Muckhead's Chronicle

To the Bone

If you wonder where I have been lately, I will have to admit I am wondering too. Things have been hectic, involved and very serious. I do know one thing, and that is that life is good, let's just say that I have experienced some life changing things in the past few weeks. The one thing I can say is I have the most understanding, caring; people around me, to consider myself to be just fortunate would be an understatement.

I am stating to see the light at the end of the tunnel as far as the release date of my first product. The SEP people are getting a little bit impatient with me, and I don't blame them. I made some decisions to add some other features (some not realized), and it has cost me more time. The trouble with all of it is making it all look simple and leaving the complexity behind the scene. My target market is not going to figure it out if it isn't easy to use.

I have set a deadline which I know can't be met, with hope that the SEP people will come around and extend it. Otherwise I will be releasing my first product when I have to, rather than when I want to, which doesn't make sense, and could greatly affect initial sales. It is kind of Dilbert like when I think of it, the pointy haired manager is telling me to put the product out, and all I can do is complain to Dogbert when I get home.

With all said and done I really don't care, I have realized recently that things can and will work out. So it is just another grain of sand in a vast desert of issues that come up in life. I will deal with it, I will get through it, and I will look back at it as trivial.

I came across a quote the other day, and forgive me for not being able to reference it properly, but at least I am not taking the credit up front.

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us"
