DVD Night

Last night my wife and I decided to stay home and watch some DVDs. We rented The Bourne Identity, The Scorpion King and Unfaithful. Man, talk about different types of movies. The Bourne Identity was excellent, and Matt Damon did an awesome job. He played the part of a CIA assassin really well. It would be interesting if they came out with a sequel.... but I doubt it. We then watched The Scorpion King.... which reminded me why I wasn't much of a wrestling fan. Even in this movie.... the Rock can't act. I know they MEANT to make it kinda silly and funny while entertaining... but I didn't really enjoy it after just watching Matt kick ass. Now Kelly Hu... acting as the Sorceress can trapse across the screen ANY time in that get up. We finished off with Unfaithful which was a suspenseful drama which my wife enjoyed more than I. Although I must admit... as Richard Gere movies go... it wasn't to bad. Weird ending though.

Finished up the cash flow model today and sent it for a second review. Except for some depreciation of capital asset calcs (don't recall them off hand) its pretty much done. It wasn't all that hard once I approached it using historical numbers I can easily defend with proof, tied together with industry standard numbers for growth patterns of new software companies, and then cross referenced with supporting research from IDC. I don't understand how it takes some people MONTHS to do this stuff. In the matter of a month I have incorporated the business, completed a new 50 page business plan including a seperate executive summary and a complete cash flow model on top of a 34 page functional design spec (with 3 different sets of external reviews already), 12 page value proposition and market research document, an 8 page SQL Slammer Business Case, complete Threat Model documentation and all the supporting research. I also finished all the logo design, business cards etc while still getting some time in for some initial research code development and about 15 different meetings in Vancouver. It's been a very busy month... and very productive.

This month is no different. I got a tonne of stuff to get done before I really start cranking out code in March. With that said.. I should get some sleep as tomorrow is the start of a new work week. TTYL
