OMMWRITER BLOG

In previous posts we unnecessarily and unknowingly set false expectations for the release of the new version of OmmWriter. We would like to apologize for the delay. The reason for the delay is due to technical problems we ran into with some new backgrounds images, namely Chromatherapy. We have been working together with a chromatherapy expert to develop two new backgrounds: one to promote a tranquil state of being, and the other to promote creativity. Both backgrounds adopt the use of specific color gamuts that subtly transition in the background. However, programming this to perfection has not been as easy as we first thought. The good news is that Ommwriter is almost out of QA now.

So in response to many requests we are now wary of publishing a release date, but believe that we should communicate a tentative one. If all goes well, we hope to release early-September, maybe slightly earlier if possible. Thanks again for your patience in the meantime.

After months of intensive group practice, we are happy to say that a new version of Ommwriter is on it’s way. We have listened to your suggestions, feedback and advice and have now implemented them into a new version of Ommwriter.

In addition to some nice new features, more background images and sounds, have passed the Ommwriter test of generating peace and tranquility – and so they have been provided for you to use within the new version.

We thank you for all the positive responses, and hope that you enjoy the new version.

We also want to thank our newest team member, Chiquira, who now joins us as Ommwriter’s Online Community Manager.

We will post the release date news on our twitter page: @ommwriter

Thanks,
Ommwriter team

Early Monday morning the Herraizsoto family was lucky enough to welcome its newest members: two shiny iPads, flown in all the way from San Diego on the lap of Papa Rafa himself. As you can imagine, it has been a bit more difficult to stay focused in the office since their arrival. The iPads have been making their way from desk to desk, often retaining traces of previous excitement and intelligent observation in their text editors, such as, “WOW SO COOL this is what it is like to type on an iPad !!!!1 ahdklsaaLKL I thi”

For the OmmWriter team this excitement has been coupled with the realization that everything we have worked so hard to design and define up until this point is about to be completely restructured. Onscreen keyboards? Multiple orientations? File Management? Touch? Every day we are discovering more concepts and designs to completely rethink.

Needless to say we couldn’t be happier.

Any Suggestions?

It has been some time since this blog has been used for anything other than apologies and troubleshooting, something that we would certainly like to change. The truth is we’re on the brink of a new chapter in OmmWriter’s story and are too excited to keep it a secret. We feel that it is time to share the love. The new version is coming along wonderfully and our offices have been filled with more calming imagery and soothing soundscapes than ever before. Expect a few new surprises but nothing out of line with the OmmWriter philosophy. Concerning the big boys, the iPads and Windows, lets just say we are all very excited and overwhelmed (a good sign). For now we just want to start showing you a little bit of what we have been working on.

Uh-oh, did you send us an email recently? Between the dates of March 28th and April 6th? If so, we would love to have read and responded to it, but sadly we’re experiencing some server problems and it never got through. If you tried to contact us during these nine days please try again! We have fixed the abovementioned problem and would love to hear from you.

Also, big things are happening for Ommwriter at the moment and we want to share them with you. Check back at the blog for some news very, very soon. It won’t be regarding another problem, I promise. (I hope).
