Overnight Fame

As I posted over on the Watercooler a few days ago, I threw together a new comment design for myOtaku since it seemed no one else had taken up Adam's offer. I never use myO anymore since creating my World here so I did it pretty much on a whim, because I could and I felt like doing some HTML coding. It was fun and I've ended up spending about five, maybe six hours on it total.

Adam implemented it last night and then we made some more tweaks to add improvements, like the user name links opening in the parent window. Since then I've gotten lots of thanks in his post's comments and a couple guestbook entries. It's really cool to make something and know that a bunch of people will be using and enjoying it so I'm glad it's gotten such a good reception.

It makes me wonder, though. If I can do something like this in only five or six hours, what could everyone else do if they put all their time spent nagging Adam about stuff into something constructive instead? He told me while we were talking over AIM that the number of things people nag him about is infinite. So I'm thinking that, if people really did divert their time and energy into useful things, we might just be able to solve an infinite number of the world's problems. Who's with me?
