As always with software development, there's one last bug to fix or a critical missed piece of functionality. The trick is to know what to touch and what to leave alone for now. I think I made it through the important fixes yesterday, but I didn't get to much else on my list, which is now long enough to make me want to run out of my office screaming until I knock myself out by hitting a signpost in the street. This is not a cartoon though and I really don't have time for a hospital run.
Let's see what's in the pile:
- The web site needs the final page designs completed and posted (pretty critical)
- My PayPal payment system needs to be updated (oh crap—must have a way to pay)
- I still don't have my final discount processing system in place for Debt Quencher customers (double crap)
- The online tutorials aren't done yet (that ain't happenin' today)
- The press release still needs final editing (that's gotta happen today)
- I need to retest the licensed and unlicensed modes (mega high priority)
I'm pretty sure I'm missing something, I just hope it's not a biggie.
Release day is a blend of anxiety and excitement that is hard to describe. If I survive it, I'll post more entries about how it went. If not, look for me unconscious in the street.
Peace.
