I produced the binary snapshot, which would later compel David Jorm to get on board. Anyone who thinks that's a good way to work, anyway, is a liar and a charlatan. I thought I was finished, that it was too hard for me. Then in November, my girlfriend who I'd been seeing for quite a while dumped me, and it threw me for a loop. However, by that point David Jorm was on board the project, I was feeling confident, and I thought we could get somewhere.
Necessity is the mother of invention.
I didn't want to drop everything, but I didn't know what I could do. I talked strategy with myself and made a few doomed attempts to get a stable release. I decided it was time to step out. I gave up, but I didn't want to. I put a notice on the site saying I would be doing 'pure research,' knowing I probably wouldn't.
