It's been a long five days. Every time I considered writing an update I realized how far behind I was and decided to crank out some code instead. It looks like it paid off too. I have a functioning Sinatra application which I've named SinMagick. I've even uploaded the initial source checkout to github. I'll be following it up with a few bug fixes, documentation and tests. More details to follow on Saturday and Sunday when I wrap up the last few items on the ToDo list below.

Check out the final feature list below as well as some screen shots of the app in action below.
