SyncBridge is done.
July 7th, 2006 | by mj |Yeah, you heard me. It’s complete.
We’ve just got some infrastructure stuff to do now. Get a digital certificate (GoDaddy are pissing about and handing me from support team to support team) sorted and get a new fast server sorted (again, we have one but the host, DedicatedNOW, started asking for all sort of pissy information which amount to an identity theft starter kit. I swear, if it had been possible to email organic material, they’d have asked for some. And this was AFTER they’d charged my card!).
At the end of the day, if you charge IN ADVANCE for a service that NEVER LEAVES YOUR DATACENTRE and YOU HAVE MY MONEY, why do you need a copy of photographic ID with a signature and copies of the front and back of my credit card?
Anyway. We’ll be moving to our new server homes in the next couple of days while Aidan is taking some well-deserved time off. It’s a common holiday period in Northern Ireland due the fifth season (Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring and Marching). They’re calling it OrangeFest this year which is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Are they going to rebrand St Pat’s Day as “GreenFest”?
It’s been over a week now since Aidan fixed the last bug and the only issue we have had is with some bugs in SyncServices - code that we don’t have access to. Aidan has filed a bug report and it’s apparently a duplicate so there’s not a lot we can do there. It’s not a showstopper but it makes me wish Apple were a little more transparent with this sort of things with their paid-up developers if not all their ADC partners.
We’re opening the doors for the first public beta. I have a list of people, Aidan has a list of people and it’ll feel weird giving access to this cool piece of software to people we don’t know personally. Not long now.
