Well, its very publicly out there that we’ll be giving a sneak peek of ExpressionEngine 2 at South by Southwest.  On the one hand, I’m really excited by this, and I know that EE users will fall out of their chairs.  You’ll love it.  It’s coming along great.  There’s also the flip side of course to that, of deadlines.  Last week I averaged about 4 hours of sleep a night (I’m a normal 7 hour a night guy), and that is mostly due to staying up and working.  Of course its not just the late nights, but also working through evenings… in doctors waiting rooms, even in the car.  Of course, this is the same for the whole team - Derek and Paul and working their asses off also, as is the whole of the rest of the team.  The good news though… is that things are taking shape.

And the good news doesn’t end at ExpressionEngine.  When we get this release out, there’ll be big news that will also impact on CodeIgniter, in a very permanent (and positive) way.  The next few weeks will bring more sleepless nights, more yelling at my computer, less interacting with friends… and at the end of it, a whole lot of pride.

In the meantime, there’s a few things I’ve let drop.  BambooInvoice hasn’t gotten much love from me recently.  My studies have taken a backseat in a big way.  But I just can’t shake the feeling that this will work out perfectly, and I’m really looking forward to it.
