It’s been about half-a-week since my last post was written and, I must admit, that I’ve been slacking off regarding the amount of time dedicated towards this site.  But there is a good reason for this!

I’ve been applying for a visa renewal, visiting a doctor for some heart problems, and working on Embink.  On top of this, I’m trying to get my hands into some rather juicy programming work on the side.  If I’m lucky, I might just find myself in a real programming role for the first time in over a year.  Well … that’s the goal, anyways.

I hope to have some more content posted in the next few days, with one such post being part of Shane’s Japan Blog Matsuri.

For the moment, I’m pushing to have a solid Beta of Embink available for download in the next week.  With the update to WordPress 2.6, I’ve found a few issues that were missed when testing with versions 2.1 through 2.5 and, while there aren’t too many differences between 2.5 and 2.6 in terms of RSS posting, there were a few extra tweaks required.  On top of this, I’m finding some issues when testing the application on Windows Mobile 2003 devices.  So, rather than release something I know is faulty as heck, I’d be a bit more comfortable getting the big things out of the way, then listening to the smaller issues and gripes as they’re posted to the download pages.

Hopefully I can keep up the momentum with my projects, as it looks like I might just have something of a direction to go in the near future.
