So I’ve got a few inklings as to why my recent activities didn’t raise any kind of excitement at all. Not even a comment. But that’s cool …
- The idea is still not fully-formed. I don’t have a name for what i’m doing yet.
- There was no single idea for people to immediately grasp and say, hey, I like what he’s on about.
- There were about 5 posts in the span of a couple of hours, too hodge-podge.
So I have to resolve the idea behind Sibisy, and all the other projects I will hopefully be doing. Get a name, create some guidelines, have a set format, make a mission statement … stuff like that. I’ll also put up a subdomain of DevDawn to give it a better singlular purpose.
‘Nuff said for the moment.
Hi Stu,
Actually I downloaded the program but have been too busy
to take a look. Also code would be fun to see. You remind
me of the 7DRL (Seven Day RogueLike) comp. on rec.games.roguelike.development…
it is fun sometimes to set limitations and do something fast –
esp if you are doing that procastinating programming.
As for updates – WordPress allows you to save drafts, does
it also allow you to schedule releases? This way one can
get 7 articles ahead and schedule them to release one
a day at the start of the day and ppl come to expect a
new article any day they sign on – a good blog approach
I think that allows you to also go on holidays!
Of course one can prioritise a new exciting post to the
top of the schedule one would hope some feature would
allow this to be done and automatically shuffle the rest
back (rather than manually setting dates).
I get an RSS feed inside Thunderbird of devdawn so I
get any post within 10 minutes of it being up there
Regards,
AdamR

Adam,
nice thinking … i really like that scheduled releases idea. Wouldn’t be too hard to program into php and mysql … nice. And the prioritising and shuffling of posts.
Very nice.

Oh and I guess look at the app not the code since no hand code
was used!
Also your polls aren’t very complete – I would add
“ignore it”
“all of the above”
“sell it for one milllllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiioooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnn dollars”
I find the best polls on the net are the
buttonmen polls!

Oh and the bandwidth on the site seems diminished – a slow web experience
will turn ppl away…
