Some news

Blogging is actually quite boring when you have
nothing to say, isn't it? 
Anyhow, LIST-VIEW is at 0.0.48, which was posted about two weeks ago. I'm not going to make a blog post on that, as you can read the history file on it here as always.
I'm working on a pretty big application now that I hope I can begin selling sometime in 2007 or perhaps 2008, so this is taking up my full time now. Of course this application is made in REBOL, which goes to show that even REBOL in its current incarnation is good enough for major applications.
Why will it take so long to make? It's REBOL, isn't it? Well, the thing is I want it done right and that will make things take a long time, designing the GUI, getting details right and thinking up features requires even more time.
In order to begin selling it, I will need to get the REBOL/SDK to make executables. I can't afford it right now, so I'm going to start selling the application to a few locals, who have shown great interest it. They will also work as a "test bed" to see if the application is working as desired. I'm getting lots of help in getting customers from a local salesman, so many thanks to him. This will help me to finance future development and also hopefully to bring up a server that will let me sell the application online, all through a REBOL powered website.
I've thought it out. There's a lot to do, but a plan has been made and I hope I can keep it. This is the few first steps of many, many steps that will make this system grow into something interesting that I hope people will use.
Well, what is it? I'm not going to say yet, but it'll help making certain difficult things very easy, and it's inspired by the Mac platform, although it's primarily going to be a Windows XP program.
Maybe this will turn out to be interesting, and if so, I'll keep blogging about it.
