CHANGES
I don't know if you read the changes file in the previous version,
so I will summarize it. I sold my home in Santa Barbara, and moved
to a small town in Northern California to concentrate on writing
shareware full time. Well (you may ask), how's it going.
I'm afraid that I underestimated a few things. I moved to a 2 1/2
acre parcel. For the last twenty years, I've lived in apartments
and condominiums (no land to take care of). I spent my summer
taking care of one current and one potential erosion problem, doing
some landscaping projects, and learning how to garden again. All
of this involved moving (I have a bill for 23000+ pounds of dirt) a
few tons of rocks and dirt (among other things). My wife and I
found that the house we moved too was just too small. Plus we
found that we really missed having a garage. So of course we
decided to add on to the house. The addition now has a roof, and
it's about 1/3 finished on the outside. It will be my first three
car garage.
Now, one of the prime reasons in moving here was to keep my
overhead low. Well (as you can probably guess), that has not been
the case. To pay for all of this, I had to go back on the
consulting trail. Well, I still haven't paid for all of it (and
won't for a long time), so I will still be accepting consulting
contracts for a while.
With the advent of winter (first time that I've had seasons in
about 15 years), things are slowing down. I'm down to one
consulting job that should be finished soon, so I finally have time
to get back to working on my shareware projects.
I had planned to have a major new 2.0 release with pull down menus,
selections from reboot (actually a separate, but connected,
program), and other nifty stuff finished by now (insert a long
Heavy Sigh at this point). I figure it will take at least two
months of dedicated effort to get version 2.0 in the state that I
want it, so I decided to incorporate the changes and enhancements
that have been most requested by my registerees into the current
version, and create this 1.4 release. If my plans don't go wrong
again (insert long look Heavenward at this point), version 2.0
should be out about Christmas.
Along with everything else, my plans for a BBS to support my
products has also been delayed. It probably won't happen till next
year. I'll try to make it sooner, but no promises.
I love the place I've moved to (and I'll love it even more when the
construction is finished). I thank you very much for the support
you have given to AUTOCON, and for giving me the incentive to
change careers.
