A Fresh New Look

May 15, 2012 By Leave a Comment

I’ve decided to switch to WordPress and use it as the CMS platform to manage the website. By doing this, I can leverage the CMS to maintain and update the website, giving me more time to focus on the development of Pinkie itself.

The primary reason for this decision basically boils down to time & resource management. For the last six months or so, I’ve been pretty busy and haven’t been able to keep up with all the work that I have in the pipeline for Pinkie. As the result of that, Pinkie’s v2.15 was delayed about 4-5 months.

Hopefully, going forward I can devote more time to develop Pinkie and add more functionality to it.

What do you think of the new website?

Best Regards,
Brian Dao
