She builds a nicely logical chain of actions and then, when you least expect it, as if she had it as her goal, she makes a few remarks that totally contradict what she have just explained. And this pattern is taking place throughout the whole book. Which drives me nuts, really.
For instance, one time she says competitive research should be conducted before actually work on the project begins, the other time she mentions that you could start doing this while you're still designing project structure or working on visual style but the important thing is that she suggests a number of ideas that other components of the process and decisions depend early on. Like, what if competitive research establishes that a few competitors do it well only because they have a sophisticated internal search system and we didn't really know that and never thought of introducing this functionality to the project? We never actually thought of using a database at all and now we realize that we must in order to gain competitive edge. This directly changes the budget and resources and deadlines. WHOA.
So, I had to basically sit and write down all of her ideas, then sort them, group and restructure this mess to rebuild the possible courses of actions she's talking about in the book. After reading this book like 2-3 times probably.... it'd just made me return and recheck what she wrote in other places, try to consolidate contradicting ideas... eventually I had to plough through the book and sort it out.
Only then when I distilled all the information I achieved a sense of satisfaction that you get after fully understanding the book. I could see the clear and crisp structure with optional and mandatory steps.
But it almost drove me nuts. I love what I learned from this book and Kelly, but I hate the way it was written and thus Kelly by extension.
getting kinda bored of rain now. 10cm or 4 inches of rain in one day is kinda enough.
It's been raining all day over here today. I kinda enjoyed it, especially when I went out to do some chin-ups and there was a light drizzle that was cooling me down.Quote:

That and I am in a program with people who (in my opinion) are a lot smarter than me so I feel like I am taking something on that is out of my league. We will see how it goes by the end of the year.
I hate "cheese and veggie omelet" MREs.
I hate money issues.
