I'd like to first say thanks to all who have contributed to the on going evolution of Tapestry and it's support. I'm a long time user of Tapestry starting with version 3 in 2005 and I must say leaps and bounds have been made since then. I'd also like to say thanks to all who have continued to answer my never ending array of questions ;-) Thanks guys! It has been a pleasure working with you all.
In 2008 we took a risk and decided to move forward with t5 beta over spring with the development of our new app. We experienced some short lived glorious times as we successfully processed hundreds of thousands of users and cars, however do to our nations elected official and his cash for clunkers program, it destroyed our market place forcing me to have to change our brand to CarDaddy.com. With the lack of success with the new brand I eventually had to move on to other opportunities. I ended up taking a job with our state government and some contract work for a hotel wireless company, however along with my move, I decided to bring along my dear friend Tapestry5. Tapestry5 has ended up becoming an active platform within my organizations which we are now actively focused on building 5.4 apps. :) While being focused with my other work, my personal app which was still being ran on T5.1 was lacking support and ended up getting hacked (apache) three weeks ago by the Chinese bringing down my servers. This forced me to have to whip up a new application over the past three weeks by myself in 5.4 and yup, that wasn't a typo, only three weeks and that includes mobile too, okay maybe they were 3 very long weeks, but I still managed to pulled it off and I don't think I could have without the help of T5.4, jquery, bootstrap etc :) Well I'd like to share my new app with the community while once again pushing out a beta app into production :) I realize there is a lot of room for improvement, so feel free to suggest away. Growth seems to be on the rise as traffic / inventory continue to increase daily and I don't have a doubt in my mind that Tapestry won't be up for the job. Once again, thank you guys for all you have done. New 5.4-beta3 site www.cardaddy.com Cheers, George -- George Christman www.CarDaddy.com P.O. Box 735 Johnstown, New York
