Getting Real

I just finished reading "Getting Real - The smarter, faster, easier way to build a successful web application" by 37signals. It was a pretty good book. I'm pretty sure I have read it before. But that's okay because it has a lot of good ideas in it. After I was finished, I just wanted to get on my computer and write something, but I was in a vehicle 30 minutes from home on my way to work so that didn't happen. And when I got to work I was like "okay, time to get real" but most of their ideas won't really work here because they are aimed more towards online projects and start-ups. Our software has been around for a few years already so we don't have to worry about start-up stuff anymore and it's not online and we do allow customers to get customized changes and we have meetings every morning. I would still like to try to start something at home but I have no ideas. I don't think I'm interested in doing anything really serious right now either. Books are always like "find a need and fill it". But I don't really want to unless it's the need for a game. But pretty much every game under the sun has been done already. Plus, I would have to get online and learn something like Ruby on Rails or something. Or I could just do something for fun again like the trucking monopoly game. That turned out alright. I still play it at home (and I don't even win all the time). I'm kinda trying to plan a wedding for the summer so learning a new language right now might just take up too much time. Maybe in the fall. But I almost need a laptop or something because my other half likes to be on the computer in the evening to play his games. Oh well, back to the work that pays my bills!
