Current Major Project: Library Upgrade (still )

I made very little progress on this last month because of all the tweaking I was doing on the forums. You get a shiny new toy and you wanna play with it, you know?

But this Library upgrade is impacting a lot of other things now (OOBs are broken, Want to Play is broken, Galleries rely on the upgrade) so I need to refocus and get this major task wrapped up to unclog the queue for everything else.

Random Notes:

Last Monday I signed the offer sheet for a new position in a new industry at a new company. From August 1st I will be a Director of International Marketing. This will leave me less time to work on PG-HQ (bad!), but will allow me to catch up on a few PG purchases (good!), and as I will be traveling frequently I may even get to meet up with a few of you guys while I'm on the road (awesome!).

As I said I begin on August 1st, so I am making that my personal deadline to get the Library upgrade done (at the very least) and possibly gallery support as well. We shall see!
