This picture needs very few words to convey the wrongness of that billboard.

I’ve had alot on my sholders in the last few months and I’ve kept my head pretty well in the sand. I did not notice that on of the largest purveyers of manga on the net is shuttering online viewing of manga on their site. As of Aug 1st OneManga ceased distribution, it’s not how it was and probably shall never be again. Its a sad sad day for the scanlation community.

The iPad Application I was looking to inherit has lost it’s main source of manga. I’m unsure if every thing was hard coded for OneManga but I wont be surprised if it is. I feel that a project like this may need to be rewritten from the ground up.

I’m unsure if such an undertaking will be a beneficial one for me at this time. With that being said MangaPad is halting active development pending my findings of the nature of the app and how much needs to be reworked.

Schools starts again on Monday, I finally feel like I’m making some personal progress on my goals I have a few projects I want to see to fruition to test my mettle in real world scenarios.

I have one more personal goal to complete before I can remove most of the barriers that have been preventing me from achieving the success that I need to accomplish. Namely transportation eg I’m getting a motorcycle in a month.

While my GF doesn’t seem to keen upon the idea, I love it. Cycles are more gas efficient, have less car hassles like insurance and the like. While I will get insurance I find with my limited finances that car ownership would be cost prohibitive.

Maintenance, gas, insurance, tax, tittle, tag, plus the cost of the car makes my head spin!

For me to improve I must get my profits/pay up while keeping my expenditures/expenses down.

Way down.

I spend the lions share of my time in a state of transit. Almost 15 hours a week, that’s damn near a part time job!

I’ve just got my iPhone 4 last night and boy was I blown away. I’m an avid Technophile, and I love new tech and the exciting ways that we can put our new tech to use.

I was attempting to use Fring to do some video chat as I don’t know many people personally that have an iPhone 4 to FaceTime with.

It was somewhat of a trying experience, I think I had forgotten some of my logins for various I’m networks.

Growing frustrated I chose to try again later. However I had somewhat of an epiphany, roll my own!

That got me thinking about RIM and it’s secureness. Why not have a platform for secure communications?

Encrypted email, IM, and secure contacts, notes and all that other info.

Then BAM! P.C.M Personal Communications Manager, (I do love acronyms) another brainchild was born.

Please post your thoughts on if something like this would appeal to you or not. I’m in dire need of feedback.

I’ve never seen a baseball catch this damn good!

iTunes has an interesting book for free in the iBook store. MetaGame by Sam Landstrom – Download with iBooks.

I’ve been a little slow on the uptake lately. I’m still reviewing code for the manga viewer and I’m more focusing on my fanfiction saver. I’m not sure what my time frame for release will be but I think It maybe after 4.0 release for iPad.

Woot! Its all I can say right now. Xcode 4 has been released to the masses, (Paid ADC Members Only) and I’m guessing the NDA has been lifted. I sports a range of new features that are invaluable to Devs like Fix it, its kinda like auto correct for code with code sense it looks fantastic. Also IB has been integrated into Xcode, no more fooling around with multiple windows. Oh god you’ve just got to see it. Even though Im not a paid ADC member I’m trying to get a copy now.

There where a few tidbits about the new iPhone that came as a shock, the addition of FaceTime, however on Monday not much new information has been released. I’m still waiting for the iOS 4.0 dev preview for the iPad. why, my development efforts will be mostly centered on iPad development. I feel that the platform is much more robust and has just that little bit more potential than the iPhone.

It has begun! {insert mortal kombat theme song.} No really I feel i can get alot accomplished now that I have gotten my hands on an iPad. This weekend I’m just testing the device and getting used to it. Next week I will start playing with the new 4.0 SDK and seeing how things are going.

Of all the rotten damn luck. I’ve anyone has been to the site in the last 2 weeks they would have noticed that it is back online, but acting very strangely. I was having so many problems I felt the only way to go was to nuke the site and start over.

As luck would have it the old DB is backed up and I have the last 2 years of posts archived. It helped some when trying to restore order to the site. The vast majority of the site 07-08 have yet to be put into wordpress. I’ve switched CMS’s often over the years WP, Livejournal, Movable Type, Blogger, ExpressionEngine.. And I will say EE is the hardest to migrate away from. Its a little more obscure but it works nicely. However its somewhat complicated and convoluted. I love the software but the price and the steep learning curve push me away.

I’ve recently moved back to wordpress from EE 2.0, the move went as expected as most of my data is else where. So I have a long road ahead of me to get things back to where they were.
