Things unfinished.

Post by onion2k »

If you're like me you've probably got dozens of unfinished projects kicking around. Lets share!

http://www.ooer.com/poker - My javascript poker game that uses <canvas>. It's actually quite far along, the only missing bits really are the hand comparison to see who's won and some AI. One day I'll find the time to complete it. Honest.

I consider it unfinished, but I've got a library to compare two iTunes library.xml files & tell you which ones are missing: viewtopic.php?t=64198
I've also got a class that will open & read in all the album artwork from a directory of mp3s, and make a collage out of them.
Also have a CMS (60% done) and a photo galler program (75% done).
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

That about sums me up. I start to work on something (not a work project), get about two thirds complete, then a new idea pops in my head and my ADD acts up and I switch full focus to the new idea.

Absolutely.

I've got

- An image hosting site
- A manual surf traffic exchange site
- My personal site
- A freebie type site

and a few personal projects

All unfinished.
Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.

By statistic about 1 of 5 ideas not finished;)

Too many ideas and too small of free time.

My unfinished tasks:
- Photo blog system for multiuser (85%).
- E-commerce framework (25%)

I've got tons of little scripts and ideas I never finished (ones I can't even remember), but all of my major projects I never seem to put off for that long. My CMS is about 90% finished. :)

You've accomplished quite a bit in just 1 year jenk. You didn't hire out for any of that?

:lol: jenk.

It seems that I used to always start projects and not see them through but that's stopped within the past 8 months or so. I've constantly got something on the go but I always finish what I start recently. I think I just select my projects more carefully and realistically :)

Unfinished bits and pieces in the past include an AJAX based MySQL client, a JavaScript powered source code editor (Rich text editor with syntax highlighting), a Java (Swing) app to plot a graph of the sun through the sky for a given date/location.

Lately I'm really enjoying programming because I'm taking a bit of a break from PHP outside of work (apart from the occassional update to Swift) and focusing more on Java.

Real life got in the way back then, and then I never got to continue working on the codebase (only some tweaks for a couple of bot tasks I needed done). Some day I'll be back :)

This is actually pretty funny, but the web site idea I had that originally got me into learning PHP is still an idea. I had put some stuff together for it but never really got it off the ground.

That's funny, my case is very similar to that :P
