demonreps report

Demonreps started off as a hobby project, like blogging.. and I consider both efforts mediocre at best. In my honest opinion, I’m surprised anyone uses it because I think it’s crap. I spent maybe 40 hours total on it.. and only produced half of the features and polish I can envision. I did all the work myself except version two graphics.. I sorta-kinda program, but I’m no programmer. Code is all custom except izireps for replay parsing. Good learning experience…

I guess I’ll keep the zombie-hobby alive and add more features.. maybe even expand it to sc2!? At the very least, I will add RSS feeds. That should have been done at the beginning. Any site with regularly updated content needs to have feeds.. if all the replay/news sites had feeds it would make scraping 1000% easier and I might actually add more. So everyone lobby readmore and everyone to add RSS! Maybe add more functionality to public replays since it’s become so popular. (15000 replays uploaded and counting.. from leagues to clan to individual scrubs) In fact while I’m at it I should probably just convert everything to xml.

OK enough geek speak.

time flies by, people come and go, and nothing really changes D:

“do you know how to tell a successful person from a[n] unsuccessful one? the easiest way is by the language they use. when you talk to a successful person about his goals, he’ll tell you what he plans to do and when it will be done. when an unsuccessful person talks about his goals (assuming he even has one), you’ll hear something along the lines of, ‘i hope to do this someday.’ here’s a clue for all you losers out there; someday never comes.”

posted december ’07. still true, still working on it. if I am fair with myself, I can honestly say my work ethic has improved. it still has a long way to go.

feb ’08, “Don’t really have anything to write about.. don’t really have any replays to post.” Sound familiar? %) I actually don’t sound too stupid in early posts.. (that is, I’m not embarassed by myself) .. probably because I haven’t changed in two years. I’m going nooowhere. ssdd.

JUST DO IT. that’s my challenge for all and myself. you know what you have to do, so do it. let’s finish off the year strong and have a fantastic, unimagineable 2010–beyond the wildest dreams that you dare not utter.
