A short break…
Once again, delays have creeped into my “Vagueware will take over the World” schedule, but this time for a good reason: honest.
The server this site (and the new wiki) is hosted on is being moved between two data centres and will be down for about 24 hours later this week. In addition, I need to move them both off onto a different physical machine in the next few weeks anyway, so I want to get all this moving done before I start ramping up activity.
The good bit is that because I’ve put more time into thinking through the next stage, I realised it might be useful to have a couple of half-completed applications to play with at the beginning. I now have a couple of really nice applications focused on aggregation, but with a twist. Each of them has the potential to use for experiments that could develop into interesting research exercises, and I hope to release code before the end of the month – I don’t rule out changing my mind on this just yet though. Once again, “the project” has taken a bit of a turn but one for the better I hope.
Also, I’m giving a talk on “Mystery Ruby” (read: I haven’t finished deciding what goes into the talk) this Tuesday at the NWRUG in Manchester.
Lastly, whilst I’m doing house-keeping, I have had an invite – and plan to attend – Hack Day next month. I’m hoping by then that the new wiki’fied Vagueware will be already picking up a bit of steam and I will be trying to get people interested as I write my “hack” over the course of a day and night.
