This is good news: Apple has taken a neutral position on iPhone development.
Back when Apple said "no" to third-party APIs, many took that to mean they would take steps to exclude third-party apps from the iPhone. It turns out that installing an application is in fact easier on the iPhone (via Installer.app) than it is [...]

Hardy Har…
British woman goes for weeks without showering, skincare products as an experiment. When asked how she felt, she replied "Je me sens très bien. Un peu graisseux, mais rien trop mauvais."
I'm going to spend some time today playing with iUI. Ideally, some of the plugins which show a different theme for even WordPress blogs [...]

Cyndicate 1.0.2 is coming along on Monday of next week. In addition to a funny registration bug (it would display negative day counts), a negative count, some stylesheet fixes, and other little bugs, there's a minor speed bump and other small fixes included.
If you've set your Cyndicate's update preferences to check daily, you should see [...]
Cyndicate (and Scorecard) users should make sure they drop in to the Cynical Peak Forum.
I'm considering picking up an iPhone well in advance of any official AT&T takeover of Cellular One. The reason? Cyndicate may have some features coming that need the testing capabilities.
I don't know, though… it'll be tough to justify the $60/month as a test unit. Perhaps I can just cancel my account after signing up (within [...]

I'm pleased to announce that we've set up a coupon code for registered PulpFiction users to get a copy of Cyndicate at 20% savings.
To get the coupon code, please send an email to support@cynicalpeak.com. Include your name, email address, and PulpFiction registration code.
Some more Cyndicate tips for you:
If you hold down the option key, "Mark Unread" and "Delete" become "Mark All Unread" and "Delete All."
There are a few contextual menus. Give them a try.
Clicking the "Share This" toolbar icon quickly will prepare an email.
Not a Cyndicate tip per se, but if you want to add a keyboard [...]
Some quick thoughts on Cyndicate:
If you'd like a blank database, you can get one here.
No, we don't include an inline browser. We left this out on purpose. Why re-invent the wheel? People use a variety of browsers these days, so why limit them to a WebKit one? Browsers support session saving and all sorts of [...]
Cyndicate, or PulpFiction 2.0 as some might call it, is now available. Previously known as Iris on this blog, Cyndicate brings some pretty nifty features to a PulpFiction-like feed reader.
Ratings
One of the coolest features is ratings. If we can use Bayesian methods to determine whether email is spam or not, why not apply the same [...]
Cyndicate will be released on August 1. All that means is that I've got a lot of work to do on Sunday writing the user guide.
