One more project done

I have completed my latest project, sports.popit.com.au. it's a Social News site targeted at Aussie sports. I also have plans to do Aussie gossip, news, and financial sites based upon the same code, but want to move on to something else for the moment while I see how that site goes for a few months.

The next project I'm doing is in the social network space. I'm starting with a prototype using the Mac OS X Xcode environment. I could do the project in Java/Swing, but I feel like learning Objective-C and Quartz, plus I like the look better than Java. More updates in the next few weeks.

For Jasmine

This is a totally unrelated post, especially for my beautiful daughter jasmine, just in case she ends up reading my blog way off into the future (she's only 3 atm).

Jassy, I love you so much. You make me laugh, you make me cry; you bring my world to life with your giggles, kisses and questions. I am so glad that you are my daughter, and I can't imagine how wonderful it will be watching you grow up. I love you with all my heart.

And to my wife Marla, just in case you're reading this too, know that without you I am nothing, you are truly my soul mate and I'll love you always <3

I'm the luckiest guy on the planet.

Almost finished

Most of the functionality for my social news site has been finished ... at least those features targeted for launch. there's still a bit I want to do, but I want to get it out the door and rolling before I go too mad adding stuff. It's a pretty slick site, and it's really only taken me a few hours over two weekends plus a few more hours over three nights in between. I think that by next weekend it should all be sorted and live.
