Jonathan Greene has posted a very kind review of Tasks 2.0 (beta) in his blog. It is very satisfying to see someone appreciating a project I’ve put a lot of effort into. I hope (and expect) it will be well received when I finish the beta cycles and release it. There are a couple of…

It’s been a few months since I was hoping to buy a 17″ PowerBook and it sounds like they are still a little ways out. Not only that, but the speed increase in the new models doesn’t seem that great… I wonder if it will make sense to skip this generation too; though if I…

We got word back from the sellers that they will take care of the items we requested be repaired as a result of the inspection report (all pretty minor). This is good news. 😀

I’ve released Tasks 2.0 beta 2 to the people who donated on tasks 1.x. If you donated and didn’t get an e-mail from me about the Tasks 2.0 beta, please let me know. This fixes a few bugs in beta 1 and updates PHP iCalendar to 1.1. There haven’t been too many bug reports so…

I’ve risen all the way to #6 in the “alex” Google search and I’m holding steady as the #3 “alex” in Yahoo. Tasks and Tasks Pro™ are also fairing well in terms of name recognition through the search engines. Tasks is #2 in a Google search and a Yahoo search for “tasks”. Tasks Pro doesn’t…

I’ve released tasks 1.8.6rc2. The main change in this version is the addition of PHP iCalendar 1.1 and some small changes to it that should make it happier to accept the tasks iCalendar. This post is part of the project: Tasks Pro™. View the project timeline for more context on this post.

I’ve pretty much wrapped up feature development for Tasks Pro™ 1.1 and Tasks 2.0. Both are in beta right now and I haven’t heard too much in terms of bug reports from the testers (I’ve fixed a couple of small ones already). I’m looking forward to what features I should add next. Going through my…

The We’re Doomed syndrom in software development and how to handle it. A digital frame like this would be a great project for my home office. Just add a scheduled sync to grab images from a watched folder and the frame should be able sit virtually untouched. The (unreleased) MySQL Administrator looks great, except for…

Today I got a good feature request for Tasks Pro™ from someone. I wrote a somewhat lengthy response and sent it off… about 30 seconds later I got a ‘delivery failed’ message. I guess I need to add a ‘please double check your e-mail address if you want a response’ message on all my e-mail…

Yesterday, University scientists released the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer. Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption. The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain phytoestrogens) and that by drinking enough beer, men turn into women. To test the theory, 100…

Gotta love it.

We leave tonight for our annual Spring Training trip: 4 days of baseball and golf in the Arizona sun. 😎 I’m bringing my PowerBook so I can respond to support questions, set up free trials and fulfill sales of Tasks Pro™, but other e-mails may not get replied to for a few days. It somewhat…
