Reporting In!
It’s been a while, so I figured it was time to report in. So here I am, reporting in. Where has Frank been? What has he been up to? At the moment, my time is filled with 3 projects.
Rosy
Let’s start with the day job. I am working full-time at Floydware, building Rosy, which is a business application for salons and spas. It’s a scheduler, a POS system, an inventory manager, a client database, and a whole lot more. My role (at the moment) is designing/implementing user interfaces. This is a fancy way of saying that I’m working to make it more attractive and easier to use. My contributions are making their way into the codebase, but none of them are live yet. I’ll let you know when you can visit the site and see my handywork.
Project T
Project T has an actual name, but I’m not certain I have the authority to reveal it just yet. I’m working with a small team on a web application. I’m the interface guy, so my focus is again on making the app attractive and easy to use. This project is slated for launch at the end of the month, at which point I will divulge more info and a link.
Thickt
Thickt (pronounced “Thicket”, like a small bundle of trees and shrubs) is my personal project. It began as an attempt to better organize my other projects. I wanted to create a reference system that made it easy to track my thoughts and ideas on multiple projects. I also wanted to easily upload files and link to resources around the net. That simple project quickly spun out of control and became Thickt. Why Thickt? Because Thicket.com was taken, and (apparently) I make questionable decisions at 2:00 am. When will Thickt be done? Maybe soon, but maybe never. I have some neat ideas, and the prototype is shaping up well, but if I don’t finish it I’m not going to be too upset.
Other Projects
In addition to these, I’m also (sort of) working on a few other projects. The most notable of these is a MMORPG idea that Doc and I are developing. We’re still in the brainstorming phase at the moment, which is good because I don’t really have the time to devote to development. That said, this project is one I’m very excited about, and will (hopefully) become a bigger priority in the near future. But first, I have to get through February.
I’ll leave you with a music video. This song has been in my head for a little over a week, and now it can be in yours.
Enjoy that.
