Rivet, Cyndicate, Scorecard Updates

Posted March 18th, 2008 @ 10:58am by Erik J. Barzeski

Rivet, Cynical Peak's software for connecting your Mac to your Xbox 360 to stream movies, music, and photos, is coming along well. We have one more beta to release (most likely) and then we'll begin selling it.

Cyndicate is going to be bumped to version 1.2 shortly. We've made a dramatic improvement to startup speed and added a few features. Quitting Cyndicate now results in some database optimization. It defaults to a time period that's a bit longer than I like, but if you want to set the key manually you can do so by setting "IROptimizePeriod" to whatever period you'd like (in seconds). Mine is defaults write com.CynicalPeak.Cyndicate IROptimizePeriod 3600.

Scorecard is selling well for both Windows and Mac OS X. We too were among the many given the "wait a bit longer" iPhone SDK response from Apple, but we're optimistic and will look to add iPhone scoring and syncing to Scorecard as soon as possible. For a limited time, you can save 20% by using the coupon code "SANDTRAP" at checkout.

    I don't have a 360 yet, but a friend does, and he is anxiously awaiting your Rivet software. When I get a 360, I'll want it too.

    Great to hear about Rivet. I've had connect360 for awhile now and it used to work with my mac mini under Tiger. However, it's never worked with my iMac under either Tiger or Panther.

    I'm a huge fan of Scorecard and look forward to the new release! Any chance of a beta invite? 😆
