Promises to Keep [0617.2000]

I'm in way over my head right now. I've promised a whole lot of people - myself included - more than I can possibly deliver in the near future. Some of these promises might take years. There's nothing I can do about that. But I WILL keep my word. So, to try and organize this madness, I'm going to collect the promises I've made, right here, right now.

In no particular order:

• I have promised myself and Zach to do everything I can to make our company, Zike Interactive, the best, most profitable business it can be.
• I have promised Elan a job if he's ever interested, and when we can afford to pay him what he's worth.
• I promised Jack Saturn quite some time ago that I would help him build a music swapping database website.
• I promised myself and several hundred HTB readers that I'd build a site for helping people set, track and reach their goals.
• I promised myself that I wouldn't date anyone again until I can balance a relationship and my workload.
• I promised myself that I'd never again have to work full time for a company I didn't own.
• I promised Vann Baker that I'd work with him on several pieces of software. (In fact, you could argue that the whole Zike thing is just a long, roundabout way of fufilling these promises)
• I promised Kevin Abel that I'd help out with phase II of an ASP project.
• I told Richard Curnow that I'd put a web front end to his lojban translator on my lojban site.
• I told Dave Winer that I'd make my ransacker search engine support XML-RPC.
• I promised a whole lot of webloggers that they could expect good things from linkwatcher.com.
• I promised myself I would complete the Body for life challenge.
• I told Chuck Esterbrook that I'd look into making my weblib module work more closely with his webware system.
• I promised a couple people that I'd make my (unfinished) python MIDI-for-Win32 module compliant with a standard, if they could come up with one.
• I told Tom Vizzini that I'd build a custom version of my calibration applet for him to use at seminars or sell on disk.

Are there more? There's quite a few more on the promised-myself lineup. Have I promised you something I haven't delivered? Let me know.
