what i’ve done in the last 24 hours..

just finished a bowl of oatmeal. before that i was sleeping, from 730 until 430? yeah pretty much. before that i was at work from 1230 yesterday til 630 this morning, 18 hours straight. some of my co-workers were there too, trying to get some stuff done before a very important presentation this morning, at 10 in new york (7 LA time) which already took place and heard that it went very well.

the whole time i was working on a new design for our player so that it’s uniquely us instead of just a generic player. though i think being generic is important due to the very nature of our service but a branded one makes sense too. so over the 18 hours i played around with my design like a thousand times, going back and forth trying different things, couldn’t make up my mind. normally i don’t have this kind of problem i stick with one design and make decisions along the way and that’s the one you get and you better like it. but once in a while i’ll run into a project where i don’t have a clear vision of what it’s going to be like so i become indecisive. and this is one of those cases. so after hours and hours of agonizing over this, i finally came up with something which i wasn’t completely satisfied but good enough to show and within what time permits. at that point, other co-workers were still working on some functionality that’s more important than the new design and couldn’t get to it before 7. so in another word, i could of gone home had dinner and slept in my own bed, but the design was supposed to be done and i’m glad i finished it, did my part.
