It took stubbornly working weekends and weeknights to finally pull it all together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating the Poster Maker this year was even harder. My time was even more limited. And, to be frank, web programming never developed into a strong interest of mine. Working on the Poster Maker, I felt like I spent more time fighting with browser idiosyncrasies than creating practical value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I look forward at the prospect of updating the Schedule Maker for a third time&#8230; well it&#8217;s daunting. I have other projects I&#8217;d like to pursue, that lay closer to my interests and career. I&#8217;d rather not this website become something I dread, and so, for now, will be putting it on the back burner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks everyone for your comments suggestions over the years. I do promise to keep Gizmoa up and running, even if it doesn&#8217;t receive updates for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey everyone, After thinking about it for some time, I&#8217;ve decided to take a break from working on the site.
