New Twitter Followers

I’ve seen an upswing in Twitter followers lately. Welcome y’all. Is this a sign that Twitter’s gaining even more popularity now, or is it just that I’ve become more interesting?
I’m now in the process of trying to keep 3 blogs up to date. This one, the company one over at industryinteractive.net and the development blog for Mailmanagr. I’ll try to Tweet updates for all of them.

Well, this being my personal blog, I’ll talk about personal stuff, like how the weather was absolutely amazing this weekend and I was able to make some good headway on the deck-rebuild project. I’m determined to be able to sit ocean-side this summer….

The kids and I went to the park this afternoon, and had a great time. I’m trying to teach them a little self-sufficiency in their play, instead of “daddy, come lift me to the top of the slide”, I’m trying to get them to think about how to get up there themselves (the can, they’re just lazy sometimes).

I’ve been putting in a lot of billable time lately, as well as trying to keep on top of some side projects. Mailmanagr is quite a fun project to work on, but I’ve hit a snag in my hosting (which should be resolved later this week). Regardless, I’m hoping to have a beta out by the end of the week. In my continuing quest to bend 37signals’ APIs to my will, I’ve got a fully-functioning task synchronizer between Highrise and Basecamp… only because of limitations on the Highrise API, I can’t generalize it enough to make it useful for other people as well (I have to statically set certain things, which sucks).

Rachel started working at the bakery last week, and seems to be enjoying her time out of the house (grown-up time!) She’ll be doing a full 20 hours this week, so hopefully I’ll be able to balance the work I need to get done with her time away. Worst case scenario is that it will mean a few late nights… oh well!
