About to finish second trivia app, then i WILL finish the zombie game before doing anything else… at this point it’s like a demon haunting my neverending nightmares…

You may notice this month’s log is massive compared to previous ones, thanks to my new hourly based approach to logging time. WIN WIN. WOOT.

learning learning learning about phone orientation stuff, and the most painless way to do it in my app. I’ve got it pretty much figured out how im gonna do it. I hope i don’t hit any nasty surprises… this is what i consider the boring parts of game making…

doing some marketing research, made a flier for kim jong il game, looks nice actually!
2:52pm
the app is done except for one issue. I bought a plugin but i gotta wait for the author to implement a new feature that solves my issue. It’s cool, this is just a simple little app, ill put it on hold.
2:05
Work shift complete, i worked a little on app, now will continue, gotta get some tea too… lunch…
12:33pm
fuckin waste time looking a monica belluci pictures and that rape scene from irreversible… well she is hot though lol.. im not leaving this dam office for the day until i get some app work done!
10:13am
spent like hour and half reading interesting internet articles about memory… i feel tired, only 6.5 hours of sleep, haven’t worked on any app stuff yet, it is sunday though and i don’t work tomorrow so i can stay at work as late as i want to work on the app.
7:22am
got to work 40 minutes late… read some forum posts… there’s a lot of job work to do… can’t ignore it… then breakfast… then ill continue my app.

2/7
5:34pm
spent 75 bucks getting 2 plugins… one of them is still workin on feature i need, other one seems to work… but im stuck anyways on a little issue… working on it…
12:41pm
finished reading the book… 90% of it i knew already, the only new stuff was some promoting info and advice on using elance. It says average app costs are between 1000-5000$$$. I really don’t have that level of money. I think my current best course of action is to make simple apps myself, and get really really really good at marketing them. I initiated a close friend of mine to be my dedicated marketing guy and I’m going to do my utmost best to hype him up, give him that spark that will drive him without my help.
Lunch time now…
9:09am
surfed web didnt do much. did renew my itsallgoodgames.com web domain.
8:14am
thought of a new quick funny app idea. it must be made!! as soon as i finish the other utility app i started yesterday…
7:13am
gotta do my regular job for now, things to do…
6:58am
at work an hour late… meh… went to sleep at 11:30pm not good… less than 8 hours of sleep… I need to leave work no later than 6 pm cause the lack of sleep will hurt me productivity wise. But for now… breakfast time, ill finish reading the app book afterwards since im already halfway done lol It’s crazy but the first 50 pages are stuff im already familiar with like publishing to apple and google play.

2/6

2/5
I have been lazy the last few days, barely got any work done. This is really irritating me. I have decided to keep an hour based record here of my day to day work. I think of it as a next level stagnation log, ive spent over a year doing my best to get a least SOMETHING done every single day, now the next level is to get at least SOMETHING done every single HOUR!
I’ve also decided to learn about app outsourcing just to try it out, ive bought a 100 dollar ebook program over a year ago and it still stings to this day that i have no read it. With this new hourly logging i believe ill have the time to work on my personal apps, as well as learn about outsourcing. At the end of the day though, it’s still all in the realm of apps, so I’m not extremely deviating from my path in any way. ONWARDS!!! TO WAR!!!

2/1-2/4
working on app.
