This year I have done 3 (relatively) large PHP projects, in my terms anyway, this has been the first time I have done anything other than a quick email form, and part way through each script I have had one huge problem, what the hell do I do next, due to lack of planning (i.e. pen and paper) I just started going at it, with no idea where I wanted to end. So now, I am writing an arcade script, and for the first time ever, I have planned, admittedly it means less time working, but the hour or so i spent writing things down really helped out, now I know what I have done, what I’ve got to do, etc. etc. Admittedly there is computer software designed to help you plan, such as Inspiration, from RM, which I have used in school, but it is just so slow, you spend half the time thinking why the heck doesn’t this software use shortcuts, and then the other half looking for the button you need. Annoying. So this brings me back to paper, maybe it’s not so outdated to write rather than type afterall, well maybe, just maybe the floppy still has a use also? Who knows what “old technology” could be used for? And now, I think I have started to babble, so I’ll stop.
