Yesterday I had some serious dental work done, including extracting an impacted wisdom tooth. Ouch! Fortunately my dentist prescribed Tylenol 3 for the pain and after that, I caught up on a lot of sleep. :) I’ll be back working on WebnoteHappy tonight.

Well today is the end of my vacation where I worked on “The Life” full-time. But I’ll go back to my regular schedule of doing “The Life” part-time late at night when my family (and most of the DC area) is asleep. So the big question is: would I want to live “The Life” year-round? …

Ah – you thought perhaps The Life was a 5 day – 40 hour work week? No, not quite. To me, The Life is at least a 6 day week with how ever many hours you can fit each day. I’d say take a day off or at least take it easy one day because …

I’m presenting at the local Mac user group, the Washington Apple Pi tomorrow, actually in about 8 hours. I demoed WebnoteHappy Lite as a brief intermission during a presentation on Macworld that I gave three weeks back at the Tysons Corner Apple Store. This time, I’m going to demo WebnoteHappy Lite as well as the …

A word to the wise: Caffeine and adrenaline does not equal sleep. Today I was crashing because I’ve been running so hard the past four days. Add to that the excitement and camaraderie of the local Mac Programmer group last night. But I’ve been averaging probably 5 hours of sleep a night when I usually …

As WebnoteHappy nears completion, the enormity of Mac Indie-ness starts becoming clearer. Like I said earlier, it’s not just about the programming.

Timely – Kathy Sierra has a nice blog entry about iPods increasing performance. I treat my PowerBook like a big iPod since it is usually on my lap when I’m programming. I noticed tonight that before the ice skating competition that the Gold medal winner, Shizuka Arakawa of Japan, was warming up with some big …

WebnoteHappy is not just WebnoteHappy Lite that you can pay for. No, there’s lots of additional functionality that makes it easier for you to organize and then find your webnotes, among other things that will hopefully make your life easier and more fun when it comes to dealing with enhanced bookmarks or what I call …

4:19AM – I really should be getting to bed. But first, a quick blog entry. I feel like Doogie Howser. I released two private beta builds today. Three beta testers joined in the past two days. Private betas can be hard to manage. They don’t teach that kind of thing in undergraduate Computer Science. But …

It’s fitting that just after Apple sold its billionth song via the iTunes Music Store that I write about music. By the way, that was billion with a “B”. Amazing! Oh yes… music. I find that I program way better when I’ve got my Sennheiser HD280 Pro’s plugged into my PowerBook. (Hmm there’s that “Pro” …
