ironing our pants into the universe

I've been working on Sux0r again.

Since I got back from Finland, where I took care of my baby girl while my wife did her art project, I've been hanging out in various 514 cafés coding for various projects; both personal and professional. Because of the baby this is sort of a year off. In a few weeks we're going to Sapporo to see my in-laws. Baby parade 2011.

I hope to release Sux0r 2.2 before next weeks' ConFoo conference. I'm upgrading to Smarty 3, replacing Prototype/Scriptaculous with jQuery-UI, doing minor code cleanup, and including a new skin based on ShieKasai.Com. This isn't trivial but won't result in any new features. Ideally, I'm laying the groundwork for contributors to take a second look at the project.

In case it wasn't obvious, I'm also the same conner_bw from Renoise. That's the business card i'll be handing out at ConFoo. Not really web, but the Lua Scripting API and the nerdiness of Renoise might appeal to some? Whatever the case, I have business cards with my renoise email on 'em so that's what you're getting.

I'm looking forward to the conference.

A bunch of CVS changes fixing several caching issues were checked-in over the weekend. I'm going to keep slugging away at the code while I wait for a few more translation files. If all goes well "2.0 final" should be the next release. If any of the contacts who emailed me about translation are reading, it'd be great to get them before next week.

In non-sux0r related news: I will be attending TikiFest Montreal 2008 next month. I'll be checking out Jerusalem In My Heart and Survival Japanese Cooking at the MAI. And i'll be working on some music for the Renoise 2 Beta Music Competition in my spare time.
