Cameesa - The Blog

Cameesa, June 13th

Written by Kamil on May 26th, 2008

“90% of any application takes about 10% of the time to complete. The last 10% of the application takes roughly 90% of the time to finish.”

This is an old IT adage that holds true for many projects, including Cameesa. So, your application core is done rather quickly, while the final intricate details take the remaining 90% to finish. I think that the last 10% of the application are the difference makers, and take the longest time to finish because they are constantly being tweaked and perfected.

Anyways, Cameesa is 99% complete. We’ve been working on the last 10% of the site for the past 2 months, but we are almost ready. We will be releasing Cameesa on Friday the 13th, ha….knock on wood. We originally wanted to put in some final features but decided to JUST FRACKIN’ LAUNCH.

Cameesa Original Copy

We’ve been programming since January 2007, so this June release has been long awaited. Usually people acknowledge others’ efforts once a product has been released, I’m gonna go out on a limb here and pre-acknowledge The Cameesa Team. Thanks for all of your hard work guys, let’s do this…..Leroy Jenkins.

We would like to say thank you to all of the users that gave us feedback on the Beta Site, and we’d also like to thank the artists for submitting their artwork. We are sorry if we didn’t choose your art to be printed, submit it on Cameesa.com once we launch. We have room for one last design when we launch, so let us know if you think your design is the ish (short for sh*t). If we choose your design pre-Cameesa.com-launch you will receive $250 cash, and will start earning $2 off of each shirt sale (after the 250th shirt sold.)



Contact me at kamil@cameesa.com if you would like to submit a design or have any questions comments or concerns.

  1. For the love of god not only do you have to post the Leroy Jenkins video but one of our hacked up designs when we starting out ugh! By the way way we are due for another redesign soon, even though we haven’t launched. Plus this blog needs to be redesigned. Lastly, don’t mislead the people in saying we started January 2007. Technically we did start then, but it was an off and on again thing until we fully committed to the idea in the summer of 2007. Wow, I have a lot work ahead of me. Cheers!

  2. Plus the blog can use some SEO improvements. Example, this word press install is not using clean URLs.

  4. […] now you’ve got your vision, but how the heck do you get there? As Kamil hinted at earlier, YOU’VE JUST GOT TO START. Start doing something. Seriously, almost anything. If you are […]
