Joomla 1.5 is now officially "stable" (it has been for a few days, but we just noticed today). Some early poke-and-prod testing indicates it should be up to the task of being 10stripe's CMS. Expect to see more about this soon.

On a related note, I have to say I am extremely disappointed that Joomla 1.5 seems to have carried over the "use a table for everything" disease. The page source for the default homepage is a really impressive disaster. Hopefully we will be able to coerce it into doing the Right Thing.

Has it really been a month already?

This has been an inward-facing month for 10stripe. We finally changed web hosts on January 23, which seems to have gone fairly smoothly. All services have now been restored and everything should be working normally. A few minor issues are still being straightened out, but nothing to worry about.

The Bookshelf ads now display a much larger variety of content, on the "seeing the same ad over and over is annoying" theory. They also work on a more extensible system, which you don't care about but I do. There will hopefully be an announcement related to the Bookshelf within the next two weeks or so, but no promises.

We have a few large-ish projects quietly making their way to completion, but also some smaller things that should be done much sooner. We will be trying to bring some interesting hardware projects into the site, but the timeline on that is still not clear. The Big Processor Guide is once again up for a major expansion (for reference, the last such expansion increased its size by a factor of 4 or so) and general improvement. There are a variety of smaller things also bubbling up to the top, but those should give you some idea of where we are heading for the next month or so.
