I set a goal of getting the file access working within FlashStickies by the end of this evening. As usual, I had high hopes, but a certain series of events changed the way my time was consumed.
I spent the remainder of Wednesday night, after making the FlashStickies announcement, reading more of A Prayer for Owen Meany, by John Irving. My day Thursday was filled with work and socializing (gasp!).
Friday, today, I came home from work with the second worst headache I've had in the last few months. I wouldn't label it as a migraine, but I don't get headaches often. Thus, being that I've had two headaches in the last few months, and being that one WAS migraine... the one I had this evening defaults to "second-worst," making it sound entirely worse than it actually was.
Anyway, it put me in no mood for programming. In fact... I came home, slept for 3 hours, ate dinner, and finished the aforementioned book. Therefore no where in the past few days was there any time for extracurricular Flash development.
This weekend looks out of the question as well. My girlfriend and I live ~100 miles apart, and we only get together on weekends. Needless to say, I won't be doing any programming.
Sunday afternoon, a friend of mine is taking me biking somewhere in Jim Thorpe. Jim Thorpe is a coal miner's town in North Eastern Pennsylvania named after the Olympic Gold Medalist. It's a very amazing scenic town, with interesting sights.. oh, alright, enough linking.
I'll be taking my digital camera along, and maybe.. just maybe.. I'll put up a little photo gallery when I get back.
So, basically, you can probably expect FlashStickies to have a 1.0 release sometime next week. I feel that I've let everyone down by announcing a download link tonight, and that will motivate me to get it done sooner.... but as the title states, sometimes life gets in the way of programming....
... and that's not always a bad thing.
