Getting Ready for Alpha
Ok, I had hoped to start letting alpha users into the system two weeks ago. That sure didn’t happen. I got swamped at work and just couldn’t get it out the door. Although, if I am being perfectly honest I should admit that I am struggling with releasing an imperfect product even with the alpha moniker which basically means “this software is still in the sucky stage”.
The good news is that I seem to be back on track now. I have pushed out a major release of the code and discovered some new bugs that need to be worked out. I am squeezing in a few more pieces of functionality too. Tonight I created the email to alpha users and figured out the process for creating accounts and granting access. All the while we are still working on ways to get this thing funded so that we can go full speed ahead.
I haven’t sent out the first round of invites yet, but I am getting painfully close. I am hoping to start allowing people to trickle into the system at a pace that I can control to ensure that the system stays stable.
So much to do; so little time. I am loving every minute of it though.
