Infinite Streams

Life Happens

Today’s been one of those days best summarized by a list. Nothing very exciting or prose-worthy occurred today. Woke up late, slept for something on the order of 12 hours. I’m finally starting to feel like more than a code-hacking, UI-designin...

iRooster 2.1 is coming, and it’s going to be really friggin’ cool. I wasn’t intending to make my next release a big deal (it was just going to be 2.0.4), but I was seized by a strong desire to implement a feature…which lead itself to another featu...
