Under-promise, Over-deliver #

Looks like Arlo over-hyped K after all, mainly because the main konfabulator.com server seemed to melt under the load til late this afternoon. Considering that ChainShot had around 6,000 downloads, I wonder how much the main app got. There were other launch issues too, some people seemed to have trouble installing, especially if they had moved their Documents directory. I started to compulsively answer questions in the forum (which means I'm in the top ten posters now) til Arlo woke up from his zombified state. Though that was fun and all, I should probably take a break, I've overstaturated my system with K stuff over the past couple of days.

Oh, and I tweaked NetPulse to support preferences for which window layer it should display at and for tab positioning (h/vRegistrationPoint and rotation are my personal enemies).

Spit 'n' Polish #

Final polishing today, so that I can release my widgets alongside K. No fun to make up two .dmg backgrounds, two about boxes, two icons, two readme's, two small previews and two large previews, but now it's all done. Still not sure if I should put stuff up on mscape.com; probably will, just not today.

Finishing Up #

Made up the ChainShot blobs, and a copy of 1.0fc2 that Perry sent me takes care of the lingering bugs that I had. Started to do a .dmg background for NetPulse and an icon too.

Blobby Stuff #

Arlo's too busy to finish up the tiles, so it looks like I'll be doing them myself. Assuming that I can set up some nice actions, 80 images shouldn't be too hard to handle. Also got version 1.0fc1 of K today, and it's still a bit flaky about shadow updates. I wish them luck, since they have to iron everything out by Monday.

Responsibility Shifting #

Got initial take on tiles from Arlo. Pretty, but still have issues, so more waiting on him. Also got early access to K 1.0b2, NetPulse has issues with updating, and shadow updating is still flaky (neither is my fault).

Chaining Things Up #

More work on ChainShot. Got stats, end of game messages, "connected" neighbors working. Sent off to Arlo to get pretty tiles.
