Getting There

I have nearly won. The flash work is nearly done - just need to remove a couple of development marks and add the help system, and I'll be finished. I need to wait for the help text before I can start adding that though, so I'll have some time to catch up on the other work that has been waiting for my attention.

The current plan looks like the rest of this week will be spent creating a new website for a client, and at the weekend I will try to come up with a name for my CMS/framework. 6 years and still no name - this is getting silly. Then I should be able to start work on the framework in earnest next week. Hurrah!

Due to time contraints it looks like I'll be focusing on the UI first, or at least certain elements of it; that way if I run out of time before it's needed (July?) I can always run the new UI on top of my old back-end until the new one is ready, and the majority of users won't notice any change. It'll mean more work in the long run, but I've got to be realistic - I probably can't get the full framework and CMS up and running in three months.

But first, a name. I will start by typing randomly at the keyboard, then I will write a program to generate random human-sounding words. Failing that I will open a dictionary and pick the first word that has an available .com. Yes I am getting a little bit desperate - how can you sell a product that has no name?

Judging by the time it's taking to name the talker, despite all those "helpful" suggestions... :P
