Beta +10

Monday, July 31st, 2006

We've had over 200 beta testers sign up. Thanks! We've released three new beta versions to add minor enhancements (and fix one minor bug) One final beta version is in the works which will fix support for storing the password in the keychain (and ensure non-English letters (e.g. ???) display properly ...

Blog migration, Bedouin and Beta3

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

We've moved the blog from our old server onto something a lot more stable, hosted by our friends at Yoyo. We decided to stop using Typo because it was unstable, just around the time they fixed the stability problems. Still, I don't want to spend my time hacking ...

SyncBridge Report: release reports

Friday, July 21st, 2006

SyncBridge has been out for 10 hours. We have 52 users from 9 different countries sharing 84 calendars. Now, that's the power of the internet! We got listed on MacUpdate, Versiontracker and we're preparing the PRs for other sites in the Mac web today. Today is one of my best ...

It’s out there

Thursday, July 20th, 2006

We've taken the shackles off and now everyone can have a go. We've been using SyncBridge for nearly a month now and we've seen the good and the bad of iCal and SyncServies for more than 6 months now and come through with a smile. So it's out. In Public Beta. It's ...

What’s happening? Part II

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

Thought I'd add a bit more to this. I finished all the code for SyncBridge on the 6th of July. I don't just mean code complete, I mean tested and bug-fixed etc. First thing in the morning on the 7th of July I went on vacation for ...

What’s happening?

Monday, July 17th, 2006

Loads of things... New Server for SyncBridge (yay for EXIST, and boo for 123-reg and dedicatedNOW) Syncbridge.com is ready to go, but not live. We got the SSL certificate up and running on the new server. It's ALMOST ready to go. So close I can taste it. We'll have a formal announcement once we're ...

And we’re on EirePreneurZ…

Friday, July 14th, 2006

James at EirePreneur is running a series of in-depth intreviews with Irish startups which he's dubbing EirePreneurZ. The first was with Karen Jackson of Gardini which is a Dublin based company founded to provide Gardens for Balconies, Patios, Yards, Terraces and Roof Tops and planters for House fronts and Windows. Next ...

PJ on video. Lookit! He moves!

Friday, July 14th, 2006

PJ, enjoying the success of no longer being a starving hopeful artist, has started vidcasting (which is a name I've invented now because vlog sounds silly and vee-casting sounds worse). I especially love the intro where he says "Oh, hello..." Reminds me of Jackanory which is decidedly old hat now and probably ...

$10000 to call BillG out.

Friday, July 14th, 2006

Wil Shipley is crazy. He's still someone I totally respect - though I'm not up there on the "man love" thing. Jobs is still my role model but Wil is such a good writer that I think it's terrible for the rest of us that he can write prose as well ...

Back from vacation

Thursday, July 13th, 2006

I spent the last week on vacation with my family (mostly in Disneyland Paris) and arrived back yesterday. I'm hoping that over tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday we'll get our server organised and everything set up ready for the SyncBridge beta. As long as we announce before Omni announces ...
