Hmmm… time slides by so fast sometimes doesn’t it? What have I achieved recently? Not so much. I’ve fixed a few little things here and there, but I can tell I’m definitely at the bottom of the productivity cycle right now. Possibly this log will actually help me get an idea of my patterns. I have so many lines of code generated over so many years of programming, but it is sometimes hard to estimate how much is an unrealistic amount of work to attempt. If I was looking for another project I might attempt to analyze all my old backups and try to work out in reality how many hours I’ve worked on my software, as well as average line of code per day, etc. I have a feeling that the end results would be somewhat shocking. (If I am ever to make money from my software I feel like I have to make at least enough to pay my own "back wages" which is probably no small sum these days)

Something I’m having trouble getting through my thick head is that THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! I am NOT writing software to be used on life-support systems or interplanetary guidance systems. It is just software to be run on ordinary computers (many with weird configurations and even weirder weirder users). I should just release some of the damn stuff and deal with bugs/user frustrations as they occur. Yessir that’s what I’ll do.

As soon as I’ve added just a couple of little things here and there. Eg JujuTool is now about ready to replace the run command, with the ability to run ‘internal’ commands as well as create shortcuts from command lines. Unfortunately the syntax for JujuTool is incredibly inconsistent, so I should probably fix that up… *sigh* It now uses a run history (a list of previous commands) so that certainly makes it a relief to use (the standard run has always had this logical feature)

BookReader has gotten a couple of very minor tweaks, since it is so long since I’ve worked on it seriously I dont want to just dive in until I’m more familiar with it again.
