Also working with a small startup involving Benotto bicycles - we haven't hammered out details Benotto in north america has huge potential.

Additionally, I'm still trying to get androidappbundles.com off the ground and continue tweaking my own site - I have to target potential clients better... finally, I'm still trying to develop free drupal tutorials...

If you're using languages that require compilation such as C++, C#, or Java, then it takes longer to deploy stuff. When deployment is slow, people tend to use methods that emphasize more up-front thinking and documentation.
