@marick for software design, the exciting phrase is "it turns out..."
mts: survive watching keira knightley movies by counting how many times she wrinkles her nose.
getting a little coding in before everyone gets up. i didn't work much yesterday, so today's my virtual friday. ah, rationalization
managed to fritter away yesterday. creating markers from test failures today. why am i so afraid of feedback?
if you think project politics are bad, i suggest you try small-town ballet politics: send you screaming back to your sensible, rational phb
working with lifeware this morning--i do love smalltalk. get marker generation going for junitmax later. why is jdt moribund?
got programmatic launching of junit tests working. easier than expected (hardly ever true in eclipse, unless it's trivial). next up: markers
i'm catching java changes, now i'm ready to auto-test. plugin max runner later.
typing in the paper on free and paid software. summary: it's the clash of the principles of service and sustenance. resolution still unknown
drafted a paper on balancing service and sustenance. i'm trying to think about JUnitMax as a business in the current market.

moving junit to svn so we can use google's code review tool
working on junit
ad sense revenue: $0.44. not a path to financial independence. added a link "interested in hiring kent?" a couple of visible places: 1 hit.
i'll be juggling what's free and what i charge for in junitmax today. i want to keep developing junit, but i need income too.
spent the day on sheep muck and bonfires. good for the soul.
finishined a nice, simple tag prototype last night late. making it into a real component would be 20-50x the investment w/ no payoff. sigh.
