I’ve released a second beta of the .7 releases for Tasks Pro™ and Tasks. This fixes a few bugs that were reported in the first beta releases and adds tagging to the mobile interface. I’m still looking for feedback on the way tagging works1 – should I assume that no feedback means people like it?…

Yesterday I got an e-mail from a Tasks Pro™ customer who wanted to know how to be able to make tasks he creates visible to groups he isn’t a member of1. My initial reaction was that this wasn’t possible, that he had to be a member of the groups to give them access2. However, before…

That’s right, a song against commercialism being used to pimp a card…

For accesskeys to work in IE, the element must be visible1, and containing elements must be visible. I’m not sure if this is a recent change in IE or if I changed my code somewhere along the way without realizing the effect it would have in IE. Here is a simple test case demonstrating this.…

Sometimes it’s really hard to not tell your side of the story. The recent drama around Rocketboom being played out in public is hurting the reputation of both Amanda Cogdon and Andrew Baron – whatever the real story is. The same thing happened last month with PubSub, when information was broadcast that really should have…
