Beginnings of an art gallery - An update

So, the fine folks over at ImageKind are still working on getting the images out to my gallery. Apparently the person in charge of migrating images from the FTP server to the gallery is out sick currently, but will get on it once they are back. I'm hoping this is soon, as I wanted to try and get this up and going a lot sooner than we're looking at right now.

In other news, I'm hoping to have a few more pieces done and ready to send their way shortly. I've been perusing my archives to see what I had stashed away to bring to the table if and when i decided to sell some of my works and have found a few pieces that I think are post worthy.

I've also got a few irons in the fire with regards to the written word, so we'll see what comes of those as well. I'll keep you posted on those as well. Plan for eBooks, possibly print media, but unsure. If print media, lulu.com is a happy happy vendor and I will probably abuse them. ;P

Tomorrow Comes a Day Too Soon

"The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails." Wm. Arthur Ward.

Today, I had to adjust the sails.

My work on the iPhone / iPod Touch App still moves forward and it will continue to into the future. I will now also be moving forward on some additional fronts. From here on, you will be seeing other things appear in this space that are not computer or development related, but may still be of interest.

I've been forced into a need to quickly diversify my trades a bit and will be trying to get some art and music work up for sale, as well as my development side of things. My artwork is mostly abstract and my music tends to lean into the experimental and trance genres.

I will now be using this space to showcase my artwork, music, as well as the development journals. I will more than likely be putting the actual works up for sale on places like Etsy or ImageKind.

Watch this space for things to come. Hopefully quickly.

Update: Design

Working on design this week for the iPhone / iPod Touch application.

I've gotten a good chunk of the requirements hammered out. Hopefully I'll be able to get the UI design fleshed out and figured out next week and get the MVC stuff started. This all hinges on me getting myself through the examples on Core Data either over the weekend or early in the week next week though.

Snow Days. ;P

So, I've taken the past couple of days off. I've been lax in my learning and experimenting in Xcode and Objective-C. See, there's been this blizzard that hit Denver, didn't know if you all heard. So, I've been lazy. That is, when I haven't been shoveling snow, playing with the kids, or listening to amazing music or writers do readings live.

All that being said, hopefully in the next few days, I'll be getting back into the swing of things. Same plan as before, OO concepts next, then something called CoreData which I hear is Apple's happy data access technology, then serious work on design patterns, and then moving on into wiring up UIs to rich objects.

Anyway. Fun stuff. Probably to start back up on Monday. Right. Have a great rest of the weekend guys and gals.
