A New Stupid Online Function Coming Soon
I’m creating a stupid, waste-of-time online program that I know will get me slashdotted and blow my lowly server up. I’m going to start beta-testing it within the next week, and then maybe another week after that I’ll make it public. Look out internet!
Stay tuned!
Now what could that program be? Sounds like an innovative idea, and I’m not very good at those :)
I’d love to be in the beta, BTW ;-)
This is SO stupid only geeks may like it, and then they’ll think “Man, that IS stupid AND useless. Why didn’t I think of it?”
I’m looking forward to beta testing it. I’ll smash it good!!!
The suspense is killing me. Jody, please give us a hint!
I’ve got people asking me to be beta-testers and I’ve given no description of the project. This is weird.
When it’s ready for beta-testing, I’ll email those interested or whom I think would be interested, and then I’ll send them the URL and login/password that will be required (just for the testing).
omg let me play too!!
> please give us a hint!
It’s not a game. It won’t use Flash. It’s silly. It’s useless. It’s dumb. It may be unique, according to my research, which is VERY surprising.
Update: I discovered today that my idea isn’t so unique. Yes, it’s been done before. Bummer. Well, I’m going to finish it anyway. Mine will be better. Yeah! Yeah.
Awww.. Damn. I haven’t heard about another one that does it, so I figured you really would be slashdotted to hell and back.
Update: I’ve finished designing everything on paper, so I now started coding it, writing the backend code. The hardest part was coming up with a nice interface, but that’s what the beta-testing is for. I’m going away this weekend so I don’t think it’ll be ready for testing until next week, if then.
Beta testing has started.
