Harmony Update
Things have been silent on this here blog because Steve and I have been making ridiculously awesome progress on Harmony. We are actually less than a week away from our first deploy and only a few weeks away from running OrderedList.com in Harmony.
Yep, you heard it here first. We are actually going to be able to demo this thing at SXSW in a few weeks. Exciting! Tonight, we spent some time showing it off at our local Ruby group meeting and it went pretty well. Below is a rather blurry picture of Harmony projected onto the wall at the meeting.
Some Stats
Harmony is currently hosted in a private repository on Github, so I used Github’s API along with HTTParty to generate some stats. Below is the number of commits by month to the repo, which is a general indication of the intensity on our part. If you are curious about the code, it is nothing special, but you can find it here.
| Month | # of Commits |
|---|---|
| June 2008 | 99 |
| August 2008 | 2 |
| September 2008 | 16 |
| October 2008 | 28 |
| November 2008 | 3 |
| December 2008 | 0 |
| January 2009 | 122 |
| February 2009 | 129 |
| March 2009 | 17 |
As you can see, we were pretty sporadic with Harmonious Fridays from June to December. We noticed that in January and decided it was time to spend more time on Harmony. Since January, you can see a massive upswing in activity. Heck, we already have 17 in March (only 2 days).
I’ve been working on Harmony full time since mid-January and Steve has been putting in extra hours on top of client work. Speaking of client work, we have some cool projects that we need to post about. I’ll make a note to myself to get that done in the next couple weeks. That is all for now. Hope a blurry photo and a promise of work being done is enough.
If you are heading to SXSW, find us (twitter should work) and we’ll give you a demo. We didn’t get conference passes, but we’ll be in town from Saturday to Tuesday enjoying the night life. :)
