Delays? School Broken tablet

---

Probably more delays on the rise again. Finally some breakthroughs with my work for Ingram Micro which means I can go to work now. It will take up some time I had actually planned to spend on Nyes so that's a bummer for that project.
Since last update on Nyes I've been building an installer without GUI (yet) and started on a package manager. It wasn't on my list, but the installer triggered the build of the package manager.

Come to think of it I still have to fit this between learning for the school "exams" JAVA (oh no!) and common SQL (*yawn*).

My Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet is broken, or well the "pen" is. Didn't last too long now did it? So I'm checking if it's under warranty or else I'll have to buy a new one. For now I'm using my mouse again. Which is a real pain in the ass if you have to go back to it after you experienced the wonders of a tablet. If things won't work out with the warranty I won't turn my back on Wacom, instead I'll be probably buying a new one all together. Yes I know I can buy the pen separately.

The trouble

---

The news about NWC/Nyes was a bit vague the last couple weeks, on purpose. The trouble was that I was exploring frameworks. CakePHP on a direct recommendation from my Ruby on Rails crazy classmate and CodeIgniter on another not so direct recommendation. So... CakePHP was a quick loss and I struggled with CodeIgniter for a while until realizing it didn't work like I would have wanted it to. But it's a MVC framework right and NWC/Nyes use the same concept so why shouldn't it work? Yes, they both use the MVC style but on a different level.

I've learned the hard way that saying your application or framework is MVC based doesn't mean it will work in every other MVC based framework. So that's what happened with CodeIngniter. I mean I know what CodeIgniter would work for: things I don't make. NewsOffice perhaps would work on it, but I'll probably never try it. When NWC/Nyes works I'll use that as foundation. Much more familiar to me then which will probably result in a better working product.

I've been talking about NewsOffice 3.X Series on the forums, but just to clarify: That's not going to be here anytime soon. Only when NWC/Nyes is out and working I'll consider NewsOffice 3.X Series. For now the 2.0.X Beta series are bug fixes only. 2.0.14 Beta is on it's way after finding that last pesky bug!

Update information about NWC/Nyes
It's holiday time so I have some time on my hands. After surviving the horrors outside (snow) I got to work on some more JavaScript-ing!

- Sitemap done. (JQuery + UI, AJAX based)
- File manager done. (JQuery + UI, AJAX based)
- Basic workings of adding content and pages done. (JQuery + UI, AJAX based)

Next on the list:
- User manager (will be based upon file manager)
- Theme manager
- Packages manager
- And a lot of other stuff I can't think off right now.

101 posts!

So this is the 101th published post for the Newanz blog. I'm sure you can tell it's actually the 106th id, so that means 5 posts didn't make it to the front page in two years of posting. That's one every week XD

What's new?
I'm trying to figure out the last bug I have in my logs for NewsOffice. When I have found that one I'll publish a new version.

NWC/Nyes?
Yeah almost done with the core. Then the actual content and functionality will have to be build.
