There were 261 downloads of the new release today – good deal! I spent a lot of my free time over the last few months on the new features so it’s nice to see people like it well enough in the demo (360 visits to the demo today) to download it and give it a…

I’ve posted an FAQ about why deleted tasks are kept in the database in the tasks documentation. Feel free to discuss. This post is part of the project: Tasks Pro™. View the project timeline for more context on this post.

I’m glad to see MySQL 4.1 released with support for sub-queries. I really want to use this with tasks but I’m not sure I want to require MySQL version 4.1 and I know I don’t want to fork my database queries based on MySQL version. I guess I’ll just wait for mass adoption – someone…

I’ve put up version 1.5.1. This fixes a small bug that affects people that use multi-byte languages. I forgot to set the content-type header to utf-8 in the hidden frame so the titles of dynamically expanded sub-tasks in the tree didn’t look right. The 120 people that have already downloaded 1.5 can just open up…

I have gotten a lot of requests from people who want to see tasks become a groupware (multi-user) application. With my software, I don’t do something if I’m not going to do it right – and proper multi-user support is a really big job. The things I’d have to do to add multi-user support include:…

I’ve added a donations page to my site. I got an e-mail from a fellow last week asking me if I could accept donations through other methods than just PayPal so I set up an Amazon donation system (as requested) the same day, but he hasn’t been back to use it yet. 🙁 I like…

I’m going to try using Exifer in the next version of gallery/photos. I’ve heard from a number of people who don’t have EXIF enabled in their PHP installation and if I use Exifer, I don’t have to require PHP’s built-in EXIF functionality to be enabled. It looks like Exifer returns a multi-dimensional array and slightly…

I’ve already made good progress on localization support for tasks version 1.6 over the last few weeks. I created a localization file for all of the strings and thanks to the efforts of some very generous people it is already working in French and German. I’m going to be adding a few small things, but…

Last week I saw (on TV) my fantasy baseball pitchers give up 2 home runs that never actually left the ballpark. This doesn’t help my team stats. 😡

Here is a decent write-up of a longtime windows user’s experience with Mac OS X. A must-have for those serious about their picnic-ing/tailgating. Apparently, barking at a dog is a punishable offense. I agree with Jack McDowell’s view on pitch counts to a point, but there is too much evidence that pitch counts (as they…

I did a little house cleaning here while watching the late-late NBA game when I should have been heading to bed… but now I have a linkable tasks dev-blog and photos dev-blog instead of those posts being mixed in with other stuff in the Software or Development sections. I like reading dev-blogs of other software…
