You're poking a little fun at yourself, Josh, but at least one person out here wouldn't have had you do things any other way. Get the core tech wrong (or skip it), and everything else is harder to do well. Get the tech right, and give it priority, and everything else flows more smoothly.
Although now I'm wondering what those other two major branches are. Music, maybe, and ... ?
I had a feeling you wouldn't be able to resist growing your own. Heh.[color=#BF0000]JoshParnell[/color] wrote:After digging into the tree for several hours, I once again started to feel annoyed at the inadequacy of my project management tools.

It only seemed natural that I should attempt to put together a quick tool to embody the master planning tree in true, interactive (and hierarchical) format.
Actually, this is exactly the tool I'd like to see exploit the jaw-dropping node editor interface that got so much attention back in Development Update Video #10. To be able to pop into and out of the complex structure of a big project, and to be able to quickly perceive what sections need attention and what their primary dependency is... awesome. Take that, Gantt charts!
Do it.[color=#BF0000]JoshParnell[/color] wrote:I'm also considering a small mini-fridge. You know, to shave some valuable time off of those trips to replenish the Diet Coke
I don't often date myself, but I will in this case: I went to college in 1980 with a mini-fridge. After a detour of a decade to my mom's use, it came back to me... and I'm still using it Right Now. It's right behind me in the Grand Tower, filled with delicious beverages; it's never needed any service or Freon or anything else.
I wish everything I owned was as rock-solid as my mini-fridge has been for so long.
