you if you so wish.
Likewise, you cannot delete. You can, however, ask me to do it by contacting me. Please only do so if truly necessary.
I reserve the right not to approve comments with bogus names or e-mail addresses, but will typically leave them published as well.

Before you comment for the first time (or, after you have deleted cookies), you will have to answer a little challenge to prove that you are not a spammer.

Comments are written in Markdown.
