Goodbye TuneBarOctober 31st, 2011
It's always sad when the day comes for a developer to close the lid on a program that has played a large role in their life for the better part of 6 years, but unfortunately that day has come for me. I'm moving in to the final stages of my degree and my schedule will just not permit me the time TuneBar deserves.
So what does this mean for TuneBar? Well for the next several months I will be removing TuneBar from sale on this site, and it will remain only as a portfolio piece. In the weeks before Christmas however I will be releasing TuneBar 3 as freeware. Unfortunately TuneBar 4 has not been completed to a standard in which I would be happy to release it.
For me at least the next several months are going to be focusing primarily on my final year project which explores the technologies involved in mapping and exploring a physical environment by use of an autonomous robot. You can follow progress on the construction and progression of the project at its project site.
The site is going to experience a number of changes as well, and rather than focusing on my business, will emphasise much more of my experimental work and projects related to Computer Science. Amongst this will be tutorials, guides, code and other points of interest.
I want to finish off by thanking everyone who purchased a license for TuneBar and helped support me over the past 6 years. It's been fun and exciting ride and has taught me so much about customer relations and designing applications overall. The feedback and the praise I have received have been overwhelming and has inspired me to keep on going and move on to bigger and better things.
