Hard Work
Wednesday, May 16th, 2007
It’s not hard to realize that starting a company is hard work — it just is. And I’m doin it. It’s incorporated, a real corporation, with prototypes and models and a business plan, and it’s going somewhere. Probably somewhere you’ll never see, but somewhere none the less–it’s software for a specific industry where good interface design is a nonexistent far-off dream, so it’s a good niche to be in. I’ll update as I can.
Unfortunately all this hard work means that trisweb.com has been on the back burner. It’s always sort of been that way, if you haven’t noticed, and it probably always will, but just thought you’d like to know that posts may be fewer. However, I did just upgrade to Wordpress 2.2, so maybe that’ll be some incentive.
I’ll try to keep on working on Zenphoto, and I expect complaints to abound, but I just don’t have the time to give to it right now. Starting a company, you know. But I’ll try to set aside some time. The sub-albums management interface is a needed addition for a 1.1 release, following which it should remain stably usable for a while. We’ve got EXIF in SVN and I just saw a Google-maps geospatial view addition posted to Trac (thanks for that) which I’ll try to add. Point: I’ll keep making progress, but slowly, sorry as usual for the delay.
If you want to help out, keep submitting patches and improvements on Trac, and if you get involved enough I’ll then give SVN commit privileges so the project can stay active even when I can’t give it time. Thanks to everyone who supports it, it’s been a real pleasure working with all of you so far, and I hope it will continue into the future in some manner.
Until next time, enjoy life
