So, I am still working on Tangerine. Some of my colleagues have seen some simple demos of what I have done with the Flex/Grails application that I have been working on for a little while now, but it is not ready for public consumption. I am really trying to wrap things up on the first Beta release of Product Manager so I can work on the Account Manager and Sales Manager and get those releases out before summer.

There are a couple of things that I have been fighting with:

First, time. I should be working on some software that helps me create time. Finding time to work on my projects is one of the things that I have been battling each week.

Second, Flex. Flex is great, but I am not a Flex developer, so I guess I really need to break down and buy Flex Builder 3. I am not trying to do anything too crazy, but I think having FB 3 on my side will at least aid me in my quest to build nice RIA Web applications. I have been using TextMate for everything so far. I have 90% of the UI done, but the last 10% is where I need to bring out the big guns.

Everything on the Grails side is going great. There are a few things I need to tweak, but I am still extremely excited about working with Grails. Speaking of working with Grails…I did a search on Dice and found 10 posts for jobs in the US. That number will get bigger, people just need time.
