Snow Leopard

Happy Snow Leopard day, everyone.

The user facing changes aren't drastically noticeable this time, but there are quite a few developer oriented features I'd love to start using in my apps. I hope that everybody who reads this blog will upgrade soon.

Our apps didn't need to be updated for the new OS this time with the exception of one: I Love Stars. You should upgrade to the latest version as soon as possible if you're using it because you won't be able to quit iTunes otherwise.

Our other apps will have 64-bit support when their next major versions come out, except for The Hit List, which should have it much sooner.

I'm still very busy working on The Hit List and its iPhone companion. I hope to have something to share with you soon.

Interview of Yours Truly

Will Holmes was kind enough to interview me on his blog. I talk about square watermelons and Don Norman. I hear they're giving away licenses of Tangerine! and Voice Candy too.

Status Update

I have been away for a few weeks on vacation but I'm back in California fully recharged. I finally got a new iPhone while vacationing and it proved to be an indispensable tool for running the bare essentials of the business remotely. I am not quite used to the virtual keyboard yet, but being able to reply to emails on the road while listening to music and snapping pictures felt like a major victory for road warriors everywhere. It was awesome being able to look up things like the Smoot on the spot.

So... getting back to work, I will be releasing minor updates to Voice Candy and Tangerine! soon.

There is also a new app in the works. It should be an interesting one and I'll be providing more information on it in the weeks and months to come.
