What I’m currently working on…

Posted by rousso as Current Projects, Past Projects, Projects On-Hold

I decided to start posting about my current projects. Lot’s of times I promise myself that "I will publish something about this great project after I finish it". But, I never managed to keep those promises.

Why? Simply because there is always a next big thing after the last.

I came to realize that if I talk about my work a posteriori, then I have to make a case out of it and present it as such. That’s a big project on its own and needs time I don’t usually manage to find and devote. That’s often called marketing.

Still, work in progress is always worth a look at and at the same time is often more relevant to what other people are currently doing. So why waste all the energy I put in my projects, in just developing them, instead of adding a tiny extra bit of effort to let others know what work is in progress. That will add up to less than the time I need to publish a posteriori and at the same time, solve the problem of "no marketing".

The simple implementation of my "what do I do" series is just:

  1. use my blog
  2. add two or three categories to it

So I am adding these categories to my blog and start ASAP, then take it as it comes:

  1. Current Projects
  2. Projects On-Hold
  3. Past Projects

Work under way is going to be published under "Current Projects". As soon as something is history, it will move to the "Past Projects" category. Finally, as some projects are occasionally put on hold while others take precedence, I thought of adding a third category for them to move in and out.

This post will remain for reference as the oldest post in all three categories.

So here we go…

Short update for “current projects” category:

Since I started this line of posts there has been one important change: I currently work under a confidentiality agreement so I can’t talk about the work I am doing.

Apart from that, there is other current work I am doing on personal projects that I also need to hold on to until they are released for competitive purposes.

So the “current projects” category is not reflecting my current work adequately (or even at all).

Nevertheless, I will keep the category for future use .
