It's been six months since I started this project.
Just under two years after I first came up with the idea.
It's weird to think of time as something that happens,
to think of code as something that evolves. And it may
be obvious to recognize that code is not organic, that
it changes only in discrete steps as dictated by some
intelligence's urging, but coupled with a faulty and
mortal memory, its gradual slopes are indistinguishable
from autonomy.
Hopefully, this project is going to launch soon. It
looks like there's actually a chance that this will
be able to happen.
The proximity of its launch has kind of been my own little
perpetual delusion. During the hackathon, I announced that
it would be released in two weeks time.
When winter break rolled by, I had determined to finish
and release before the end of the year 2013.
This deadline rolled further way, to the end of January
term, IAP as it is known. But like all the artificial
dates set earlier, it too folded against the tides of
procrastination.
I'll spare you February and March, but they too simply
happened with a modicum of dread. This brings us to the
present day, which hopefully will have the good luck to
be spared from the fate of its predecessors.
After all, it is the gaseous vaporware that burns.
