I managed to make some progress on my little photo gallery project tonight. Of course, it'll eventually be used in several places, including here, but PointBuzz gets the first treatment. I've got five work items left, plus some style clean up, but it's most of the way there.
The tagging mechanism works pretty well. The concept of an "album" is less important when you have tags.
Not counting eating, hot tubbing and generally wasting time, I think I spent about four hours on this stuff tonight. That's not the kind of working speed I'd like, but it's getting there. I'm contemplating on taking two days off next week and doing a four-day mini-camp for coding. Really bang out some of the stuff that has been nagging me. If I really buckle down tomorrow and this weekend, I think I can make amazing progress.
The strange irony in all of this is that I decided to not beat myself up if I didn't feel like writing code. By not loathing myself, I'm happy, and when I'm happy, I'm motivated, and when I'm motivated, I write more code! Weird how not caring about doing it gets me to do it more in the end.
