Two Crazy Weeks
Jul. 20th, 2012 11:38 pmMan, it has been two crazy weeks.
The big stressor has been that Chris has been pushing hard on his Infinite Canvas project, because programmer Kalle is in town, and Chris wants to get the app actually released while he's around. So, I've had two weeks at work that were very interrupt-driven, with lots of QA when new ad hoc releases appeared and lots of documentation as requests came in and some interface/UI discussion beyond. Some of those docs exposed bugs which required more QA and/or waiting for fixes. Whew!
Meanwhile, I was trying to work on my own Skotos product, which is a variant of our Modern Art Card Game for iOS called Masters Gallery. This mostly just requires changing out the art assets, but I have to create the new art assets, and it's also required some programming support, has exposed some of my own bugs, etc. And, y'know, I've been fitting it in whenever I have 30 or 60 minutes free.
Meanwhile, in the real world, Kimberly & I have been finishing up the final work on a refinance on the house that we got rolling way back in March, just after we got back from Hawaii. At the time, we'd hope we could jump on board one of President Obama's programs for an easy refi — but it turned out we weren't eligible as we'd previously done another refi too recently. We opted to try and work through it anyway, even though we'd failed on a refi a couple of years ago due to what I believe was lender dishonesty that really disillusioned me. Last Friday we ended up signing all our final papers, with the refi supposed to close this week.
So ...
Good news is that the craziness is mostly over.
I've finished up on the Infinite Canvas docs I signed up for, and in any case Chris & Kalle are now at iphone-dev-camp. It looks like they're really close on a full release, and the Infinite Canvas development software for users looks quite good.
Masters Gallery is still in progress, but I have until the 31st and I got enough work done in little bits and bobs over the last two weeks that it all looks doable.
The refi was funded on Thursday and theoretically recorded today, so I'm pretty sure we're done there.
The last weeks were such a blur that I was shocked when I looked at my Berkeley Library Record yesterday and saw that two of my books were due today. I've since returned one and renewed the other, but my having a book out until the last day just about never happens ... except, I guess when there's just too much going on.
