We're almost ready to release... And I've still not posted anything

I started this blog with the intent of letting everyone know about interesting challenges or unique approaches to solving development problems I've encountered as I develop firstMOOSE.com but I've been so busy that I've still not had a chance to post anything so I'm going to make one big rambling post right now at 2 AM.

I'm making this post as I test the dynamic photo upload components for our page (specifically the way they interact with a special type of feature that we call an SDA and our regular classifieds) and as I upload 21 large high resolution images of my wedding I realized that it would be really nice to have a progress indicator for file uploads, meanwhile I'm thinking worrying about how to make sure our data servers can handle millions of people uploading their images simultaneously and as I write this I have open about 40 tabs open that I'm trying to keep track of.

For the last two years, I've been doing all the development and coding myself. I look forward to the day when I can hire a couple PHP, Javascript, developers and a database administrator to help lesson the load on me.

Based on our income projections that should be really soon! So if you have experience in those areas and want to work with us send me an email and I'll let you know when we finally are ready to hire.

Also, I have a tendency to code until my hands hurt. I need to stop doing that.

Anyway I guess this blog is going to change from being a blog where I don't post about interesting events in the development of firstMOOSE.com to a blog where I don't post about interesting events in the maintenance and post beta development of firstMOOSE.com

By the way do you want to know why I'm typing it firstMOOSE.com instead of firstmoose.com? Ask my business partner Greg!

Oh and if you know of the very very best or coolest method of giving users upload progress notifications (No flash or JAVA) let me know via the comments.
