[Icon][Icon]YYYEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!

• Post categories: Omni, My Life

As you may recall, I'm planning on starting up my own business. And I said some time ago I'd been able to test the basic principle and it seemed workable.

Well, today, at long last, I took delivery of the raw materials that will go to make the product I will actually sell. So instead of using some scavenged material here and some inferior ebay-sourced stuff there, I was able to construct a proper prototype of the actual product that, all going well, people will be buying.

I just gave it the first test run. Nail-biting time :o)

And after all the worries I've had (and believe me, I've had a lot!) it didn't go okay.

It went perfectly.

Seriously. I've been planning workarounds for all the things that were sure to go wrong for weeks. I was convinced I would need to make concessions somewhere. Of all the possible problems, surely at least one or two would crop up..?

Nope. None of them. Everything works. The only places where it didn't work as expected where were it worked better.

I'm really, really happy right now :o)

First of all congratulations on the completion of the proper prototype.
Second, the title of the post really took all of the drama out of the text =)

Maybe if you'd called the post "Nail Biting Tension" it would have preserved the mystery :)

Congrats on a successful prototype and I hope that you make millions so I can pester you to lend me money :p
