call me... ClutterMe

Updates on the project:

My eyes burn from code. My ears ooze javascript. I'm one with my server.

Alex has been trying to get a nice log-in background for what seems like two days now. I'm not sure who is going to win, him or the application error codes that keep popping up like an old pimple before the prom. Leslie knows all about that.

We have contacted our logo expert, Peter Frost, and our new logo will be ready by Sunday.

Why are we getting a new logo? It's because we are changing the domain. That's right, hahagreat is no longer. We will now be known as clutterme.com. It's cute, relatively short, and relates to the site- something hahagreat didn't do.

Hahagreat will still redirect to our site, for now. In the future we might think of selling it, or making our next app with it. We don't see a use for it that does justice to its easy to remember-ness.

missing our girlfriends

So we managed to eat half of Alex's birthday cake in less than two hours.

Not much news today in tech. advancement. Alex is still trying to get version 1.0 done (basic account functionality and sign up). We decided that the best approach would be to do the VERY lethargic and boring actions first.

I (mark) have been completely filling in the nuts and bolts of a releasable site. And we are both really excited. We have some new innovations that will let you talk to your loved ones without .. well, let's not spoil it here.

Peter Frost, our logo expert, has sent us the newest ClutterMe logos. We're quite excited about them.

Today is Alex's last day at my house before he goes back to work for three half days... what a maroon this kid is. In total I'd say I have 30 pages of edited and re-edited word document HLD (high level requirement documents) and Alex has about 30 new pages of code.

As I mentioned before, we have some new ideas and we're REALLY freakin' excited about them. So yes, the weekend was a moderate success. The next couple of days will encompass coding from home. What's on the menu for tonight? Great pun accomplished because it's dinner with Alex's parents.

I think the most important thing we got out of this weekend was DIRECTION. "It's invaluable"- says Alex. We almost have a defined site. The next major step will be to pick out a nice template for our User Accounts page and just keep hacking.

Code Chest Status: 0.1% full.
