One day of inaction
I started out trying to create the site with Expression Engine. Then I hit some bumps in the road. I couldn’t figure out how to create pages, so I dug around in the documentation and actually found a very useful screencast. Things were going good and then I read the license, and realized that I would need written consent from the developers of EE to make the site that I want to create. Blarg.
Then J contacted me assured me that I could move forward with tweaking our server. Then I started thinking about doing this project in Ruby on Rails instead of PHP. There are so many variables, and I feel like I’m stuck in “paralysis of analysis”.
Lessons learned:
- You can’t assume that someone’s going to help you out.
- Read the license.
- Read the documentation before you poke around. It’ll save you time.
- Getting anxious over an imaginary deadline sucks.
- Go towards the prize, not away from pain.
