Reading Jaz's journal

Bouncing back and forth between programming the framework and doing design drafts on paper for the new Netalive.org, I cannot help but feel overwhelmed by the task ahead of me.

First, I'm beginning to realize how much effort into creating the site in the first place. I have been stacking up layer upon layer of new ideas and changes for years and I can't just do it again in a single week.

So I've decided to put aside all the "would be nice if" features for now and concentrate on the stuff that really matters. One can always put more icing on the cake once it's out of the oven.

Second, the new ideas I'm having are turning out to be a real pain in the ass to implement the right way.

You must know that it's not particularely difficult to write web applications. A well-trained monkey could come up with some kind of message board software in a day (of course providing a sufficient pay of banana plants). However, creating a web application with an uncluttered interface that is easy to use and has pretty looks, well that's where it really shows what you're capable of.

I'm still not sure whether I'll be be able to beat the monkey.

Take your time. Don't do it quick, do it right.

I'm still not sure whether I'll be be able to beat the monkey.

You will.
