*yawn…so tired…lets make this quick….*
I thought I’d pop back on to the site to let everyone know that I’ve not forgotten the blog.
I’m insanely wrapped up into my side project right now and I’ve been throwing an ungodly amount of time and attention into it. I can’t really say much about it, except to say that we hope to change the face of youth coaching across the country. And we’ll do that with software. Thats the mission statement of sorts and it really does sum up what we hope to accomplish. I’m hoping to see a beta release early summer with a limited group of users and then roll out to production before the fall hockey season kicks off.
Balancing this with a full time job, 2 kids (1 of which starts summer hockey tonight) and a gazillion other hobbies is not easy. And fortunately I’m not alone in my endeavorous activities.
I found that there is a huge community of developers out there, actively pursuing another level of coding and contribution well outside of their normal 40 hour work week. And thanks to twitter, I’m able to talk with them and follow their struggles and achievements on a daily basis.
If you’re not using Twitter, you really are missing out. Its microblogging and in the I.T. world its responsible for bringing together and enabling a very large community of coders to communicate, bond and contribute. Its AA for geeks but in 140 characters or less.
If you do sign up (www.twitter.com), add me at www.twitter.com/danwoolston
As I launch Beta for the side project, I’ll be sure to pop back here to brag about its features and hopefully pick up some feedback along the way.
