Me: Update

posted on december 9, 2004, tag: me

Films: We shot a short vignette piece that we'll be editing tonight. It's not a film, it's just a funny little thing we did while working on writing other stuff. Speaking of writing, there are several things in the works right now. It's always hard to talk about what's coming up because most of the time if we're actively shooting or editing something we don't want to ruin it and if we're still writing there isn't enough concrete material to describe. Suffice it to say that we're going to be making many more films this coming year than we have this year.

It's always hard to focus on something that has to be done in your free time after working a full day, but the time for complaining has come to an end. We're both writing a lot more again and we've got lots of ideas developing. I feel like there isn't enough time in the day. We'll have to use whatever time we can find.

Web: This site has obviously been ignored over the past week or two. That's just the way it is right now. December is always a rough month for weblogging for me. Between Christmas, work, film stuff and some freelance work there isn't much time for posting worthwhile content to the site. See Also has been pretty active because it's easy to update and doesn't involve me writing anything. I suggest you subscribe to that archive's feed as well so you are sure to see when I add items.

I've also been working on a few freelance projects. I can't say much about them now because they're not finished but there's one in particular you'll see in a week or two (Mathew helped out quite a bit by taking a logo idea I had and perfecting it, and I owe him big-time). It's rough to try to fit freelance work in near Christmas but it helps quite a bit when buying presents for people or making car payments so such is life.

A few people have asked me lately when I'll be releasing my source code. I recently realized it might not be worth my time or effort. While it would be nice to make some money for all the work I've put into my site, something tells me not too many people would buy it. The pricing model I had decided on was accurate, I think, but would probably scare most people away. I don't know. I'm still thinking about it.

xPad: Yes, xPad is still alive. It's just very slow going. Look for a pretty massive feature addition in early January. Can't be more specific at this point. It's coming, though.
