Herecast

An open infrastructure for WiFi location-based services

Herecast Update

January 24, 2008 (Filed under: Personal)

It's been a while since I've written anything here!

The recent addition of a WiFi geolocation feature to the iPhone's Google Maps app has me pondering what I've been up to recently. Obviously, since starting my "real job", I haven't had been keeping up with this project nearly as much as I would like. (I've mostly been working on the back end, though the most observant of you may have noticed a 6th beta over on Sourceforge and Subversion updates in Oct 2006.) That's not to say I don't want to keep up--in fact I think about it quite frequently--but after a hard day at work (especially in recent months), the first thing I want to do is enjoy some quality time with Super Mario Galaxy. :) It's actually quite disappointing for me on a personal level that I have unable to find the motivation to dedicate time to this fun project. (Perhaps the thing that's sapping my motivation is knowledge that the top thing on the list is tracking down that nagging referential integrity bug!)

So what's next? That's hard to say, though I'm certainly not giving up yet! I have I've always found that working on this project gives me a sense of personal satisfaction and accomplishment that isn't matched by my day job. And my to-do list still has so many incredible ideas on it, it would be a crime against innovation to have them languish in a .txt file!

So for those of you still reading, please do stay tuned...
