Blue Horse Shoe Loves Anacot Steel
WELL WELL WELL who should pop up in the weekend’s Wall Street Journal but a certain individual you all know, love and masturbate into tube-socks over: ME! I got a little mention in an article about list-creating web apps in Asia, for my work on the Orchestrate project.
View larger, actually legible version
The article also gives away my plans for the future of Orchestrate - it will be integrated into a suite of simple, intuitive applications that I will be designing and developing (remember “Lightbulb” from ages ago? that’s one of them…yes I know it’s taken a while).
This sound familiar? Am I ripping off 37signals‘ idea? Nope. 37signals has done an excellent job of creating a suite of applications to help with your project management. I see my suite as being complimentary - it covers everything that comes before you need to start managing your project.
That is all I can say right now. I don’t want to give too much away. I will correct one thing in the article however - http://www.jonkenpon.com is not the name of my upcoming application suite. The name for that is currently top secret, but it’s catchy and short and I’m quite lucky to have got it. Jonkenpon is something slightly different, but still related.
And I have to stop my mouth flapping right there.
Hell, Jon, this makes you Astroglide worthy now!
In all seriousness, tho, props man!
how about an application software that allow you to masturbate at a click of mouse?
Well, if they upcoming apps as good as Orchestrate is my penis is hard with anticipation.
nice one jon. you’ve worked really hard to get here and you did real well. congratulations. also, well done for managing to update your site more often, even if the entries are a little short. much appreciated.
Wow. You go. Did I say wow?
Well done! But i actually do like the idea of a web application software that allow male/females to masturbate at a click of mouse. Doesw it mean that with the amount of time YF spent on creating Orchestrate, he would have done it about a zillion times?
Like what How said: “Wow.You go.Did I say wow?”
More mouth flapping please!
WEll done, YF. I’m impressed. Not that that will mean anything to you.
So…looking to hire?
did anyone noticed that that was an HOW WOW given to yf? yea, it rhymes and it made me happy.
and now i cry. esply for all those who feel the need to masturbate to a mouse.
a giraffe wld fare much much better. what with the long necks and shit./
I’ve been using Orchestrate ever since I found out about it through an archived posting, and if your upcoming applications will be along the same path, I’m very excited. Good to see your talents recognised.
That article is obviously fake, as if there is anyone with the surname “Wagstaff”.

yeah, fuck you irrad. and fuck your mutant mother too!
haha sorry i just HAD to say that. i don’t even care if you’re actually offended. it really was worth it.
if you do have a mutant mother though, i’m really sorry. some people have all the mutants…
Wagstaff isn’t that unusual of a name, despite its connotations. Working in a library, one tends to run across a vast array of last names that would seem improbable: Pancake, Hugs, Strange, Pee, Butts and Frankenberry for examples.
I like how Wagstaff’s bio states, “I am married to someone I don’t deserve.” Aw.
Great write up! …. wondering when you smooth into those nice Versace like pants.
YF, when I click the log-out button (http://www.orchestratehq.com/byebye), it leads me to a “HTTP 404 - File not found” error.
I’ve cleared the temp files & the history caches.
Tried it again and same thing happened.
Oh and a suggestion: is it possible to like allow grouping of the various lists? For example, I want list A, list B, list C to be under “Work” and the others go under “Play”.
That’d be a great feature to have. If not, I’d have to sign up for 2 Orchestrate accounts which kinda defeats the purpose of having all the lists at one glance.
So does this mean you have access to everyone’s task lists the world over?
well, yes, but only in the same way that amazon has access to my credit card details and google has access to all my mails. It’s not in my interest or theirs to go rummaging around in users’ private data.
Out of curiosity, why does the register button on your Orchestratehq.com website not allow ppl to proceed to register? I make tons of task lists and I wouldn’t mind using the software if it can store my tasks so I can refer to them on an ongoing basis.
Apologies - I upgraded the server that orchestrate is running on and some of the links got messed up. All fixed now.
You know, you have a really dodgy tache in your profile pic photo. there must be some better, clean-shaven pictures. gimme some skin!
…gimme 5?
Michele > I hope to heaven that you were just using “work” and “play” as examples and not serious groups for lists. I’m pretty sure making lists for “play” puts you squarely in the realm of OCD… unless you mean “PLAY”… wink wink, nudge nudge. Then you’re just a player.
OCD? Nah, I don’t have OCD. I just take both work & play seriously, that’s all. I play hard & I work hard…BUT I ain’t no player as well. :) Am I confusing you? Good. Coz I love doing that to people - the confusing part, that is. :)
Oi. Dead or alive?
