Exams are over. I will shortly be leaving the nest, so to speak, so things are getting reprioritized. As I will soon be commencing a degree in computer science, development of this blog, my old (Emptosoft) software, and possibly some new software, will be accelerating once again (I need to reacquaint myself with stuff). My preliminary targets (which will be added to, and possibly changed) are:
1. Significantly develop the admin system for this blog (the current system is really just a skeleton - each admin can submit posts, and edit or delete his/her own posts). More information will be given to the admins in due course.
2. Generally improve the blog. As you may have noticed, I've started already: the default number of posts has gone down from 15 to 5 (I did, stylishly, just change one number in my core settings). This lower number of posts should make the blog load faster - especially on dial-up connections, which I noticed that I was slowly abandoning. I have also enabled emoticons in the 'latest comments' section of the sidebar - something that has brought to my attention the fact that I need better emoticons, with transparency.
3. Release the Emptosoft Download Manager through the Program Management System! I never really did finish making the necessary modifications to the multi-user system. This could take a while, as I'll have to bring myself up-to-date with any changes to NSIS, recompile some of my plugins, and generally move loads of stuff between computers too.

While I'm "leaving the nest", I will not have time to post. Rest assured that I will come back with a post offering pictures and videos demonstrating the quality of the HTC Touch Diamond's camera.

Anyway, the current admins are generally splitting to do their own things. They might post, they might not. I might recruit new admins at some point - perhaps in a month, perhaps in a year. While I decide which people become admins, ultimately it's all dependent on others.

Actually, I might make a change to the category system on this blog too. I feel that this post should, as well as being in the blog category, be my last post in the school category and the first post in the university category. In fact, while typing thost last two sentences, I've worked out how the multiple category system is going to work...
