Just to demonstrate the level of my growing apathy toward web development …<\/p>\n
In the past two days, I've toyed with the idea of setting up a shopping cart system online so I can offer MP3s of my demos. The purpose is more to track listeners than to earn an income. In fact, I would rather the system offer them for free.<\/p>\n
I experimented with Zen Cart, which is available from Dreamhost as a one-click install, and it was too robust for what I had in mind. Other solutions were paid services using outside servers, and I have more than enough space on my web site to accomodate my files. I'm not concerned with bandwidth at this point because, well, no one is listening to my stuff.<\/p>\n
The more I looked into it, the more it became apparent that my needs are way too specific for what is available. And if I went with a third-party tool, I would need to hack it extensively to do what I wanted.<\/p>\n
I've built my own applications, and I've hacked other people's applications. The time sunk into them is equal.<\/p>\n
I wanted something to run out-of-the-box. That's not possible.<\/p>\n
Five years ago, I would have dove straight in and started coding. Today, I'm filing the idea in the mental cabinet to wait for a time when I'm not feeling so apathetic.<\/p>\n
This apathy even extends to my blogs. I have a lot of reviews I've been intending to write but no drive to write them.<\/p>\n
I want a sabbatical.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
