![]() I’ll try and do that for a business for life. But yeah, fairly typical developer discovered that you could in theory, just sit in a darkened room programming and somebody who puts money into the door, and be like, yeah, that sounds nice. And then yeah, from there sort of jumped into I guess the story we’ll get into later. And then gradually started actually releasing some things, but not making any money. So I spent a long time building things and not actually releasing them or getting close to making any money. And that was fitted in with what I like doing, which is building things. ![]() And then sort of finding Rob Walling and people like this, and get included in the idea that you could actually just do it yourself, you didn’t need to do it as part of a company, you know, you didn’t need to raise funds, you could just go out and build something and sell it. And then I’m not sure when I saw a member seeing like Patrick McKenzie, building the bingo card creator and stuff like that. I think that experience of working at a small company was growing got me a bit more excited about startups and wanting to get involved in that kind of thing. But then yeah, I stayed at one and ended up sort of managing the team there. So I started a small company, I always seem to be employing them seven, every company I joined for some reason, I’m not sure.

I decided to categorize and organize by color. If you decide on a category and then change your mind, just move it to a different card. So, this is one of the great things about Trello, you can move things around. Then I would add an attachment and it would let me take a photo and that photo would be attached to the card. So, for example, I might be working on red ornaments and I would be in Trello and have a card that says Red Ornaments. This was helpful so all of my photos had the same background.
