I always keep a few sticky notes on my desktop to remind me about the realities of the (seemingly endless) tasks at hand:

The Six Stages Of A Project
1. Enthusiasm (This project rocks!)
2. Disillusionment  (This project blows chunks!)
3. Panic (How is this my fault?!)
4. Search for the Guilty (Run Away!  Run Away!)
5. Punishment of the Innocent (Blame the new hires!)
6. Rewards for the Non-Participants (Can you say MIP?)
The Five Rules Of Plumbing
1. Hot on the left
2. Cold on the right
3. Waste flows downhill
4. When in doubt, add a vent
5. Payday is on Friday

Happy Tuesday

In case you may have missed it, all the major updates on our website were done on Christmas Eve.  After this last bit of work, the fun goes on, but the work stops.

Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Season’s Greetings, and Happy New Year To All.

May we put 2009 behind us as quickly as possible, finding peace, accomplishment, and resuscitated profits in 2010; it’s been a pretty brutal year.

Welcome to the Nonlinear Ideas Inc. blog pages.

These pages are created as a complement to our forums.  The intent of these pages is to let our readers (or maybe just reader…does anybody actually read a blog from a software company?) know about our products.  We’d love to talk about politics, religion, how if we were “in charge” the world would be a better place, etc., but really, we’re only qualified to talk about software, and mostly only about our software for that matter.

We’ll talk about the stuff we’ve created, the stuff we’re thinking about creating; let’s face it now, this may not be the most exciting blog you’re going to read.  We may have to throw in some “highly controversial” comments about games we’ve played just to keep it interesting (but probably only for people who have also played those games, and probably only if they think we could add anything to the thousands of other blogs out there, so this may not exactly be a rousing call to action for you either).  Or some racy pictures of us in compromising positions (which will be much less interesting than how we got into the positions in the first place).  You like middle-aged gym-averse nerds in leather….right?

Enjoy The Ride.
