Project management, here I come!

When you take on such a big project, it's a good idea to have a project manager, even if you're working alone. For those who know me, you'll know I'm usually not fond of premade shit. You guessed it: I'm making a minimalistic project manager. It'll be more of a "automatic date inserter" and line counter than an actual project manager. But, yeah, I guess it might help in some cases where I forget when the last time I've worked on a file was.

Also, as soon as I finish the project manager, I'm going to create http://beta.locklegion.com which will be an active version of the developping forums, for bug testing and other things, including random stats like total line numbers, files amount, and hours spent working. You know, shit like that.

Wow, I am slowly starting to realize nobody will give a flying fuck about this blog. In case you're wondering why the fuck you should read this, well, here is a good reason: You'll learn from my mistakes. I'm probably going to bump into a lot of problems when making this. I'll probably have to start things from scratch over, and over, and over again. I think it's a good idea to regularly follow this, so you'll also get an idea of how much work it is to entirely recode a website that already consists of a good 10-20'000 lines of code (I never counted them. I'll count them as soon as I finish my tool which should be in a few hours).

EDIT: I ran a line counter I made, and I'd say there's a good 40'000 lines of code. I'm saying this as an estimation, because there are some files on my server that aren't really part of the forum or the website itself. I also have accidental uploads on there.
