Reboot
Yesterday’s second post might have seemed like an odd juxtaposition, especially after I’d spent the past couple days hyping up the fact that Good Secret Things were Happening. Those Things are Still Happening, but they were also accompanied by a particularly difficult revelation.
I have too many open projects.
The Reclamation List was an easy project that was ongoing, but it sapped away money from the Rabbit project; I’m still working on the Netjak project, but I have other (paying) projects that I’m working on as well; I want to write more Metal Rogue, but I also need to send out more letters for Inconsequential– well, scratch that one (more on that later). You see what I mean?
The fact of the matter is, this weekend is an excellent time for me to just re-evaluate what I need to do, what I want to do, and what I should drop. I’ve already started that– the suspension of the Reclamation project was just the first step. I’m going to spend some time this weekend (probably Sunday afternoon or Monday) wrapping up a paying code project (self-assigned, but I think some folks might want it enough to donate). Finally, I’ve done some internal and private work to clean up a few bad habits I have still hanging over me; expect the fruits of that to be visible around December or January.
What it boils down to is that I’m not perfect, and I’m upset that I’m not perfect. Rather than just beat myself up over it (my previous modus operandi), I’m going to actually do something about it.
Catch you folks later.
