Off the Ground
The time has come to either commit, or cut and run. And I think I'm going to commit. You see, I've finally taken steps to go forward with the "big idea".
Now that other organizations (ok, even though I'm currently testing the service for free, I'm going to call them clients) are involved, I'm feeling a lot of pressure. If all goes well, I hope that these clients will be the first in a long line of happy customers. But that means it has to go smoothly this time around.
Actually it doesn't, really. I stipulated that this "beta test" would be provided free of charge in exchange for being a little more flexibility with the end result. In fact, these initial clients have committed themselves to working with me to go over the product and make sure it works. So I guess I should stop worrying and just get on with it.
Of course, trying to do this while simultaneously working a normal 40-hour week is somewhat trying. Fortunately, my contract work can be done at any time of the day, so it's no problem to put that research off until the evening so I can contact MY clients during normal business hours. On the other hand, since some of them are in Europe, I'll probably find myself up in the middle of the night making telephone calls anyway.
Anyway, it's VERY exciting.
