So I’m in the middle of a terrible housing crunch, where I’m trying my damnedest to find an apartment, and realizing that I’m not going to quite make June 1…what a mess.
So needless to say, I haven’t been blogging like I should.
But! In the world of couch-surfing which I am starting to enter, ‘nomadic computing’ lifestyles start to appeal. And what does that remind you of, eh?! Why, good ole’ NetServ or AppsLink or ShitThing or whatever the hell I last called it.
That plus a strong ‘disconnected mode’ piece as discussed elsewhere in this blog sounds intriguing, eh?
Or, I could just buy myself an iBook and be done with it. Which might be easier 
The thing which makes me think about this, still, to this day, is that I’ve seen some – very few mind you, but some – applications which actually are better as web applications than as conventional ones. Just some, and just rarely. But it gets you to thinking – from an IT standpoint, web applications are infinitely superior – that we already know. But if from a usability and flexibility and power standpoint, if they are getting this good, then maybe _all_ development will be web applications? Who knows.
Having a way to make all of these nifty apps all be usable in concert with eachother certainly sounds nice…but, jeez, I can’t go and make the same goddamned thing again. ARGH.
C’mon – I mean really! Who writes the same stupid piece of software _over_and_over_again. Retards like me who are waiting for the Dryer to finish, that’s who. People who think their last pass at that windmill went badly just because of a particular patch of uneven ground, and that the next one will be better.
Well, hopefully this is simply exhaustion talking, and nomadicness (nomadicity?). I don’t have the strength to try and do the same thing again – at least, not without getting developers to sign up, first. Dammit.
