Barley 2 is a few lines of code and a spit-shine away from beta. Want to be a beta tester? Send me an email.

Woke up at 6:45a and built an import tool for Barley 1 users to migrate to Barley 2. I thought this was going to be a herculean task but I ended up finishing in under 3 hours and 61 lines of code. A good reminder that sometimes I worry about things being tougher than they…

Just tagged the first beta build of Barley 2.0. Feels great.

Making great progress on Barley 2.0. We’re at the point now where I’m even more excited about what will come of the platform after we get this version out the door. How slick will Barley 2.0.1 or Barley 2.1 be?

Here is an early look at the new editor style in Barley 2.0.  Exciting times ahead.

In the mood for eggs in the basket. Going to make some. Then work on Barley 2.0

Weekly Plain team meeting went great today. We made plans for Barley 2.0.

Kyle and I have decided we love Barley too much to let it die. So we’re starting over with it in hopes we can find the right fit for it in the market. That is why we are going to sharpen our product’s focus by starting over and we’re going to ask that you follow…

Over on the Barley blog we wrote: today we’re very excited to let you know that a brand-new media uploading and management experience is now available This was a lot of fun to work on. But it is even more fun to use. It will make my life a hundred times easier curating The Watercolor…

This was fun to work on. Since I did 30 weekdays of blogging I think now I’ll aim for 30 weekdays of committing code to Barley CMS.

The Barley team had the opportunity to sponsor the beer and pizza for a WordPress Meet up in Sydney, Australia earlier in the week. It was about 36 hours before we officially debuted Barley for WordPress to the public. Photo by Will Brown. The above photo is those attending the WordPress Meetup watching a special…

I’m not a great programmer. In fact, at this point in my career I wouldn’t advise paying me to write any complex code. But I’m an excellent hacker. I love to chip away at things with my limited programming knowledge and get something working. I wrote the working prototype for Barley. Which Jeff immediately threw…

I just spent a few minutes playing around with Medium, a new "system for reading and writing", created by the makers behind great services like Blogger and Twitter. It was extremely validating to see that some of the decisions that were made by the amazingly smart and talented Medium team ended up being some of the…

As you may have guessed from the lack of posts, I’m busy. After leaving Viddler and taking some time to get things in order; I’m busy building Plain, Plain Space, and our first product Barley. Barley has been a smash hit and it isn’t even publicly available yet. We’ve been overwhelmed by the response. We’ve…

I’m writing this post using a new post editor that is coming in the next version of WordPress code-named, and likely named for all-time, Gutenberg. In fact, I’ve written several of my most recent posts, including this photo post of South Iceland, using this new editor. Gutenberg is an editor that allows a WordPress author…

When my site was on Barley I had something we called a "combo feed". A combo feed combined all content types (what we called custom post types) into my main RSS feed. This allowed someone to subscribe to a single feed and get all of the blog posts, statuses, photos, and audio bits that I publish.…

Two friends (Matt, Ben) and I have been trying to plan an afternoon just to go out, explore, and shoot photos. Finally we were able to on Saturday afternoon. Left: Ben, me, Matt at Callicoon Brewing Company. We chose Callicoon on a whim but I’m glad we did. The weather was perfect to get out…
