There is so much stuff going on, I’m not even sure where to begin.
If you missed it, yesterday’s April Fools Day activities went off quite well. Thanks a bunch to skippy, moeffju, and chrisjdavis for helping out and playing along.
Also, I’d like to apologize to all the WordPress users who found the ForkPress link on their Dashboards yesterday. I was really tired when I entered the post, and I hadn’t intended to tag it “WordPress” when I was scanning through the text. I hope it was entertaining just the same.
Obviously, part of the plan is to use ForkPress as a jumping point to announce the Habari DR release. We’ve gotten the code wrapped up to a point where we’d like to have some other developers see what we’ve done so far. We want people to start playing with Habari, see what it can do and what it lacks, and continue to make the software better. All of the sites in yesterday’s joke were running Habari, and we did production and setup of all three entirely on Saturday. Most of the work was getting the logos and photos together - Habari installation was a snap, as expected.
This release isn’t for production use (although you are reading a Habari install in production currently), but it is the first release available to users outside of source control. That is, you can download it as a zip or tgz file.
Oh, and there’s more on my plate after this weekend’s shuffling the software out the door and getting the AFD stuff online…
I’m going to Los Angeles tomorrow for work. I’ll be in town all week. I don’t know what my free time is like, and I don’t have a car. I don’t know what that means. Are there people in L.A. who want to chat about Habari? I hope I can escape the $work$ for a few hours here and there, though I expect they’ll be locking me in a closet with my notebook the whole time I’m there.
So I’ll be away from home until Saturday. Easter is Sunday - there’s much family planning there. And then on Monday, Berta leaves for Atlanta and her $work$ for a few days, leaving me alone at home with the kids.
I shouldn’t report being alone with the kids on this blog because then people might get wise and send over social services. Popcorn for lunch! Pizza for every other meal! Bed time at 3am!
Berta’s birthday is Wednesday. I have no idea what to do about that.
And I guess that’s all I can talk about for now. Hopefully have more stories for you from LA. I hope the hotel has wifi, or it’s dialup via bluetooth via cell for me.
