It's all functional in a narrow use case +involving syncing to removable drives. + +[[progressbars]] still need to be dealt with, and network syncing needs to +be revisited soon, so that I can start building easy configurators for +further use cases, like using the cloud, or another machine on the local +network. + +I think I'm a little behind my original schedule, but not too bad, +and at the same time, I think I've built things rather more solidly than I +expected them to be at this point. I'm particularly happy with how well +the inotify code works, no matter what is thrown at it, and how nice +the UI in the webapp is shaping up to be. + +---- + +I also need to get started on fulfilling my Kickstarter rewards, and +I was happy to spend some time in the airport working on the main +blocker toward that, a lack of a scalable git-annex logo, which is needed +for printing on swag. + +Turns out that inkscape has some amazing bitmap tracing capabilities. +I was able to come up with this scalable logo in short order, it +actually took longer to add back the colors, as the tracer generated a +black and white version. + +With that roadblock out of the way, I am moving toward ordering large +quantities of usb drives, etc. + +[[logo.svg]] -- cgit v1.2.3
