Three Oh

In the absense of any new development news (there is frantic development, I just can’t talk about it yet) I shall instead prattle on about getting old.

I’m thirty this week (or twenty-ten as I like to delude myself) and overall I’m feeling pretty good about that. The cliche would be to bemoan the ageing process and whimsically muse about regaining one’s youth.

There’s not much point in looking backwards as far as I’m concerned. You can control nearly everything in your life apart from life itself. Days weeks and years pass and there’s little point lamenting on that. I leave behind my twenties and embrace my thirties with my health and my sanity.

If I repeat that enough times, I may even start to believe it.

It’s February 14th

Happy Valentines Day.

If you expect this to be a misanthropic rant on the over-commercialism of another Hallmark-generated holiday, look elsewhere. If you expect a saccharin-sweet message on this day of romance, look elsewhere too. This isn’t an entry about Valentines day, I was just being polite in wishing you a happy one.

Ok, you’ve got me. It’s been over two weeks since my last blog entry and I’ve got nothing interesting to say. I’ve been working on a the “secret” product that I mentioned earlier this year when Josh and I were writing up specificatons for it. Work is now in full swing and we’re expecting it to go into beta early next month if all continues well. It’s something a little different and will certainly be interesting to see how it fares, especially when one considers the cost of the product.

IP.Dynamic continues nicely. We’re about two components short of the first beta which will be released to a closed testing group. I can’t wait to gather the reactions, comments and improvements for my first major application that’s not a bulletin board. It does feel like I’ve been in Groundhog Day mode for the past few years. To date, I’ve written six major revisions for various bulletin board products and I must admit IP.Dynamic has been a welcome project to work on.

That about wraps it up for now. If you’re taking your date out tonight for a romantic meal, I hope it goes well. If you’re single and staying in then I recommend you listen to the “Thirteen Senses” and read Dean Koontz’s “Velocity“; not because they are in any way Valentines day related or deal with lamenting on ones own - they are just recent finds that I’ve enjoyed.
