Year in review, plans for next year and the usual Christmas special.

Hi everyone.

Season's greetings. Time to break out the boxset of Glee and rewatch all Hugh Grant's movies again.

It's been a good year. Mostly. Paul learned how to program in Python (somewhat/mostly) and did his first public talk. He made a short Maltego video too. Andrew traveled the world and sauna-ed with strangers. Someone (you know who you are) hugged him and he was OK with it. Uhmmm...no - not at said sauna. I started drawing things and managed an entire day at Defcon before hiding in my hotel room. We appointed RI to sort out our admin. The office dog doesn't eat our checks anymore (BTW, this really happened, try to explain that to your bank). We all received Tshirts from Russia.

Maltego got a transform hub and we've added a ton of providers. We made a new TDS. We added a few transforms. We made a developer portal thing-thing. Compared with what's happening in the next year it's pretty boring. So what you ask is on the menu?

1. New version of Maltego. Called Plutonium. Built for handling large graphs.
2. New product. Called Plutonium XL. Build for handling really large graphs.
3. New website. All grown up. Really shiny and actually useful. You might even find what you're looking for on there.

Plutonium will have a brand new look and feel. Even the alpha drives like the Batmobile and looks like something from Tony Stark's bedroom.

1,2 and 3 are to be all released in Q1. I know I know - we said before the end of the year. But Maltego releases are born not built. And this one needs a little more time in the oven. Watch this space..

Of course everyone came here for the yearly Christmas special discount coupon code. In fact, you probably scanned through this post for the word Christmas and ended up at this paragraph. So here it is. It's the animal that ate our checks (lower case), then the number '4' and then the two capital letters used in the new product we're launching next year. Hee hee..of course you could be a real poephol and tweet the code. Nobody will love you if you do that. Especially us. We won't love you.

The special runs from the 23rd to the 28th and offers 44% discount.
Happy holidays and see you all on the other side of 2015!
