Yeah, the blog is kind of a crap show stylistically, to say nothing of the content. I hate blogger. If I wasn't flat broke right now I'd go back to hosting my own Drupal, and I hated running my Drupal blog. For what it's worth the recommended read order is in posting order, not the blog-standard recent-first. At minimum, start with the first article, because that's where the highest-level summary is.
I just finished writing a reply under Red's thread that explains why there's no code; the short version is that I'm losing my damn mind. I want to, my brain just won't cooperate, and it never did. Even when I was working on my BSCS, I was never great at just laying things out and getting to work on them. Either my brain solves the problem in two minutes and I spend hour transcribing it, or my brain is a whiny baby who refuses to eat their peas. I absolutely agree that when you get down to actually working on something, many things become clearer. But I am not sure that I can work on the details while keeping the whole machine in my brain; that's why I want to get it all out of my brain first. Maybe then I'll be able to actually zero in on some of the pieces. I understand the instinct to point me to this or that technology for inspiration or to use for implementation (someone else did something similar the other day), but for right now I'm looking for people to help me corral the tidal wave of cats that is my brain so that I can explain the things that I have already thought of. What would be most helpful is directed questions, even if it's just pointing at some random thing I said and asking, "No, seriously, what are you trying to say here?" And feel free to do that as comments or emails if you don't want to tie up the board here. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T4b6cbcbd1021df9b-M672801582cb652445e0fbf0d Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
