Depressing, Good News

LightFrame is gaining a year sometime around now. I have just a smidgen of a problem: I honestly don't know exactly when. The first blog post was entered in February earlier this year, and I had already done stuff for LF at that time, so that's an end limit to the guesstimate. I got turned down from a job¹ the 23:th of November last year, so I'm guessing from the beginning of December to the end of January. It might actually be during the Christmas holidays when I first started doing stuff... Nah, I'll just decide that LightFrame turns one at 1.1.2009, and be done with it. It's easier to remember, too.

But, it's sooo depressing. I've done this project for a whole damn year. At the same time, though, I'm excited in that I have had the patience of keeping the project up for this far, as my earlier projects have been in the lines of about 30 days before total interest-flaccidation. But, still – damn, I'm getting nowhere. An average of just over 15 lines of code per day. OTOH, I've soon written the whole thing twice already, so it might be a whooping 30 LOC/day. *sigh*

All that is going to change, however! While our apartment's construction is still only about 71%² done I have actually launched NetBeans, updated it to the latest nightly build and also written some code! Alas, nothing all the way the repository³, but I'm having a smooth-take-off thing going on; I'm currently having a break from designing something to be easy to use and, boy, does PHP do its best to hinder designing clean code.

PS: Wow. I just read that first blog post. I've really come nowhere!

¹⁾ Which actually acted as a catalyst for starting LightFrame. But it's another story.
²⁾ The added 1% from the last post represents that I assembled my Ikea-desk.
³⁾ I really should start learning how to use Git, correctly.
and am using it.
