I had this idea for a band...

So, the software model of yore is just that. The one where you go to the mall and buy a box with a disk inside of it. Do you remember doing that? I do. I actually remember it more clearly than going to the music store, but that's probably a figment of where I'm at right now in terms of my interests. I digress, within five sentences...

Well, it has been quite some time, hasn't it? So much has changed! So much is still the same! Where to begin? I've once again written this post in my head so many times that I don't know where to start. How about the first thing that jumps to mind?

I have only one regret...

And that's that I didn't start programming when it first occurred to me that I should. I'd be at least four years further along. Sigh...

A brief list of the things I've been working on.

The front burner:

Speechless.

I appreciate that you've stopped by. I unfortunately have nothing to say about anything. I feel like I should be giving some sort of summation on the last 7 years in a band, but I don't have anywhere near the perspective to do so yet. I also don't feel like just blathering about technology (again) yet, as I don't feel like I have the guns to be espousing my viewpoints on that either.

This blog might be a little static for a little while.

What I'm doing in the meantime is rewriting JohnnyGrubb.com as a Rails app. This will be my first Rails app from scratch. The Posts model (system) is pretty much done, and I, and only I, can blog away all I want. The trick is the comments model. I've got a commenting system in place, but what it needs is the simple little email verification and website linking tricks that all blogs have. I've got the database set up to receive the info, and display the info, but verifying that email addresses are in the correct format and setting the commenter's name to link to their website, if they put that in, is a bit more of a trick. when I get it figured out, you'll know.

Maybe ten years is too long a period of time to plan for. So how about seven?

Seven years from now, what will you have to show for what you're doing right now?

If your answer is, "not much," perhaps you should consider a new plan, one that might generate a different answer, or, at the very least, be a more fun way to waste seven years.
