    tasks Version 1.6b4 has been released. This is the first release of tasks in multiple languages (this release includes French and German).

  2. Around the web

    This is an interesting way to make PHP functions more forgiving. Aaron’s Baseball Blog has a great (long) article discussing Rafael Palmeiro’s case for the Hall of Fame. Am I getting too jaded when this doesn’t even surprise me? This article explains how to set up virtual hosts in Apache to let you keep your…

  3. Recognition and Greek Translation

    I got a volunteer working on a Greek translation of tasks. That brings the list of languages to: French Spanish German Italian Polish Russian Korean Japanese Greek A little feel-good news for me: tasks moved up to #3 on the HotScripts.com Top Rated List and I got an e-mail this morning from MacWorld asking permission…

  4. Cable modem down

    My cable modem seems to have died this past week. After being told for several days that this was just a connection problem in my area, I was told last night that it is probably a faulty modem. They can’t get anyone out to fix it until Thursday morning at which point it will have…

  5. Quick Update – niiice

    tasks moved into the #4 spot on the HotScripts.com Top Rated List just before the release of 1.5.3 – nice to see it up there. In the 2 days since it’s been released there have already been over 350 downloads – this is also nice to see. I’ve already received translated language files from Simon…

  6. photos 3.5 nearing public beta

    I’ve gotten all the browser compatability work done, added the major EXIF columns to the database, written a database upgrade script and integrated Exifer. I still need to finish the conflict resolution stuff (catching when 2 people edit the same task at once so they don’t stomp each other – like I do in tasks)…

  7. New Book

    I spent a good deal of time last night setting up my new PowerBook. I decided to sell my 400mhz PowerBook before it lost all it’s value and do an interim upgrade before the rev B of the 17″ PowerBook the new 15″ model everyone is expecting arrives. It amazes me that a Powerbook will…

  8. tasks 1.5.3 released

    tasks version 1.5.3 has been released. This has several small bug fixes including: fixed a compatibility with PHP versions earlier than 4.1 fixed ‘normal’ sorting by title in list view after a reverse sort by title exclude deleted items from the last 10 part of the jump to menu The demo is updated. This post…

  9. tasks 1.6 public beta coming soon

    I’ve already got French and German language files so we’re looking good for a public beta soon. This post is part of the project: Tasks Pro™. View the project timeline for more context on this post.

  10. tasks 1.5.2 bugs

    Had a bug report waiting for me this morning. I forgot to include the comptibility code (for versions of PHP < 4.1 and with magic_quotes disabled) from the index.php file in the u_rail.php file. u_rail.php is my ‘underground railroad’, I use it to talk to the server and get sub-tasks when a task tree is…

  11. tasks 1.6 status

    I sent out a tickler e-mail to all the kind folks who are working on localizations. I’ve already gotten several responses and I epect to be able to release a public beta with several languages next week. This post is part of the project: Tasks Pro™. View the project timeline for more context on this…

  12. Around the web

    This iTunes parody of Billy Joel’s ‘Piano Man’ is fan-damn-tastic. Not that I need any more hardware catching my eye, but this keyboard looks intriguing. This is the first gesture implementation I have been interested in. From the Register: Google to have separate blog search. My only remaining excuse for not using CVS is that…

  13. Exifer to be used in photos 3.3

    I started working with Jake Olefsky’s Exifer last night to see how it works and what I need to do to integrate it into photos. Looks like it will be pretty easy, I removed some of the human-friendly labels he had added (‘f 3.5’ instead of just ‘3.5’ for aperture, ’28 mm’ instead of just…
