So I have yet another<\/i> project on the back burner that I’d really love to do, which might both teach me a lot and help me get into some of the higher education programs that have been looking so sweet lately. The challenge: it’s going to take time. And money. And dedication. To pull this one off, I’m going to have to learn a lot<\/i> about programming, and learn it fairly quickly. However, I have a project, which has always been the difference between doing something and staring wistfully at a mountain of books.
\nWow. Flash, ActionScript, XML, XHTML, PHP, MySQL, OPML, AppleScript, possibly even Python, C and\/or Cocoa… So much to learn.<\/i> I feel overwhelmed. The more I contemplate this project, the more I realize that it’s on a grandiose scheme on par with my novels or Inkblots.<\/i> Maybe I should finish up a good half-dozen other projects before even thinking<\/i> about starting this one.
