I forget to finish things. I forget to include things in a new function. I forget to test things. My memory is terrible.
I could write task lists. I could create test scripts. I could develop project plans. And generally expend adequate time on administration.
So I just build.
Keep each download so you can roll back if you cannot live with the current bugs.
AxleBase is receiving most of my attention at the moment. But CoreModel is still my first love.
I appreciate the way that CoreModel's concepts and documentation have impacted the computing world, and I plan to do more with it when AxleBase is at a stopping point. Although CoreReader has been downloaded far far more than has CoreModel, I believe that it is because CoreModel is so hard to understand for most people. CoreModel is far more important and is a much bigger contribution to those who can understand it.
CoreModel is massive and much of his code has not been looked at in years. So that he can continue to evolve, the error handler that weaves throughout his code will be entirely rebuilt, as time permits, to give him the AxleBase error protocol.
