New blog look and logo

Well, it is 2:37 am and I just checked in a bunch of code changes, slowly I'm closing the gap between shipments and charges calculation. I've been extremely careful to keep the domain model always up to date with all the little refactoring details that have been arising during these busy time.

I had to take a little break a few days ago just to cool off my mind and decided that it was time to start thinking about the project's logo and why not give the project's blog a fresh new look.

After I publish the next Overactive Source release I will be working on a simple website featuring detailed information about the system modules and capabilities with screenshoots of course.
