Yesterday we got started a little late — I didn’t rewake until 8:30 or so, so we didn’t get to the office and started until 9:30. Still, we made good progress on the application. Future directions are starting to become clearer. Some conceptual fuzziness I was grappling with has receded. Seeing other people’s successful y-combinator applications was very helpful.

For lunch we went to a BBQ place around the corner: I had some pretty delicious pork:

Mmmmmm rich in porkly goodness. The restaurant was totally awesome, too; we got seated, Thomas ordered, we got the food — all in 30 seconds. I wolfed down my plate and ordered some extra BBQ; a Yakult was definitely in order, but man was it delicious.

Then, back to the grind. The office is tiny and way too cold, but they’re turning off the A/C this weekend, so it’s going to get a lot warmer. I’m hoping to get the answers in our app tightened up a bit so I can go to the beach on the day after we submit it.

After work, we had a bowl of noodles and then hit the Cocoaheads meeting at a local Mac reseller. I have to apologize to George the speaker, because I was disassociating from jetlag and basically incapable of standing up straight. But I met some of the local nerdery, who seemed cool, and learnt some about the app advertising business on the iPhone — not directly relevant to what I want to do, but useful and intelligently presented. What I can remember of it, that is. I made Thomas take me back to my room, because in my fugue state I was as likely to end up in Macau as the Yesinn if I wasn’t being shepherded about. But now I have the route back from the MTR burnt into my brain, so I’ll be OK.

Last night went much better vis á vis the sleeping; I powered through until about 10:15 and slept to 6am. Gonna take a shower and go get a coffee and a paper.
