While the program to replace Photo Ops is not yet available, I am putting it one step closer today.  I am announcing the new website and name.  Everyone, I’d like to introduce

photoding

It’s pronounced photo- `ding.  The ding part is like you’re ringing a bell.  By the way, you can see part of the new website by clicking on the photoding logo or you could click here as well.  The main home page is not up yet and will not be until the release.

Ahh, I mentioned the release.  You can find the status of the release on the latest post at http://www.photoding.com.  This will probably be my last post about Photo Ops/photoding on this website.  I will keep this website though.

One week from tomorrow I’ll be taking off for an inventor’s conference to debut the new program to replace Photo Ops.  The program will also be entered in a contest as well.  So conference aside, there is still a bunch of stuff to do.  The website is probably 90-95% done – I’ve left some parts fairly skimpy to work on later.  After the website stuff, there’s still a little interfacing between the program and the website to finish up and also a pass through the user interface to put in the new logo.  Then that leaves for last minute bug fixes and small developments.  It’s going to be down to the wire, that’s for sure.  It’s still lacking some thorough testing, but my wife is thankfully available all week to do some of my errands and testing for me.

P.S. Go Ravens, go!

My apologies on not getting this out sooner.  I have ramped efforts now that I have the new logo and name of the program that will replace Photo Ops 2.0.  I’ve been busily working on the new website.  I’m not a website designer – so it will be very simplistic and use a lot of common components and layouts that I’ve scavenged from all over the internet.  Perhaps later, I’ll have someone professionally redo the website.  The website is probably 40-60% complete.

The program itself has been sitting for a while.  There is list of to-do’s that I need to work on after I’ve got the website done.  Now I have some flexibility on what I want to work on for each day.  I haven’t respun the user interface with the new logo and name yet.  Hopefully that will be done by the end of the week.

Finally, I’m still trying to get ahold of the lawyer to set up the business.  He said he’d be available after Thanksgiving, but I’ve not gotten a response yet.  I have a target release date in mind, but with it quickly approaching, I am unsure if everything will actually be done by then.  Thankfully, I have Christmas coming up so there will be some time off from work.
