Update:
The errors on the comments have been fixed. I use a plugin that displays favicons next to your name (if you put in a website while posting a comment). However, I didn’t have the plugin activated and had to allow it to scan all comments and attach icons. Note; if your icon doesn’t show next to your name then either 1; you don’t have one or 2; the url you use redirects to a directory and looks for the favicon in the domain directory (ex: If you put yourdomain.com but it redirects to yourdomain.com/blog and you post yourdomain.com, it will look for your favicon at yourdomain.com instead of /blog). I’m not sure why and will look into it.
The layout has changed on here again. This isn’t the full layout that I’m working on but I wanted to make a change from the one column before. This is actually a hacked version of the theme from before. I’m still working on a full layout but this will do for now. Nothing new really as I’m still catching up on things but hope to do something with this blog by August. I added my Pownce status along with Twitter. I thought that Pownce would take my Twitter time however there seems to be a need for both. Twitter is great for quick status updates through-out the day (which is what I do mostly of), however Pownce is good for detailed updates or when you want comments or trying to send something (love the link and file sharing). I also love the Twitter app that I use (Twitteroo) alot better then I like the Pownce App. If I could resize it down more or make it transparent it would help but it just seems so bulky and in the way (even with using dual monitors). Either way Pownce is still great and I just got more invites so anybody still looking for one just let me know and i’ll hook you up.
I have been spending a little time working on 2532|Gigs. Our next version (which is a feature release, v1.3) is full of new features (including custom fields, improved RSS, Facebook App, Y!WE Widget, WordPress Plugin, and more). We are hoping to release by August however today I just trashed the entire show_gigs include() (how you include gigs on your site) and plan to rewrite it. I started a little on it today but didn’t make much progress. I’m hoping to get time and get it done but since I’m trashing what I had and want to rewrite it, i’m not sure how long it will take. We have recently released a bug fix to our v1.2 branch so those using it make sure you upgrade. I’ve been looking at the future of the script and still have several features that we haven’t worked on yet but one that I have had in the back of my mind is a 2532|Gigs Lite. Basically it would be a stripped flat-file version of the script. We would drop some of the features but keep the main ones. Storing gigs, artists, venues, mini-calendar, RSS feed, etc. I know some people don’t use MySQL and this would give them the option of using our lite version. There is nothing set in stone as it would be some work to convert the script to flat file but by cutting back some features we could keep it pretty fast and light. Will have more on that later. We are also hoping to launch a new design for the 2532|Gigs website with the release of v1.3. I’ve been working on it a little but nothing major. Trying to come up with a new logo. We plan to keep the current Control Panel logo (done by Jay) but wanna give the website a new look mainly for the upcoming features and new plugins/web apps we are working on. In fact Nick is almost done with the 2532|Gigs Facebook App. He has a beta version that works great but working out a few minor things now. He should be releasing it soon. I’ve started on a widget for the Yahoo! Widget Engine that should be done after the next release.
We went to Texas on Monday and looked at houses and found one we loved in Burkburnet. We wanted Wichita Falls but Burk isn’t that bad (some of my family lives there). Its only about 5-10mins outside of The Falls anyways. The application was turned in on the house and we are waiting to hear about it. Its a nice 3 bedroom, 2 living areas, garage, big backyard, 1 1/2 baths, etc. Plenty of room. Hope to hear about it by the end of this week or next week.
