Brad and I are maintaining a very small blog at CynicalPeakLog documenting some of the software we're working on. Currently released, of course, is Scorecard, a golf statistics app I helped define. If you're interested in what we're up to, subscribe to the feed.

Ah, yes, the flammable Wil Shipley - the not-so-delicious monster of Mac development. Wil publishes a long rant on the tired old topic of Carbon vs. Cocoa, some folks resond, and Wil goes off. Hasn't this happened before? Wil's latest article contains a number of errors and silly comments, including his disparaging of FSRefs, his […]

A friend of mine gave me the PDF version of the Agile Web Development book I've been reading (I own the full verison, but it's easier to view a PDF when you're writing code than to go back and forth from book to screen), and one question keeps popping up: why, if '' takes less […]

I followed these instructions for setting up these apps on Tiger and am all set. A few of the software packages had small revisions/updates, so I installed those. Now I think I'm set. P.S. Not all set. This readline issue has popped up and I have ben unable to eliminate it so far. I've posted […]

I've spent the past hour playing with my licensed copy of Billable and I've come away impressed. Despite the fact that I'm (currently) out of the "invoice a bunch of smaller clients" mode (long-term contract work is so much smoother), I can see how Billable will pay for itself within minutes. Freelancers charge by the […]

I'm thinking of starting a small online "middle-man" shop. I would take orders, charge customers, and then buy from a company that doesn't sell to individuals and they'd create and drop-ship the product. I'm thinking of hosting the site with TextDrive and using Ruby on Rails to power the site. I'd have to learn RoR, […]

So says Daniel Jalkut, and I agree. Absolutely nothing in the development process made me feel as stupid as trying to add AppleScript support. It's ten times harder than figuring out how to write AppleScript… and that's saying something.

Many years ago, I owned two sites: Sound Set Central and AppleScript Central. Both had sound sets and AppleScripts primarily for the Microsoft email clients, though some of the AppleScripts worked with iTunes, AOL Instant Messenger, the Finder, and other applications, and some of the Sound Sets could be used with other applications as well. […]

Ha. Don Yacktman cares so little about Freshly Squeezed Software that he hasn't yet noticed that "freshsqueeze.com" - the base href on the FSS site, expired on August 24 (two days ago) and now resolves to Dotster's "revenuedirect.com" site. Two of the other domains (freshlysqueezedsw.com and .net) are also "dead" as of August 24. As […]

By the way… Iris is the name you'll want to look for on this blog. And in the meantime, remember to check out Scorecard.

Just wondering… if one were to recreate PulpFiction (i.e. all that it was and then some on top of that), what would you name such an application if you were in charge of naming such a product? Assume for the sake of argument that "NetNewsWire," "PulpFiction," "NewsFire," "Safari," and all variations and others not named […]

Scorecard 1.0 - an application a year in development (well, in calendar time, if you get the drift…) is now available. I've worked with Brad on this project for quite some time, and have been using it for months to keep track of my golf statistics. It works beautifully. There really are no comparative products […]

Brad, formerly of Freshly Squeezed Software (I now even refuse to link to the site) and I have been working for awhile on a golf statistics application called Scorecard. It's set to release very soon. We're looking for a Windows developer to port the 1.0 version (and subsequent updates) to Windows. Ideally, such a developer […]

The software package Brad and I (98/2) have been working on will be available next week. Yippeee!

A good pal of mine and a great developer with a level head and a keen sense of the Mac market is looking to buy Freshly Squeezed Software from its new owner. The new owner - who has done nothing but sell the software without doing an ounce of support or software authoring apparently wants […]
