Newness for Halloween

Halloween Decorations

So it’s been the usual crazy busy around here since I last posted. As you can see by my photo (courtesy of my iPhone) I have put up a few Halloween decorations, marking the first holiday we’ve decorated for at our new place. I admit it’s a little lame, but I’m also short on Halloween decorations, but far from short on Christmas decorations. I will probably post a photo of that when the time comes (which isn’t too far off, woo hoo!).

In the world of development, Local Sounds has been taking top priority as we are getting closer and closer to releasing the wiki, the store, a new Local Sounds site, and an updated MadCityTube.com! All before Christmas (and Thanksgiving hopefully!)!! So if you were wondering about any progress on the widget (oh you know where this is going..hmmmhmm), I regret to say it hasn’t seen any change. November or December should see some progress though, and an updated version.

Also, the best and biggest news of the week: Mac OS X Leopard comes out tomorrow! It looks to be great, and there’s been plenty (and all) good reviews this week from critics who received advanced copies. Now the only thing I want to double check is, will the Gruvsonic widget work on it??? We’ll find out!

Lastly, I’ve finally found the time to update my Portfolio page! Check it out for a handful of other client sites that I’ve done. Enjoy. :)

Happy Halloween!

Holy Widget-Wiki Batman!

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

Holy crap have these last couple of weeks been nuts!  Things are actually looking up for Local Sounds.  Things are starting to be put into motion, making our efforts appear as if they might actually be paying off!

The wiki is due for release at the beginning of October.  Right now it’s in beta testing with some of our faithful newsletter subscribers.  But what no one knows (until now in this blog post) is that we have another newbie right around the corner at the beginning of November too!  This new service will definitely will be a nice addition to the wiki, plus it will be perfect timing for its first Christmas season, but that’s all I’m going to tell you now.  (I know, you’re probably yelling $@#& at me right now!!)

Also, I will be helping a friend of mine publish a guitar lesson and theory book that he put together a couple years ago.  We finally found the perfect resource to help make it happen.  More on this as it develops at a later time.

And finally, the radio widget hasn’t seen a lot of updating lately, but once I get back to it I know it won’t be long before we release version 1.1!  I’m looking to get this up and ready to go during mid-October, so you’ll be able to listen to your Halloween dance tracks on the new version. :)  That’s the goal for now, but I’ll keep my fingers crossed until it happens for sure!  Also, if you have any suggestions or feedback for areas of improvement or additions to the widget, please list them in the comments of this post.

Until next time. :)
