Bill Bumgarner: Software ReleasedNotifications and Commentary regarding the release of various bits of code; either bits I wrote, bits I influenced, or bits I find commentworthy.(Untitled)- (Found July 2, 2008 ) RadioService v1.0a1 is now ready for download. This version fixes a number of bugs and streamlines the implementation. It also adds the rest of the post related Blogger API functionality; get, get recent, edit, and delete. The hot key to create a new post has been changed to "" (a post) and, as such, should be available in more apps most of the time. All functionality is available to non-service aware apps by manually filling the pasteboard (i.e. select some text, press copy), selecting..http://radio.weblogs.com/0100490/categories/softwareReleased/2002/02/28.html#a129 (Untitled)- (Found July 2, 2008 ) RadioService v0.9a3 is now ready for download. No new features, just works better-- see previous post regarding encoding of characters. You can pretty much select any hunk of 8 bit content from anything and post it via the service without worry that you'll have to diddle the quotes and other characters in the Radio desktop interface. As the application has all necessary frameworks embedded within, the download jumped from 50k to 280k. Anyone want to submit a custom Aqua Styled icon for...http://radio.weblogs.com/0100490/categories/softwareReleased/2002/02/20.html#a111 (Untitled)- (Found July 2, 2008 ) Radio Services alpha releaseAn initial alpha release of Radio Services is available as a disk image. The image contains full documentation (including instructions for those that might want to experiment with RadioServices and other Blogging services). Pleaselet me know if you have suggestions or problems. The app is far from perfect and there are a couple of known bugs (documented in the README). However, it does work-- this post was created in <b>WebObjects...http://radio.weblogs.com/0100490/categories/softwareReleased/2002/02/12.html#a63 (Untitled)- (Found July 2, 2008 ) Web Entourage released Blog App 1.0 for OS X today. Very cool. I downloaded it and had it configured and running within a minute or so. The trick is to use a username of 'default' and an URL of 'http:localhost:5335RPC2'. The only problem is that it has no awareness of Radio's categories. Not that it should-- categories are not a part of the Blogger API. It appears that you can simply 'post' from Blog App, then go into your local Radio desktop and categorize the post prior to publishing...http://radio.weblogs.com/0100490/categories/softwareReleased/2002/02/10.html#a37 (Untitled)- (Found July 2, 2008 ) Kay Narumi asked if there was some way that Bad Clock Detector could automatically fix the date in some fashion. Without a network connection, there isn't as AppleScript does not directly provide a means of setting the date and any indirect means is going to end up with the user in the System's date and time panel anyway to perform final adjustments (My best guess is that I could remember the last datetime the script was run, set the clock to that and at least get the user to within a few...http://radio.weblogs.com/0100490/categories/softwareReleased/2002/02/10.html#a35 (Untitled)- (Found July 2, 2008 ) Macro error: Can't evaluate the expression because the name "33853792" hasn't been defined. SBook was the best address book ever. Unlike every other address book, SBook didn't force entries to conform to some set of fields. Instead, you simply typed whatever you wanted into an entry and SBook would take care of parsing out phone numbers, addresses, and email addresses (this was before the web). The best part was the search-- you simply started typing into the search field and SBook would...http://radio.weblogs.com/0100490/categories/softwareReleased/2002/02/08.html#a27 (Untitled)- (Found July 2, 2008 ) It annoyed me that everytime I lost power to my TiBook, the clock would reset to 1970, I would subsequently forget to reset the datetime and a bunch of people would make fun of me for sending email from the distant past. Worse, some people sort their email by date and, as such, never noticed that I sent them email that their mail client thinks is from Jan 1, 1970. This silly little bit of AppleScript can be installed as a login item under OS X and will automatically launch System Preferences..http://radio.weblogs.com/0100490/categories/softwareReleased/2002/02/04.html#a10 |
