Much to say, so little time

I've been meaning to write something here for the last month or so but it's been quite difficult to find time for anything. My free time's been mostly used to work on pLog, up to the 1st of April trying to get the final 1.0 release ready and after that, supporting new users upgrading to the new release as well as all the new users that have joined our community. It's been a bit exhausting... There have been like over 100 posts per day in the forums and sometimes users are very annoying because they never read the docs (98% of them never, never really read any docs) and expect us to solve every problem for them. Nice.

In the meantime, at least we're getting some recognition. We got articles about the final release in freshmeat.net, newsforge.com, barrapunto.com and many more sites that I can't remember... which is good because our main goal at the moment is to attract people's attention, as much as possible. The great folks atopensourcecms.com also updated the demo version of pLog to the final 1.0 release and they're even going to run an interview with us as "developers of the month", or something like that :)

But I am starting to think that we might have even generated too much attention. So much, that even Jeff Barr from Amazon.com's Web Services team wants to talk to me... But I think I already know what they want to talk about. This looks like the hot topic of the next few weeks!

Sometime soon I will post a few pics about my experiences in Moscow (it was very nice, but it is a massive city!), my life in Mac-land after a year, etc. If you can't wait for me to write something and you speak Spanish, somebody's blogging again. And with a nice page design :)

    I hadn't notice the article in barrapunto.com but I have readed now and I have saw your dialectial war with some people that comment the article. You did a great work, and it's very stupid to talk about program size, when the actual hosting minium size is about 15 megs or more.

    I'm waiting your moscow photos!

    Primero felicitarte por el buen trabajo de la versiÛn 1.0 de pLog, espero que mantengas la ilusiÛn por mejorarlo dÌa a dÌa.

    En cuanto a tu blog en castellano, el diseÒo es alg?n template disponible en la p·gina de sourceforge de pLog?

    Fibercool,

    preg?ntale a Francesc, no a mÌ, ya que es su bit·cora y no la mÌa :)

    Hola fibercool,

    Como bien dice Oscar ese es mi blog y no el suyo. Quiz·s te hayas confundido porque compartimos hosting. Estoy acabando algunos detalles de la plantilla y cuando este terminada harÈ una derivada oficial para el proyecto, dejame tu email si quieres que te avise cuando este lista y sino ves mirando de vez en cuando mi blog que ya pondre alg?n artÌculo del tema.

    Es verdad, vaya lapsus mental :) solo me fije en que era el mismo dominio y por eso pensÈ que seria el suyo, y eso que los vuestros nombres son diferentes!... en fin, ya he agregado tu blog a mi lector de feeds. A ver si la terminas pronto que tiene muy buena pinta ;)
