Update

Saturday, March 10th, 2007

We currently have four projects on the bench out of a list of around 20 possible ideas. We have a new hire which technically brings the number of people in Infurious up to 4. This is good, right? It means we can do more stuff which is good. Project #1: Some ...

UI Prototying

Friday, February 2nd, 2007

As we move into the testing of Product B in preparation for a later release, I'm buoyed up by this article on using paper to prototype user interfaces. To be honest I already do this, using drawing skills gained by disembowelling and drawing the corpses of small animals and plants during ...

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 ...

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 ...

Letting my kid outside

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

It never occurred to me until yesterday just how much SyncBridge has been my little child. When I first created the sync engine, it wasn't allowed out of the house, although I occasionally sent photos to close relatives (I was using it to synchronize between multiple user accounts on my machine, ...

RubyCocoa SyncServices wrapper

Friday, June 16th, 2006

Sorry I haven't posted this earlier - I got another request for it in an e-mail today, so I feel prompted to do so now. Hopefully this will get added to the standard RubyCocoa install. I've been using the wrapper without issue for about five months, during the ...

Typo comments feed not working

Wednesday, June 7th, 2006

The comments feed wasn't working in our Typo install (as of build 1055 which is the latest at time of writing). This was also reported on the Typo Trac, so I've posted the solution there. Technorati Tags: typo

Google Calendar? 30 Boxes? Yahoo!?

Tuesday, June 6th, 2006

I sent a request to Google, asking if they'd be interested in partnering with us to allow people to sync iCal with Google Calendar (using SyncBridge). According to their terms of use, we can't release any code which is for commercial use. The relevant part is: If you want ...

Moving from WEBrick to lighttpd/FastCGI in Nitro

Tuesday, June 6th, 2006

As we rapidly approach our semi-public Beta stage, I've switched from using WEBrick to Lighttpd (or 'lightie' as they like to call it *shudder*) as the web server. This also means switching to FastCGI. A brief overview on Oxyliquit gives the configuration that you'll need which usually lives ...

RubyCocoa (and SyncServices)

Wednesday, April 12th, 2006

In case it hasn't become obvious by now, SyncBridge 1.0 is partially implemented using the RubyCocoa library (for all the usual reasons that one would choose Ruby over Objective-C). I've had to wrap the SyncServices API such that Ruby understands it (and I'll be releasing that very soon as ...
