I just wanted to give a quick update on what is coming down the pike in the near future. I know I have been silent lately with blog posts, something which I don’t like. I do tend to post a good amount from Twitter, so if quick updates are what you want, check there. I was in Portugal last week with my fiance, so if you want to check out some of the pictures, head over to my Flickr page.
Website stuff – I don’t have any major plans/changes in mind for this site. I am pretty happy with the layout, I feel it fits everything well. I do need to update content site wide, as some things are outdated and need more info added.
MTG – While in Portugal I tested out my 2 decks and got a good idea of what I need to change. I don’t plan on changing anything until after Magic 2010 comes out, but with the current spoilers out, I have an idea of what I want. I really think Red will be making a big comeback and I am interested to see what 1oth edition cards will be left out of M10. The rule changes are going to have a huge impact, but just like when 6th edition came out, people will complain. It will just take some time to get use to everything. I trust WOTC and their judgement. I still haven’t gotten to any local FNM or tournaments but I feel my decks are good enough and I know the rules enough.
Apple – A lot has been going on in the Apple world lately. Recent reports confirmed that Steve Jobs had a liver transplant, so lets hope he gets better. I am glad to see that he went through the normal transplant process and didn’t get one for being a celebrity. The new iPhone launched with its share of activation issues, what’s new right? It seems like a great device and I am sure it will smash records just like the other models. I have been using my iPod touch a lot, playing a lot of games and such. I plan to write up some reviews for the site sometime soon.
Maintenance – Even thou Maintenance hasn’t been updated in over a year, it continues to average 2000+ downloads a month. I am still toying with ideas on what to do with Maintenance, what to update, etc. I want a new interface and a progress bar but I lack the time to learn how to code all that. Another idea I had was to actually scale the program back, making it have less options and make it more automatic for simple use. Think of, deploy the software and run it without having to choose what to do, knowing it will take care of your issues. I also want to try and make an iPhone application that might do the same thing, but I need to research the iPhone platform to see if that kind of application might even be needed.
Again, things will start up again, I just need to get motivated and catch up on other things. Life is pretty damn busy these days.
