I know I said I'd have some pyrography info for you all today, but I made an executive decision to hold that off again to cover what could be the last major information come out about Version Vibrant. I'll have the pyrography stuff available next time I post.
First, we have a draft category coming. See Feature announcement #16 for all the details, but basically, you'll have a place to put rough sketches and unfinished works in progress, kind of like the Scraps section on DeviantArt if any of you out there are on dA.
Next comes the most major announcement that all of us members have been waiting for since late last year. We now have an announced launch window. Version Vibrant should be online within the next ten days. Adam posted the announcement this morning, so that gives it till March 2, 2008 to be running. Now the real waiting begins.
Here is my updated breakdown on site. Sorry, I didn't flag the new material this time, had some other coding issues that got in the way of my taking the time to do that. My Off-site breakdown is also still available as well, and will continue to be till after the launch.

That's a given already. Read through my breakdown you'll see where there's going to be image hosting for posting images in blogs, as well as some kind of customization (one of the announcements dealt with uploading a BG image for the blogs). How much and what we can do is still a mystery beyond those very limited pieces of information. We'll certainly know soon what we can and can't do there. In my case, I'll be powerfully annoyed if I can't wrap my text around embedded images.
In this case, something broke in the process of prepping the site for Version Vibrant I'll bet. At any rate, Adam's fixed it. But you know, I'll continue to update both the post here in blog, and the back-up one off site. I'll do that so that should the site go down, you guys can still get an idea what's going on. I'm not going to jump right on Version Vibrant either, I'm going to let everything settle with it, then I'll be able to fairly evaluate it's capabilities and features, and you can bet I'll do an evaluation (complete with screen captures). Glad to hear you'll hang on here. I couldn't bring myself to leave here, it's my first online community, and the one I've been to the longest.
I'm getting there. Not exactly there yet, but I'm getting there. This cough is stubborn.
What gets to me is that I'm the one who gets all the crap unloaded on, when I've told them before I'm not capable of dealing with that. It shouldn't take me cursing like a sailor at my brother to make that point clear, simply asking him should be enough, but he's to self-absorbed to even care how the rest of his family feels. He won't even do anything to help me out when I ask him for it anymore, so there's sauce for the goose factor at play as well.

Actually, it was 4oz every hour on the hour half Gatorade, half 7up. Didn't taste too bad, but it was hardly filling to have to do that for a whole day before moving up to chicken soup which I always substitute instant ramen for. Food source is fine, I just happened to catch a bug that's been going around lately. My mom, my sister, my friend who plays in the band, they all have or had it. And you know, we all have this stubborn cough that won't go away for anything. It's nuts.
Well, we just might see Version Vibrant here before March. If you caught the announcement up there and on my breakdowns, you'll see it's projected to come really soon. Things will probably be turbulent for a while, but after that storm, we'll see something new.
I suppose so. The rails have always had an allure to me. Maybe it's in my blood, maybe it's something else. I'll have to see where those tracks take me this year.
Once Version Vibrant goes up, and I make my last entry in the breakdown for it, that's when I'll take a week off, won't do anything here on MyO, or over on TheO where Version Vibrant will be, and I'll just rest and wait, then I'll jump onto the evaluation process, hopefully after all the major bugs are taken care of, and go from there. See, I'm not going to let myself get caught up in the first day rush, that would just be stupid.
I guess that's true. Still the light of others is a welcome asset to any respectable dragon though.
