Talker and Work

26th October 2005 at 16:01
After TR and honeycomb closed ages ago, I've got out of touch with people. So I've started a quiet talker for us semi-retired spods to idle in peace - anyone interested should contact me for the address. Haven't decided whether it's going to be permanent or not, it depends on how popular it is; if nobody ever logs on, ever, then there's not really much point keeping it going. But it would be nice to have somewhere to keep in touch, so I probably will keep it running. If I do, it will move addresses, which is why I'm not putting a link to it here yet.

I've also been trying hard to think of a name for my cms thing, and failing hard. I want something short and catchy, and with an available domain. But all the good names are either taken by existing projects, sound like other projects, or are swear words in Swahili. Still, as I said to Peter yesterday, it's not like I'll be needing to name it for another year or so :)

Apart from that, the past week has been spent re-writing actionscript classes. I spent over a fortnight developing them originally, and was then told that they would need to do something that I hadn't anticipated (although to be fair I probably should have). Anyway, I had two choices - adapt what I had written, or start again from scratch. I figured adapting would be the better option, but each day for about a week I've tried a different approach and then decided it was bad, and started again the next day. Today though, I think I've done it! Nearly there, then I can start producing some results that I can show people. There's only so much time you can spend telling clients you're working hard on classes and libraries before they start expecting to see something.

Oh and if that was you who rang me when I was in the gym, ring me back, I'll hear the phone ringing now.

I think I need a haircut.
