Rumors of My Demise Are Somewhat Exagerated

06.01.07 | Cache Out X, Wordpress, Yasu

Funny how time can slip away from something when you’re focused on other ventures. As most of you know, I took up playing music again a few months back. Since then, I’ve managed to wind up committing myself to 2 substitute positions, and another 2 forming bands. If there’s anything that can be said for me, it’s that I just can’t say no when I should.

With all the learning/re-learning of material for the new gigs (we’re talking almost 150 tunes here), my several projects have been put into holding patterns. Once I get a little more settled (as in drop a sub slot, and one of the bands), then I should be able to focus on coding stuff again.

So, with that in mind, here’s the tentative plan;

• Yasu will get one more minor update, then I’ll start working on the next major version that will add some cool, and unique features.

• Tom at NoName Scriptware has turned over Cache Out X to me completely. It turns out there are still a lot of you out there who use it. You’ll be happy to know that I plan to re-write it from the ground up sometime this summer and release it as the next major version (5.0). Tom was kind enough to let me know that COX got a magazine call out in the 6/07 issue of MacLife. If he hadn’t, I wouldn’t have even known about it. Thanks Tom!

• My Wordpress themes will be getting overhauls sometime this summer too. Bogart still needs some work (as do Ala Moana & Plane Jane), even though it was listed as one the 100 favorite themes of Andrew Eglinton over at Desperate Curiosity. Thanks Andrew! I’m honored to have been included with such talented company.

• I’ll be adding a new WordPress theme to the stable as well. It’s very preliminary right now, but it’ll be nice — and sparse. I like sparse. Sparse is good.

• An finally, I’d like redo the site to better focus on my apps and themes, instead of the weblog so much.

So there you have it. Lots of work to do this summer. Add to that rehearsals & gigs (drop me a line if you’re a SoCal local and would like to come to a show), as well as the day job being busy as ever (no summer sabbatical this year), and you can see why it’s been nearly a month and a half since my last post.
