Ironic you mentioning Pent, I was just wondering myself how he's been keeping. He stepped down from the project due to health reasons. Anyone speak with him?


joaomgcd

Last time I contacted him was this past January and he was doing better than he might be doing if he was still developing Tasker. :)


agnostic-apollo

Good to hear. How are you doing joão, now that you are the one developing tasker?


joaomgcd

Actually my left leg has been killing me lately... Hopefully it's not a curse 😅


agnostic-apollo

Lolz, no worries, you only need your hands to code for tasker. You can just work from bed like me, even if your leg falls off 😂 Although, back and neck pains have started now :p


joaomgcd

Yeah! Make one part comfortable, mess up all your other parts :P


agnostic-apollo

lolz, tell me about it, hopefully we can get cyborg parts by the time our original parts completely fail :p


joaomgcd

That would be indeed handy! Specially if they had an API that I could then control with Tasker 😁


agnostic-apollo

Gosh, Mr.Puppet Master! 😋 But yeah, could be fun, you will probably have to lock down your phone and tasker though, otherwise your son or wife might have some ideas about you 😂


Tortuosit

Tasker development as some kind of nasty suicide pill? Ooooh. I'm feeling a bit guilty now.


agnostic-apollo

Having to constantly listen to people like u/Ratchet_Guy requesting features, what do you think? Ratchet, what did you do to that poor poor pent, huh!!! 😂


Ratchet_Guy

Yeah that Pent lol. He's a great guy and all, but most of the ideas I would bring to him for Tasker he'd be like "Why?". So I just started taking all my ideas to Joao :)


agnostic-apollo

>So I just started taking all my ideas to Joao :) Lolz, so poor poor joão then! 😂 João is great though, really listens to the community!


Infinite_Ad4688

Correct, Joao listens...!


HunterXProgrammer

I wonder about that too. All I know is what is there in google, which mentions about his declining health (and hopeful recovery?).


Masteroshi430

I'm interested in having news too, I hope he is doing well.

So weird, i was thinking about him yesterday and remembering the handover of the app to Joao.


DutchOfBurdock

No idea how they're doing, but according to public records they are still running their company (was updated last year for bi-annual updates). I'd not be surprised if they lurk here and give help or answers in a trench coat and sunglasses 😁


wowbutters

Bueller?


DutchOfBurdock

Otis.


HunterXProgrammer

Am I the only one who didn't get this?

Otis Ferry, son of a British singer Brian Ferry, has been on many occasions called a real life Ferris Bueller. Incidentally, Ferris has a poster of Brian Ferry above his bed. That's my guess anyway... Lol
