2009 Epic Fail. Glad Its Over. Towards 2010

By scott kane | Published: February 3, 2010

So it's only fair that I also talk about the converse - the opposite - when it happens. I'm referring to the sickening lurch that's began just over a few months ago on Google.

June 2007 – June 2009 377 Days – Can We Go To Release For July 29th?

By scott kane | Published: June 12, 2009

I've decided to try to do the same thing starting Monday 15th of June 2009 through to July 29th 2009. If I fail to do so this time...I still honestly believe time periods of 30 days etc are generally bad news for development cycles. In this instance I'm literally bringing the pieces together into the UI and connecting them with glue and code.
