The kids are in finals right now. It is pretty rough this time because both of them have a much bigger load than last semester. They both have their last final, Calculus II, tomorrow afternoon. I have promised Kelly that I will have the BleAx (comic aggregation and publishing) program ready for her when she finishes the semester. I am almost there. Really, we can start aggregating and publishing now, but there are some finishing touches that are not quite complete. This time, I am going to release the program for broader use. Yesterday, I finished the first pass of the documentation for the program. BleAx now has its own webpage here. You can see the documentation I put up here. I hope to have the program up for general download by the end of the coming weekend.

Hey that’s great

Thanks Lyle. Now all we need to do is find some Beta users!!!
Lyle
I could do a blog post for you. Are you ready for some Linux beta users?

Okay, so I am clueing into this a little late….you have created BleAx so that others can do the same with their homemade comics as Kelly has done with hers? I know a little girl who had a comic strip published in the local newspaper. She is always drawing and creating. Would it be easy for her family to download and use BleAx for their daughter’s comic strips. Or anyone for that matter?

That is exactly right Ruthie! I am sorry for answering so late. She could do it, but she would have to get a comicpress themed wordpress blog. After that it would be pretty easy. And, of course, I am here to help!!!

Is getting a comicpress themed wordpress blog easy to do?
Mattisse and Emma both finished out the semester with flying colors. I am proud of the girls. Now they are off to Wisconsin for a friend’s wedding. Mattisse left today to drive with the family of the bride and Emma will fly with 2 other friends on Thursday and all 4 girls will fly home on Monday. I will miss them, but I am excited for them at the same time.

I hope you have a great time in Wisconsin! Doing the ComicPress blog thing is not hard. What you do is go to some place like echristianwebhosting.com who is my web host and get a website for about $6/month. Then you install a wordpress blog to it and add the comicpress theme. It takes a moderate amount of web savvy, but with a little patience it is not so hard.
