September 2022 Status Update

It’s the first Tuesday of every month, meaning your latest starbeam.one status update is here. Let’s begin! Finishing Tasks The past few weeks have been really focused on the Administration Application, which can be viewed as a CMS application around the entire starbeam.one system. I wanted a way to quickly jump through all the different entities of the system and I am pleased to say that I finally have a first version that I am happy with using. Continue reading

August 2022 Status Update

Welcome! It’s the first Tuesday of every month, and that means the latest starbeam.one Status Update! Let’s begin here. Program Notes Astute readers will realize that I am posting this on a Thursday, and not a Tuesday. While I was able to record the latest Stand-up & Shine (and Shill) on Tuesday, I was not able to post it until this morning. There were a few issues with post-video production that took quite a bit of time and retakes. Continue reading

It Be Awkward There’s an expression that I learned from Jim Caldwell, a former Detroit Lions coach (and still my favorite after Jim Schwartz).

We now feature the following commerce providers for purchasing Flares, starbeam. Continue reading

May 2022 Status Update

Welcome! Hello out there and welcome to your monthly starbeam.one update, which occurs on the first Tuesday of every month. Things Are Better Now Last month featured all sorts of problems, which I am glad to say most if not all have been resolved. Rather than a raging inferno, the landscape is more of a (manageable 😁) smoldering mess. I have attended to most of the pressing concerns and have moved onto building features again. Continue reading

April 2022 Status Update

Why hello there! It’s the first Tuesday of the month, which means it’s time for your next installment of starbeam.one monthly status updates. Everything is on Fire… Sometimes the expression “on fire” can be a good thing. Most of the times it is not. Currently, the state of this project is in the latter, unfortunately. Every day seems like a new challenge or something else breaking. I am currently attending to each one as the only person on this project at the moment and making due with the resources and limitations presented to me. Continue reading

Introducing Stand-up and Shine Weekly Stand-ups

Hello everyone and welcome to your next installment of starbeam.one monthly updates. Except, it’s no longer monthly, but is now weekly. And it’s no longer in a blog, but in a video. Yes, I am switching up things here a bit with the format here at starbeam.one. Going forward, I am going to attempt to update you with a weekly video update in an agile stand-up format, featuring such topics as: Continue reading
