My housemate is out of town all week, and I've spent the time wearing no pants working on Scrapoplexy. Jon Udell's comment on project blogs landed less than a day after I whimsically decided to set up a simple Scrapoplexy blog to keep me focused and let the few interested parties look in on my progress.

It's not public yet (not until there's some code to see), but I expect it'll be useful to have a historical project record -- early screen shots, frustrations, design assumptions, etc. As a solitary effort, the collaborative effects Udell praises are missing or at least different, but it's worthwhile even for my own benefit. Having already set up Movable Type, the marginal effort in running an additional blog is zero, though I suppose if I get to the point of selling anything, I'll owe Ben and Mena a check.

(My esteem for Ben Trott's technical achievement in building MT rocketed upward after a recent project afforded me the chance to spend some time gazing at Slash's designed-by-accretion guts. MT is a real pleasure with which to work, both as an end-user and a developer/tinkerer, and I have all the more appreciation for it after getting more familiar with some of MT's venerable competition.) 10:48AM «
