Sorry for the lack of updates... I don't like to post news to say "it's not ready yet" >_<

GTD has been working fine actually, but it's something that applies to all your to-dos, not just website projects, so I spent a bit of time on organizing my papers, bills, etc.

RtK-wise I have been working ~2hours everyday at least for the last two weeks so it's working

Trinity is delayed because I realized I can no longer continue with the old code base I wrote 2 (3?) years ago when I was learning php and started this site from scratch.

Perhaps because I was doing this on free time, and often in the evenings, I never took the time to write a proper framework for the site.

First there was no real separation of "framework" and "application" (this website). Once I implement a good separation, making a Chinese version of RtK or Trinity will be much easier and much more likely to happen.

Next, I was using "objects" and "models" seemingly randomly... even in Trinity, which is more recent and clearner code than the old RtK stuff, there are sql querries for example directly in the page scripts, because I didn't take the time to create proper "models" for kanji, reviews, flashcards, etc...

It's rather funny I think that I've kind of rediscovered object programming with a big project at work where I wrote ton of Javascript. On that project I realized things got much easier after writing even simple classes. When I was adding new features it was liking blocks falling into place... much easier.

So on the plus side, when this "refactoring" is done, adding features and content to the site will be much easier and faster.

So basically the overall plan now is :

1- finish writing website framework and refactor all existing pages to it

2- smooth-launch Trinity, i.e. make it available to a limited number of users for the first week or two, so I can iron out the bigger problems. This should help me release sooner and handle the initial feedback better.

I just hope it's ready by the middle of May or so. Thats when I start cramming for JLPT, JTest, and Kanken (some summer vacation)

Ah, yeah, I've been reading GTD, but my only problem is lack of a good electronic organizer. My cell phone contract ends in June, so I'm debating between iPhone (meh), some sort of cell/Treo, or just getting a Zaurus when I can scrape the $$ together. For now, it's index cards.

I just realised I could upload what I have and let a (very) limited number of users experiment with it, while I am refactoring.

Right everyone, form an orderly queue behind me... ;-)

I was here first, no shoving.
