whee. to say i'm excited about tabulas 1.0 would be a major understatement. this is my foray into the software world; no longer will i simply be a designer, i will also be a scripter (and a programmer, maybe).

I've run into a few ruts (regarding some user interface issues), especially in the gallery. ranking and "see next" are always a pain considering the overhead involved.

but it's coming along pretty well. i've gotten tabulas gallery 1.0 more or less finished (missing two key features). i've been working on tabulas journal 1.0 (the entries portion) today. i got backups completely done, and i worked a little bit on the auto-linking features for every entry. the backups will be in both HTML and XML-RSS format so you can easily port between standards-compliant scripts. The autolinking features are just there to make your life easier ... whee!

i got a lot of stuff done ... things are starting to look good. i think i might be able to wrap up journal 1.0 and move to tabulas style 1.0. that is going to be killer, but i've been busting my chops learning more powerful programming tools, so it should be relatively painless.

the hardest part, believe it or not, is switching the design of the admin panel to the new one. there aren't too many changes that YOU'LL see, but it'll be big for me. i'm a stickler for details, and every little pixel must be perfect or i'm not happy.

borst helped me move the audiomatch db from this server to my other server; this should help (in theory) to reduce some load off of this server. neeraj also contacted me and said that he has been working on a winamp3x plugin for audiomatch. pretty nice!

in any case, i really really cannot wait until tabulas 1.0. hopefully it'll rock your socks ... and then finally i can rest (well, not really ... gotta study for MCATS!)
