ACEIZE Tracking the current state of Science and Technology

I can't believe I am still spending my nights working on this web app. Although I have lots of excuses as to why the thing isn't finished yet...Lots and lots of excuses. I have to admit that I am pretty tired of working on it - I really just want to get a functional product out the door and onto the web. There are a lot of other things that I could be doing instead - like getting a full nights sleep, or doing the dishes, laundry, updating my website more than once a week etc, etc, etc.

At this point, though, I have finished the essential CRUD (create, read, update, delete) functionality for the application. While this is a shadow of my originally intended functionality, it brings the application to the point where I can use it to help me finish writing the application! Yeah! Hopefully the rest of the programming will go pretty smoothly - there isn't much more to do except for some fancy sql work and near endless revisioning of the ui. I suppose I could find myself adding some ajax library before I make anything public....In the end adding that will probably make the remaining development time about the same...I should do it sooner rather than later.

I hit a strange road block a few days ago. Using identical queries would return a partial result set after an insert. It was very strange. The web forum I looked to for answers only had snarky geek answers to my question (thanks java forums!). In the end, everything worked fine after I shut down my machine one night. That's an infuriating solution to a problem.

In the future, my biggest roadblock is going to be fighting my desire to cut corners and get the thing finished quickly. Also, trying desperately to fight my 's' key which is being a little touchy lately. I estimate that I have another 16 (24 if I get a hair up my ass) hours before 'Action Jefe' is ready for alpha. Then it's back to the ACEIZE! I promise.
