Just checking in…

Wow, so my last post was September? That’s just not good blogging, and for that I apologise… There’s been a lot going on, but this is no time for excuses – I’m just posting this to let you all know that I’m still here, still writing code (lately, not as much as I’d like, but there you go) and I’m soon going to be making a start on the huge list of Open Source stuff that’s been building up over the past few months. Here are a few highlights of what’s in store:

• Some awesome new stuff will be going into ORMDroid very soon, with some great contributions from Jacob Ferrero including one-to-many support. I can only apologise to Jacob for the time it’s taking to get these reviewed and merged!
• Speaking or ORMDroid, it must be about time for that 1.0 release…
• I’m planning to finally finish up Deelang. It still needs the new parser architecture sorting out, and some bug-fixes, plus some decent documentation. It’s been sitting there for too long, it needs to be pushed out the door!
• I have some new code to put into Mink, including some rudimentary user-mode bootstrap code, along with a basic round-robin scheduler and other basic bits that will allow development to continue. A lot of this code is written, but still shockingly untested and even-more-shockingly out of version control!

Outside of Open Source, I still have to do something with retroify.me, a fact I was reminded of the other day when the domain name came up for renewal. The annoying thing there is that it’s done – I just need a reasonably-priced swag supplier who can print up cool T-shirts and the like for people to buy (any suggestions much appreciated!). We’ve also got an exciting new venture on the verge of private beta, which we hope to be launching as a commercial product later in the year.

So, all in all, exciting times. Now I just have to actually get on and do all this stuff.

Watch this space.
