When your muse gives you a horse
Mar. 29th, 2007 06:21 pmVolity got its hooks into me on Tuesday, and has been dragging me down the pavement ever since. The catalyst may have been ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
radiotelescope himself being moved by the spirit last weekend and closing a bunch of our RT tickets. I had also managed to give myself some interesting homework at the last biweekly meeting of the Volity Illuminati: beginning a recruitment campaign for hackerly help with the project, particularly from the Java crowd for Gamut's sake.
When it happened that this had a lot of unmet prerequisites, I went a little crazy and did them all, heedless of the fact that this took two days - in one case staying up until 2am making code repairs (while catching up on Lost in a background window). Boy it's been a while since I've been moved to do that.
Today I finally started posting a want ad around, starting with Sourceforge, in a "help wanted" forum that seems to be half-populated by confused people wanting help in running programs or opening files or downloading porn. But whatever, it's a start. Where else should I post?
I have barely done any billable ITA work this week, and Gameshelf #6 production has gotten behind schedule too. But criminy, for weeks I have pining for Volity inspiration - more than one of you have been good friends as I bent your ear about it in-person - and it came. That it did not come meekly does not seem to be something I should really complain about.
Just as well, though: I have less than two weeks to put together an attractive hacker-level slideshow about Volity. Holy smokes. I gotta get on that.
