hopefully i can actually do a little better than monthly, but as long as i’m in austin, i find it highly unlikely that i’ll remember to do it more often.
A lot has happened since the last post. The most exciting would probably have to be the Rose Bowl. But the most important has to be the soon to be incorporated McLaine and Lopez LLC. Before anybody questions whether i can in fact spell my own name, it’s a combination of my last name and Sam Laine’s. Sam’s got some guy who’s going to make a logo that accentuates that fact. Since no combination of Laine, Lopez and McLain sounded good.
Sam is meeting with our first potential client on Wednesday, so Al and i are scrambling to make it so we’re actually selling them something other than an idea. At this moment that consists of throwing open source software at the problem and trying to hack quick customizations together that actually make a blog engine behave like a multi-user grassroots campaign organizer.
School starts on Tuesday. Ugh. I’ve completely redone my schedule, only one class from before still remains on the list.
Here’s the new layout. The classes are mostly chosen in the hopes to avoid large coding projects, since that would interfere with the large coding projects for the business. But since i’m in two majors that are supposed to at least mildly prepare me for large codinig projects, i didn’t have too many options.
Sprititually, i feel better than i have in a while. Instead of going on Passion, i stayed in Austin and had an in apartment retreat. I’ve never been particularly good at solitude (that’s a shock, i know) but now i’m grounded in a way that simply wasn’t the case before. The semester ahead excites me a lot. It could go in so many directions, but i’m confident that no matter what ends up happening, the only thing that will matter is my relationship with God, and that that will be enough.
