I’m putting web apps aside for a while. Rapid progress is fun, but at some point building little toys is just plugging together pre-existing framework bits, and I don’t have a more inspiring target to shoot for to keep it interesting. I spent a few days banging my head, trying to get motivated to finish something and not working on anything else, until I realized that this was my project and I was under no obligation to keep working on it if I wasn’t getting anything out of it.
So, time to move on to something new, still TBD. I’ve wanted to play with Erlang for a while now, if I can come up with an interesting toy or two to motivate it. There are a couple of Javascript hacks that I’m still interested in doing. There’s a board game that I’ve always been interested in translating to the computer, which has lots of fun potential. I figure I’ll take a day or two to think it over and then get rolling; May’s a short month for me and the vacation ends in June.
