It’s been a bit over a month since I’ve updated the blog- which means that I’m just a really bad blog host. It’s not like nothing’s been happening, lots of things have happened. Unfortunately many of them were bad, and happened to me.
I really didn’t mean to completely desert the blog, it just sort of worked out that way, and I’m sorry. It’s not good because many folks out there are probably asking the question:
“Hey, where did everybody go?”
Well, we’re still here, and I expect it’s time you had an update about what’s going on. Unfortunately, it’s not very glamorous.
Patrick (BigBark writer) and Lyle have done major work on the back-end code and we’re now, apparently, at the stage where we need a server to have it running and have to get a few more people looking at (and testing) the codebase.
That’s where Bill Jackson comes in. Bill is setting up his server to run the current code so that people can play with it and, when things are broken, log bugs or issues when something’s wrong. This means that we’re nearly at the stage where at least something visible is presented.
It’s not magical news, but it’s actually pretty exciting for the developers. I have to say, without the dedication of Lyle, Patrick and Bill, things would be pretty sad. Because of them, we’re closer to having a Digg-able aggregator.
I’ll try to be a better blog host in the future.
