Too many tweets! Please wait a moment and try again.


Maybe they should cut the tweet size down from 140 characters, or get a few more servers?

It is a bit frustrating…

We have a winnah!

Whew! That was a lot of work. I will have more to say about this project later, but for now, I’ll just relax and enjoy the feeling of having accomplished a worthwhile goal slightly ahead of schedule.

Now I’m on the hook to do the NaNoWriMo in November, where you write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. Check out NaNoWriMo.org

Ok, I’ll be less available the month of June because I’m writing a 20,000 word screenplay in less than 30 days.

This will of course require daily action, writing at least 667 words per day.

I’m up to over 3400, so I’m almost a day ahead of schedule so far.

Wish me luck.

Software development projects are difficult to accurately schedule up front, because there are too many unknowns, and every software development project is different. But, over time, you can iterate to a more detailed plan as more is known. This article gives some good advice for planning a software development project.

I just gave you the rough formula for Wize’s scoring algorithm. Take a look for yourself and see what I mean.
