Blog hiatus

by Jack Hughes on February 2, 2009

My posting activity has been a little light of late… and there is a very good reason for that, I’ve been busy writing some software. Writing software is kinda like the powerful spell in Rincewind’s mind in Terry Pratchett’s book The Colour of Magic, it will prevent everything else from occupying your brain.

Anyway, the software in question is PowerTime. It is now nearing completion and should be available as a first beta real soon. I need to complete some more unit tests, mainly to test use in a multi-threaded environment, and complete and test the installer.

Hey Jack,

I didn’t know you were a Pratchett fan too!

Good luck with the project.

For my sins, I’ve only read four books so far. I am looking forward to the rest though… in fact I’m kinda savouring them and trying not to read them too quickly.

According to ohloh, I’ve done 10,000 lines and I’ve probably got the same again to do…
