Wyatt Says...

I promised that I’d have the next version of InstantUpdate out by the “end of June or the beginning of July“. I didn’t lie. I synergised truth with fact-drought.

You may have noticed my spiffy new vocabulary. It’s the forward thinking that we have adopted to mashup the long-tail business. I will also be phasing out the personal singular tone in favor of the plural active tone. We think it’s best. I may not agree, but we disagree.

Who am I to argue with we? I am only one but we are one.

The singular tone we used in the past was about boxes thinking outside. But it was raining outside. The brilliant boxes got mashed-up.

We blame the long-tail dog.

Updates to InstantUpdate coming soon. I’m working long hours to make it as great as possible. You’ll see.

Much work, thus silence.
Much to come (you’ll see) from this
infrequent blogger.

The time has come to ditch my utterly worthless webhost, GoDaddy, for an ostensibly better one. GoDaddy has shown their worthlessness fleetingly over the past year from denial of service attacks to their frequent database mismanagement, all in all adding up to several days of lost work. Their revolting ineptness peaked this last week. GoDaddy recently fiddled with the configuration of their FTP servers effectively denying me all access to the files on wyDay.com.

This latest gaff on GoDaddy’s part comes at a particularly bad time for me – I was in the process of releasing the InstantUpdate Release Candidate. This release will fix huge problems in both the designer and the client, while also having enough stability to be used in production environments. I’ve spent so much time on it that I was dying to put up some screenshots of it – it’s that nice to look at and use. Alas, GoDaddy has foiled my plans; three months of work in the making has been delayed by GoDaddy’s idiocy.

Once I change from this lousy webhost I’ll release the latest version of InstantUpdate. Until then, I’ll continue to pound away at my code.

Stay tuned for the continuing saga.
