Academic pursuits

Posted by matt, Sat May 03 05:03:00 UTC 2008

Throughout the last couple of months I’ve been busily working on finishing the my university degree. It has been a long time coming, though thoroughly enjoyed. So come the end of the year I will be changing from one stage in my life to another. I’ll graduate from Swinburne. And there was thunderous applause.

My pursuits will still remain academic due to the direction that Reformed Software is taking. That direction is one of service to the Academic community through the writing of software that aids in studies. The first way in which this service is being accomplished is with Scribere a note taking application for podcasts and vodcasts. Talking to an academic today at Swinburne, after asking what I was up to and the subsequent disbelief that I was still a student, he loved the idea of Scribere and was impressed about the development thus far. He also provided some much needed usability input at that stage.

How does this square with my faith? Reformed Software is still a Christian software development company, and by God’s grace it always shall be. The difference is that it isn’t obtusely so.

Further the tagline for Reformed Software will change, though what it embodies will still be present.

God bless, Matt.

The fun continues

So, it has been a long time since I last posted here. Even longer with my personal blog.

Things just seem to be getting busier and busier, which results in little time to blog and let people know just what is happening. First big news "The King is dead! Long live the King!". Roughly translated, TheUnboundWord is no more. Instead, Scribere has taken its place. This is complete with a new website which is in the works as well as a more appropriate name. Scribere is Latin for 'to write' and fits the purpose of Scribere perfectly. The Beta (or Alpha) testing has been delayed by a couple of months. This is due to me not being comfortable with the level of usability in the program. Plus, I haven't done much in the way of documentation or administration work that I would like to get done.

Add to this, I've been working on a new website for Reformed Software and by the time Scribere hits 1.0, the new site will be in place. Until then, this humble blog will continue and much fun will ensue.

Currently I'm in the process of writing up business proposals and looking for venture capital to get things rolling. Once this comes through much will occur in rather rapid succession.

Until then, I will be posting once a week with the progress of development and also random thoughts about Software Development as pertains to Scribere and other projects.

 

God bless,

Matt.
