09.05.05 - Rooter 1.0 Release Party

I had a dream last night: I was at a Notre Dame football game. It was 1976, and the crowd started chanting “ROO-TER, ROO-TER”. I had no idea what was going on, and before long, I was lighting trash cans on fire and rolling them down a hill.

This morning I woke confused and disoriented – but, I knew what I had to do. Finish Rooter, and release the seminal version 1.0!

Rooter has always been told that he was too small to organize CD collections online. When people say dreams don’t come true, tell them about Rooter.

For all those who missed the release party, that’s too bad. The pictures are all too racy to put online.

Some new features include, but are not limited to:

1. Added search ability.

2. Fixed serious bug limiting the number of albums displayed per “page”.

3. Fixed text description field, so users can insert HTML tags into their notes.

4. New album cover icon!

5. Added concept of “views” which act as filters for various format types.

With all this craziness, I may have introduced new bugs. I’ll hammer those out as I discover them. However, all of the original features I had in mind are in place, hence the label: Version 1.0. Check it out here. I’ll announce when I get around to posting the code on sourceforge.net.
