All too often, I have ideas which might make a cool website or iPhone app or whatever and I know I just don't have the time to build them. I'm going to post them here in the hope that someone else might find a use for them. These ideas might already be in existence, of course. I'm not claiming they are unique in any way (although some might be).

You are free to take these ideas and do whatever you like with them. Of course, if they become amazingly successful, I could do with a bigger TV...

...in several easy steps.

1: Have a too-clever-for-its-own-good CMS that is child-like in its simplicity yet Canadian-lumber-forest-like in its ability to be hacked.
2: Build several different websites using said CMS, each with their own unique hacks.
3: Have all the sites open in your FTP client and in your text editor
4: Play an episode of Firefly in the background to distrct you.

Now, the next few steps must be done in very quick succession:

5: Upload files from site A to site B
6: Realise mistake, download replacements from site C
7: Upload replacements to site D
8: Realise mistake, reset Subversion backup C
9: Upload site C to site A
10: Watch River Tam kick ass
11: Realise you're getting confused, delete everything and start again
12: Delete Subversion backup B
13: Delete entire project B

Now that you've done that, all that's left is to put everything back the way it was on A, C and D and trawl old backup disks and Google cached pages to try and get B back.

14: Watch Mal shoot someone.
15: Write it up in a post on the freshly-restored, looks-like-it-was-never-broken site B.

Fairly straightforward, really.
