brew manager development blog

Total bullshit. I’ve have not even checked if brew manager runs on my development system after getting rails happy. I’m planning on taking a week off in December (several actually, but only one related to brew manager) and devote it to working full time on brew manager. Hopefully the ability to focus will be good for it and me. My wife will be working and the kid will be in day care. So I should have at least a week, possibly more to devote full time to brew manager.

I’ve started to poke around with iPhone development as well. One of the things I’ve realized is that we use iPhones a lot when we are brewing to lookup recipies, update / read our wiki etc. This will not be my main focus, especially considering the site doesn’t really work for anyone besides me yet. But I do think it will be a fun and interesting thing to work on in the future.

I’m headed out to Zurich on Saturday for our European Sales Engineering (I think that’s what SE means) rotation. I’ll be talking to them about the thing I do for my day job. So…. at least one more week brew manager will be on hiatus. But I’m at least at the point where I want to do it. Hopefully soon want will turn to need and time will allow.

I’ve been out of town again, and when I’m in town I’ve been distracted with a few things that have pushed brewmanager to the back burner again. Tonight I’m back in force and ready to get started on it again. The layout is still pretty ugly, but its serviceable to make sure I’ve got the back end working the way its supposed to. My current plan is to look into why things fail when we are running at dreamhost but they work when I’m running them on my laptop.

So… off to it then.
