We're still making friends, and still having no money. I've been harassing people on schedule, with the exception of phoning vendors from Origins who haven't gotten back to us yet. Phoning people to pitch at them makes my skin crawl, even if it's not exactly a cold-call. Despite this, we've still somehow managed to get two review copies of games, which we haven't played yet... ought to get on the ball about those.

Have to make the big F&F mailing before Monday night or the Andys will beat me up.

Sat down with dictator555 about the business plan. Her critiques were in alignment with other, less line-by-line criticism we've received, which is good. I have some pretty solid ideas about how to improve it. The inspiration to actually sit down and do that hasn't really struck yet; been coding instead. Coding good things, and got into a nice forgetting-to-eat fugue state I haven't seen in a while, though I cynically wonder if it's all an avoidance tactic.

I talked with daerr about ITA on Saturday. I stand by my earlier posts about not wanting full-time work but I figure it would behoove me to learn more about my options, and ITA may be the easiest of them: this is a company that has been hoovering up techies like it's 1999, and D is willing to repeat his trick from eight years ago of (probably) getting me into a company if I'm willing to join it.

Harvard and MIT are also likely candidates, given my current spread of contacts and experience, so I should look over them this weekend too.

It's an avoidance tactic. TCB.
