Well today’s the day a lot of you have been waiting for Pligg 2 has been released. Kind of… Yankidank has decided he wants to charge for it. May I remind you that I don’t see a single penny from that. It all goes to Yankidank. It wasn’t my decision to release it that way either. Personally I think it needed more work before releasing it, and it should have been free. His method is more like charging you be a beta tester.
We disagree on a lot of things, but that’s ok. It’s good to have different opinions. It brings out the creativity in both of us. We argue like brothers. We always have, and I suspect we always will. Our arguments are always over the betterment of the project so it’s not like anyone loses. In the end the users always win.

Wow I need a vacation. I mean like a real vacation. I haven’t been on a vacation in over 5 years. Working 1825 days straight without a single break.
Still no contributions today. So I am still stuck in this homeless shelter until I can get at least a few hundred more in donations. Please help me get out of here. I have been so close to being able to go home for the past few days, then all of a sudden the contributors dried up, nobody was sharing my blog, or Indegogo Campaign anymore. I feel as though everyone has suddenly forgotten about me.
If you would like to contribute you can do so from either here or here. You would be helping me out more than you know.
Tune in tomorrow
