Asbeau: I miss the stats that used to accompany your giveaways. What happened to those?
They got stale/removed and no-one seemed to be bothered that they were gone..
I struggle to maintain interest in non-challenge projects when no-one else seems to care beyond thinking it is a good idea. I can find 20 people who think Idea Y would be really good and useful, but after that initial conversation, I tend to hear nothing (not even asking how the project is going). Seems that people are too polite to harass me,
even if I explicitly ask them to.
pinnounp (my port of innounp to Perl) was a victim of this. I spent hours on end trying to figure out how innounp worked and once I figured it out and it just became "writing the code" rather than "solving the puzzle", I pretty much stopped because of lack of any (visible) external involvement or interest and the fact that I could just use innounp.. (with some other personality-induced hurdles involved too).
As the server that did the draws is currently offline, I may use this to force myself to do the changes to the draw that I've been planning since ~2011 :P
Note: I'm not blaming the people, I'm sure they have better things to do than worry about my random projects/games etc. I should just "get on with it" and make what I want, I just haven't found the key to doing that yet :)
EDIT: Also, if you read through all that off-topic rubbish, award yourself a cookie!
