ThinkMac SoftwareInstantGallery 2 update
I really should stop promising software in ‘x’ amount of time because I’m a bit hopeless with deadlines when it comes to software. Needless to say InstantGallery 2 will be fashionably late. It will however seriously rock your world if you want to make amazing photo gallery based websites. I’ve put together a quick videocast to demo how I’ve incorporated lots and…
NewsLife Beta 3 is here
Beta 3 has been a long time coming, mostly due to a crush of icon work that has refused to let up since January. But finally today it’s out. It’s not a massive update by any means, but now the Sparkle update framework is in there it should be easier to roll out incremental updates every few weeks. Beta 3 addresses the…
InstantGallery on macZOT
I’m excited to announce InstantGallery will be featured on macZOT tomorrow. If you’ve not heard of macZOT before, it’s a site that offers great shareware apps at low, low prices, but in a limited quantity and for a short period of time.

NSURLConnection woes
I’ve been trying to improve the speed at which things download in NewsMac Pro as well as provide support for things like feeds which require authentication. The logical choice seemed to be moving from using NSURLHandle and friends to NSURLConnection which was introduced with WebKit back in OS X 10.2.7. The first thing that struck me about NSURLConnection was that it was…

Be small and unintrusive.NewsMac Pro was always a bit of a screen hog, the problem is when you’ve got a lot of information to display there is only so much you can do about making things physically smaller on the screen before you start to compromise usability. NewsLife is parred down to the minimum you need to see to use the app…
