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. Today's feature is a simple one: we've added support for "another aggregator's" stylesheets. They load within PulpFiction's "Web Display" preferences in their own section. So now, not only […]

Are there any database-knowledgeable golfers out there? Or perhaps a golf-knowledgeable database administrator? I'm working on a little project and am trying to set up a database. Database design is important, and if the database is simple I (anyone) can do it. This one's a little more complex. Starting with the right design will save […]

We've added support for servers that require authentication. PulpFiction can grab a username and a password from your Keychain. If none exists, it'll ask you to […]

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. People have asked about our removal of a feature we used to call "Filterize" in PulpFiction 1.1. It was a bad name that indicated that we didn't know […]

The home page of a company I'd only ever heard of a few times before today has taken a potshot at Apple for stupid things, and I'm bored enough to take a few pot shots back. My text appears in light grey. The release of Black & Bleu™ v10 marks the end of our participation […]

Bill Bumgarner has also seen the advantages in using Rainer Brockerhoff's RBSplitView over the standard NSSplitView. PulpFiction 1.2 will remove our hacked up NSSplitView and use RBSplitView. The title of this post may give you a clue as to what this has allowed us to do. Total time to convert from our hacked up NSSplitView […]

The downside to using Mail's familiar UI is that sometimes people say "PulpFiction treats your feeds like email." Y'see, that's not exactly true. PulpFiction has an interface like Mail - a drawer with folders and […]

Scott and I are kicking around an idea, and we'd like to consult with an OpenGL developer on a potential new business. I can't give away too many details, but the basics are this: Custom 3D software for vertical market Leverages Mac OS X/OpenGL Software used to leverage services or be sold outright Related question: […]

Jason Kottke has quoted me on RSS/Atom Ad (Blocking). It's true that we've had "filter ads" since before release (the picture shows 9-22-04, because that's the day we reinstalled Mantis, our bug-tracker - and you can see a few other features in the screenshot). He then asks another question of us: Newsreader makers… how will […]
