tarotgalWhoohoo!
I took the big plunge and sent the beta version of my thesis project to about 9 different mailing lists and a few friends with connections to more. I'm mentally preparing myself for all sorts of horrible comments back about how nothing worked and it was too slow and the special characters were fucked up and that this is the most waste-of-time research project they have ever beheld.
Yes, I'm a realistic pessimist who likes to imagine things much worse than they'll be so things will seem better when it turns out I only get bad feedback, not terrible feedback.
*crossing fingers* I'm not afraid to admit that I'm terrified out of my mind that:
1- people do indeed get off their asses to help me user test the project and find it sucks
and 2- people don't bother helping me out and I have no users
GAH!
