Day 19: Setting Priorities

I signed up with Google Apps last night. It seems like an easy way to have a top-notch mail server and client for supporting and promoting my poker app. I don't need to worry about spam filtering because Google will do it for me.

I just managed to crush a sporadic concurrency problem I've had for a few days. It's not the nicest bug to be hunting down after a day at work, so I've been putting it off. However I've decided to set some new priorities:
Highest Priority: Get all features working
High Priority: Get all known bugs and issues resolved
Low Priority: Tune the fine details of the UI. These are the things I can leave to the last days before launching.

That means I won't spend another whole evening trying to get a iTunes-style look to my tables, unless the app is feature complete and fully functional.

+1 for Google Apps. I get about 600 spams a day, and their spam filter is second to none. Their mobile client is very nice too.

For your low priority item, maybe this link is helpful?

Dave,

Thanks for the link. The problem I was having was integrating such a component with some special rendering my table does, as a user feature. The two wouldn't play together. :-(
