Its that time of year… Birdsoft will be on a family vacation in the Northern part of Wisconsin, so we won’t have much internet access! That’s Ok, that would get in the way of Fishing, Golfing, Poker, and Family Time!! So I will be back Next week energized and ready to go… Please see the FAQ sections for questions you may have.
Well, I haven’t made a “what are we doing” post in a while so I figured now is a good time for it. Here is the current plan for the rest of the year.
All-In
All-In is being worked on right now. We are finishing up our long overdue VGA support and already have done 320×320 support, and might even get in Widescreen handling in version 2.8. It also fixes a few things(our Graphics API finally came out with a version that fixes a couple small problems) and does some nice things with the buttons like Treo “Hard” Softkey and OK support and better Standard Device Back Support. Im hoping to have this released August 11-12th. So watch for Version 2.8 then…
And then getting to that point will make it much much quicker to get to VERSION 3.0. Which we want out by the Holidays! And it will be cool!!!!
The VGA graphics in 2.8 Look Great! Hi-Res is cool… And will be even cooler in 3.0!
Extreme Agenda
We really like Version 3.3 as it got us to where we want to be on the Pro Devices so now its time to tackle Version 4.0… Yeah, we cant tell you about that either but some of the stuff planned to go in are going to take it to a whole new level. You’ll be happy you are in the XA camp!! The plan is by the Holidays as well. We’ll see…
Other Applications
In the next couple weeks, after a 1 week vacation next week, not only will All-In 2.8 be out but we plan on updates to make PokerTimer, The Dog Ate It, and ListWatch more WM5-WM6 friendly. It should be very short projects although The Dog Ate It will likely get a VGA update and a few other things as well, so that might take just a little longer.. And Extreme Text and FairwayWatch Desktop will also get updates hopefully in that timeframe. Some of this work has already been done, so…
So that is where we are at… Unfortunately we aren’t at the point where we can really start dropping feature hints and such for the 2 BIG releases, but with the new office we have new focus and some big plans. It should be a fun end of the year…
Thanks
Im in the new office. Very speedy move, took all of about 3 hours to tear down my glass L shaped desk and computers(the Mac Mini, Quad Core Vista, and Laptop and cradle) and move it to the new office.
The biggest problem was it appears that if you plug the KVM(a switch that lets you switch between 2 or more computer all using the same monitor, keyboard, and Mouse) back in in the opposite way, the monitors arent recognized the same so I had some driver/screen problems. Spent about 45 minutes of that ‘move in’ time on that last night… Well I tried switching the cords this morning, and Im back…
When doing the move I initially also spent some time moving my 8 years of emails over from Outlook Express on my home XP box to the Vista machine and Windows Mail. The ‘rules’ in Windows Mail should allow the program to do a lot of the sorting I do of orders and tech support and possibly some automated filling of orders without my help. Cool!
Should be interesting, Im sure Ill be much more productive, and a small drive home allows you to cool down at the end of the work day, and leave work at the office a little more… It should be nice…
Ok, back to work…
