I just released 3.0.2, which includes a shiny new Spanish Country plugin and translation, courtesy of Roberto Aragón and Charo Baena. Thanks, guys! It’s now available for download on github.

I’ll be updating the main site later today.

I found a few hours while I was in Key West, Florida this last week to read up on Backbone and do some experimentation. This is the result: http://benkeen.github.io/spirograph/

It’s a simple little app to generate spirographs. I know, scarcely original, but I always liked Spirographs + wanted to see how the math works. Turns out it’s frickin’ hard.

Warning: it’s buggy! Just a proof of concept. I’ll be returning to Vancouver in a couple of days and I’ll finish it up then.

I just updated generatedata.com. It includes a number of little bug fixes, and a new MSSQL option for the SQL export type, courtesy of Kent Chenery. Thanks, Kent!

I’ve been in Florida the last few days attending JSConf. It was just superb. I now have a long list of technologies and tools I need to investigate… *sigh*, never enough time.

But before I get to all that, I’ll be working on the following:
- setting up PHPUnit and Travis CI for generatedata.com
- working on a new Smarty/HTML/CSS/JS mode for CodeMirror
- relaxing and bird watching in Florida.

One more year! May 2014. Looking forward to it.
