bedeviled mojo slop

Rewind to the initial announcement of TextAmerica4J. Life moves fast here on the Internets. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.

Quick updates on what's happened with TextAmerica4J this evening.

• Link pimp Erik Thauvin pimped TextAmerica4J hm'yah and hm'yah.
• I've already updated the javadocs and they're far better than a few hours ago. Mostly that was due to the fact that I could quickly cut and paste from their documentation. And I've already noted some locations where they've cut and pasted their own documentation. Go go Web 2.0! Code now and document later
• Once my textamerica4j project is approved on SourceForge, I'm throwing the downloads up there.
• Mark Lussier has his TextAmerica4R, an implementation in Ruby, finished. He's applied for a project on RubyForge. So, once that's setup, I'll pimp a link to that download.
• Oh, and Erik found an issue with file size limitation in the initial download I put up, so I've fixed that and that JARs you'd download reflect the updated code.

Downloads available, TextAmerica4J with dependencies and the TextAmerica4J standalone.

Conceivably you could build some applications on top of TextAmerica4J and submit it to their API beta program to win $500. Why not download blojsom and write a plugin?

I don't have confirmation that I'm one of the 20 who'll get a $500 bounty, but I think it's going to happen. Mark and I have both agreed that if either of us win the $500, we're giving it all to charity. That's going to be a pretty good feeling.
