Well, I've been away quite a while again. I've been very busy however. I designed some incredible sites and learned quite a bit about organic groups, organic group blueprints, podcasts, audio, video, iTunes integration, user profiles, ubercart, and tons of hacks to make things interesting.

Just now, I finally gave up trying to upgrade my last 4.7.x site and just put up a brand new 6.x site instead. I still have the upgrade in my backlog in case I should stumble onto some copious free time ... sorry ... that just cracks me up!

Anyway, I did a bit trying to integrate one of my ical feeds with Facebook, harder than it sounds though there is a great Facebook app that is almost there ... ya get duplicates after a short bit ... but hey I can turn it on then off -- saves me a bit o'typing I say.

Look at what I just did there ... I'm suddenly typing wit a British accent! Yikes!

I started using "scrum for one" to handle the sheer magnitude of my backlog -- which is a great term if you think about it. I am also using Zen's kanban board system to organize my sprints. I am thinking of upgrading to a paid account -- it is that good.

And what else ... oh yeah ... I am using Autofocus to manage my GTD next action list -- fantastic!

It has been really hard with the economic downturn to get paid work, I guess it is a good thing that this is only my part time job. In the mean time, my next big project is converting my over 10k lines of perl script into a drupal/ubercart app. This just gives me the heebie-geebies, but my site admins are tired of double and sometimes triple entry. Sigh ... the hits keep coming ... Happy Belated New Year ... and I am out!
