Phobos Production Apps

Summer time is extremely busy for me and I do not get much chance to work with new technologies and projects. If only there were more hours in the day. . .

It amazes me how long it takes to bring technology on line in a business environment. I have been working with Phobos for a while now and looking for ways to implement it in production environments. It will happen in the future, but with economic and business cycles, it will take a few years to move into. Businesses first have to decide to move. Then they have to test and start with small projects. Then the pace begins to accelerate. This cycle of moving to something new can take years even if the new system is better. Meanwhile, people judge open source projects by the size of the communities and software running on it. Sometimes there are people using the software and working with it, but it is not visible to the world. It does takes time to write about what you are doing with a particular project, but it is a way of giving back to those who have worked on the project. I encourage others to write a blog or you can share what you are doing with someone who writes a blog. It will help to foster interest in a project.

Now if someone would pay me to write Phobos code . . .

Until then, I must regulate the fun stuff to off hours. :-)
