Mac OS X Hints publishes a nice review of Recent Tunes (why they call it Current Tunes is beyond me) and reminds me that I've been looking to give the product away for awhile now. If you're interested in the source code to Recent Tunes, please let me know. We'd like to see the application […]

Drunkenblog follows up with a bunch of quotes from folks with a Mac software gig regarding those kids who pirated Tiger. Slashdot links and comments, as it always does. It's shocking to read some of the viewpoints. Most seem to say something like "yeah, Apple has a right to sue, but should they sue so […]

I've got a lead on a good (Cocoa) programming job. The job entails importing and playing video, drawing colored lines and rectangles over the video, and allowing users to step through the video frame by frame. The product also includes a video library full of short videos that need to be played (or used for […]

Though eventual Bloglines integration is planned for PulpFiction, those wishing to get a head start on the whole thing should check out Bloglines in PulpFiction Newsreader. An XSL file marries PulpFiction to bloglines, and full instructions are included. Check it out!

I'll be brief and expose the details to those who are potential candidates. I have a standing offer to write a book covering Cocoa software development, and am seeking a co-author. The former co-author was/is, well, quite bad to be as gentle as possible, and so I am looking for a replacement. Incredible command of […]

We use a few defaults in PulpFiction to control the badge, and though you can't ever change them in the UI, they're quite accessible to those who what they're doing. The keys are FSSDockBadgeColor, FSSDockBadgeTextColor, and FSSDockBadgePosition. Here are some pertinent code snippets. You should be able to figure out what you need to do […]

Here's the changelog: Articles are no longer marked read when the preview pane is collapsed. Clicking on the dock with no windows […]

My friend Dave just let me know that PulpFiction earned 4½ mice in the March issue of Macworld. Better still is the fact that they reviewed PulpFiction 1.1.1 which, though a good piece of software, lacks quite a few nice features found in PulpFiction 1.2. Macworld's Buying Advice: We were excited to see so many […]

It just occurred to me today that 50% of the original staff of Cocoa Dev Central (Me, Jeff, Jason, Andy, Brad, Brian) worked or works for Apple. Andy's in Austria and hasn't applied, Brad is enjoying his role in life and hasn't applied, and Brian is quite young still (and has not applied). Nifty!

Tomorrow, we'll be releasing PulpFiction 1.2. On each of the past ten days, I've discussed one of PulpFiction's new features. Today's is the last one prior to its release, and it is my favorite. Today's feature: smart folders. If you can filter by something, you can likely create a smart folder by it as well. […]

On January 20*, we'll be releasing PulpFiction 1.2. On each of the next ten days, I'll be discussing a new feature we've added to my favorite aggregator.
