5.0 Redux

1. 5.0 Redux

   #1

   It is top secret, but I am over a week into a rabid and rapid refactoring. No holds barred. Everything must go.
   
   I am going total Fight Club on the website.
   
   

   Hitting bottom isn't a weekend retreat. It's not a goddamn seminar. Stop trying to control everything and just let go! LET GO!

   
   
   We will be hitting bottom and building from the ruins I create.
   
   Why am I telling you this? I want you to feel fear. The fear that a platypus has when it gets lost in the kitten room of a local animal shelter.
   
   Also, change seems to freak people out here. I wanted to provide at least a small warning that Armageddon is coming and there is nothing that can be done to stop it.
   
   Also, to make sure you knew I am very much here and very much involved in destroying all you hold dear about the Citadel. That came out wrong. I just meant that I am here even though I don't have the "appearance" of being active. I am like a ninja pirate attacking your fortress without you knowing...then suddenly it is different and missing all the valuables.
   
   While I want you to take that cold fear and work it around your mouth like a cherry slurpee, also know that we will rebuild from the destruction. We will put back the pieces that we want and need in a better format and a more organized manner.
   
   

   It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.

   I know it is has been quiet. That is a good thing.
   
   All my energies have been going towards the rework. My long weekend was taken by some good news in a fortunate, unfortunate way. I am newly an Uncle again so family has attacked our region to welcome the new princess. We just happen to live a couple hours from them so we are an easy rest stop for them...and they stay....and it is my princess' birthday this weekend so all is lost.
   
   However, I am sooooo close. I WILL reveal whatever I have on Halloween and all will hopefully be more clear. Not going to spill the beans yet, but the website redesign is only the beginning of things that will be quickly be changing...for the better!! Patience.....my precioussssssssss. All will be revealed on October 31.

   In a spit of inspiration based on a stout drink. I have decided to create a release cycle based on the full moon and the crazies.
   
   However, based on another drink, I realized I would never remember when that is.
   
   So, after another shot, I decided that the last day of the month will be the feature release of whatever I am working on that month. So, on Oct 31, release 1 will come out. Then Nov 30 will be the next and so forth. Any bug fixes will be immediate but new features will be released with a formal announcement and a more or less kinda maybe a tutorial of some sort.

   Got a lot done in the last few days. Probably finish the viewing page design Sunday then get the code working through the week. That will give me an extra weekend to work the ebook page perhaps or just fully polish the viewing page for beta release on Oct 31.
   
   Coming along! Excited to share it!

   Even having the flu this weekend, still got some stuff done.
   
   Phase I of the typeahead search update was a big success.
   
   Not as far as I wanted to be by now, might take an extra couple weekends to get it fully operational. But it is moving along and you will see how far I got soon enough.
