Now, to github!

The whole point of this was so that I could get on github and start using xcode, etc etc etc.

Anyways, logging into github using terminal was....interesting to say the least.   I learned a couple things:

I'm now very grateful for WYSIWYG products.  Github is not my friend..

I am loving the ease of now officially owning a mac product.  Hating folder organization and that I needed to download a product to see hidden files.  (Spent 45 mins looking for one file.)

Figured out how to make public keys and such to folders. 

Learned how to log into github.  (Uh, I think.  I set everything up, but I'll have to re-enter everything again, I think....sigh.....)

That I'm so. SO. SO. Glad I'm paying someone else to do it.  Just logging into github took me 2 hours.  How long do you think it would take me to make a game?  Geez!

Ah forget it

I'm going to play Tetris Battle.  E-mails sent saying, "I'll send you emails tomorrow."

Well now I'm really annoyed

So I've narrowed down my choice of developers, and the one I'm most interested in e-mails me to tell me he's been busy working on his own games, which is why he hasn't responded to my request for a phone interview.

Er, really?  I'm going to pay you and you can't even answer one simple email with a yes/no answer?  I understand busy like anyone, but I'm all about lining up the next sale.  I'm kinda wondering what this guy's deal is.

So I'm moving on, a couple more interviews, and I think I'll have someone by next week. 

A friend referred a really great coding guy, but he says he doesn't have the time nor the iOS skill to do the job, although he said he'd pass along the opportunity.  So, I almost had the perfect programmer (I met him once, he's as nice as programmers get.) and lost it all in the same week.

Deadline for programmer is Nov. 15.  I don't think I'll be using e-mail-me-sometimes-guy because I already have one of those on staff.  They're fun, and they get the work done eventually, but I have a guy e-mailing me that really wants to do and follows up with me, and compare that to someone I have to send three e-mails to get a response, which twice has been 'um, sure, sounds good, let's talk later.'  Who does that?  Does anyone understand people like this? 

Really

Man, why do people even bother applying for contract positions if they were never really interested in the first place...seriously.

Of course I can do it all myself...I just don't WANT to.  It's a waste of time, and by doing that I'm going to miss the Christmas season for sales, and I have to spend time learning something that a variety of people already know how to do well, which is a huge loss, in my mind.  And it means I can't focus on other elements like story, art design, UX, marketing, beta testing, etc.

Well, whatever.  At this rate, I'll do it all myself.  And get all the $$. (All three of them.)  That'll show them.
