It's back to the usual form with people unable to lend their expertise and knowhow. Even though it's painfully slow and frustrating, at least things are starting to progress. Right now it's basically down to winging is as much as I can and sorting out the errors as I go along. Not exactly something I'd be proud off, but when it's just down to one person trying to do something that he doesn't know how to do. The amount of options available it remotely…negligible.

On the other hand some mistakes do turn out to be unexpected boons. Design flaws that do look aesthetically pleasing. They might not be reproducible, but I'm not complaining, I don't see anyone trying to help me correct the errors.

The countdown has begun anyway. I have to finish this theme in about 4 weeks with only one more week left of free time. Even if most of the the hard parts are done, there is still the countless hours of bug hunting and tweaking to get to it. You might say I don't like the fact that I'm left to do this on my own seeing I can only progress so far with a limited amount of knowledge and time. If you did say that. You're absolutely right.

Then again, no one said the best things in life were the easiest to come by.
