Catching up

Published on June 4, 2010 in Development and Life. 0 Comments

A week of absence is a cruel thing: I’m still catching up on things I would have already done if I didn’t go to LGM :) But the event was such a delight that it’s unthinkable not to have attended it. So right now out goes Luminance HDR 2.0.0 review, the next thing is likely to be LGM report (already in works) and then there is some interesting stuff in plans, quite connected to my talk at the conference.

Somewhere between last and this week LGW was actually started (the official announcement was made in early August 2009). The existing disproportion between amount of news and tutorials is quite annoying, so there will be more tutorials and reviews and probably less news covering minor software releases. I’m also hoping to be done with new design in the coming month, because honestly, things that are made as temporary always do their best to stick forever, and no matter how hard you scrub… :)
