Ahh, spring is here. The Red Sox have opened up, the tulips are coming out of the garden, and I’m making good progress on Serendeputy. We (believe it or not) are getting close.

I’ve built the servers out, and they’re up and running now, burning in and breaking in fun new ways. I knew nothing about systems administration, so it’s been a bit of a journey from bare Linux installs to fully-functioning (and even reasonably snappy) servers. My librarian application has been running for a couple of months, the deputy and memcached servers for a couple of weeks. I’m working on the rails application now, and futzing around with jquery. I’m on version 0.5 of the application, up to check-in 913 in Subversion, and up to Bug 171 in FogBugz.

I’m going to launch a private-invite beta starting with version 0.7. 0.8 will be the public beta, and I hope to be at 1.0 within a few months. After that, the world.

Thanks for keeping in touch. I’ll write more soon. (Especially about the imploding newspaper industry. I’m not an insider anymore, but I still know how things work. It’s as if the NAA has turned into a giant suicide pact.)
