Writing now from the secret underground lair in Lake George, NY, where Rich and I have gone into hiding for the week to write v1.0 (or maybe v0.1) of OpenBoxOffice, codename OBOe.

Major decisions so far:

1. We're going to use Ruby On Rails. So far, despite the "YOU WILL DEVELOP TEN TIMES FASTER" claims, this has mainly involved 12 frustrating hours of installing, reinstalling, compiling, cursing and recompiling poorly-documented code libraries.

This is only made more frustrating by the breathless and semicondescending tone of the tutorials. Actual quote: "Now, that is way beyond cool--it's awesome! OK, calm down and enter a test record." Thank you, Tutorial, for reminding me to calm down, lest the eldrich beyond-awesome power of your code seer my soul.

Anyway, I'll let you know when we get agile.

2. Theme song for the day: Jan Hammer Group's Evolove. (Picture it as the 70s movie "getting stuff done" montage theme.)
