News Anchor for Mac OS X 2.4.6 Beta 3
Apparently enabling garbage collection in News Anchor 2.4.6 Beta 1 did more harm than good. Thus I’m releasing News Anchor 2.4.6 Beta 3 that fixes the issue.
News Anchor 2.4.6 Beta 1 is available
News Anchor 2.4.6 Beta 1 is out and fixes a compatibility issue with a future version of Mac OS X.
Mac OS X “Mountain Lion” will be more secure than ever
It may be well likely that Will Shipley has some influence in designing the Gatekeeper feature that will be a part of OS X “Mountain Lion” .
Resonate Development Update #2
In this second series of Resonate Development Update, you’ll see how Resonate can be used to show a Twitter stream in an overhead projection – to an LCD Projector or Television Set (with the appropriate cable). The use case was inspired by Monica Rankin’s Twitter Experiment where she used Twitter to aid class discussion. It […]
Resonate Development Update #1
Take a sneak peek of our (Basil Salad) new Twitter client is progressing. You’ll see the very rough implementation of tweet aggregation using word clouds.
Working on a word cloud engine
I’m starting work on a Twitter client with word clouds as its primary feature. My plan is to build the components separately as individual apps to get feedback and iterate from there. Some people in StartupGuild sounds interested in the concept and it looks like a guy in Quora wants word clouds in his Twitter […]
The iPad doesn’t need an Indonesian manual!
Two guys were arrested in Indonesia and sentenced to prison for selling a few iPads. The reason? Because the iPad doesn’t have an Indonesian-language manual. This is among the things that makes me embarrassed of my own country. It’s even more retarded than the case where the TSA caused a MacBook Air owner to miss […]
Lion "Production" Day One: Xcode snafu
The last (hopefully) last step of my migration to Lion was installing the latest public release of Xcode. Again I hit some snags. On first (and subsequent) launches, Xcode crashes with some undefined references to the iPhone SDK private plugin. The issue was finally resolved by re-installing iTunes 10.5 beta. It was Xcode 4.1.1 and […]
Finally bit the Lion bullet
I finally installed Mac OS X Lion on my main drive today. A wee bit earlier than my original plan of installing Lion only after iCloud comes out. The reason is that I’m starting a new project and I’d better make use of the latest tools and APIs that are available to me. It wasn’t […]

As usual, Mac App Store customers will need to run the current live version so that it will create the necessary license file. This version is primarily bug fixes and performance enhancements.

Changes from the last version: Performance improvements. Specifically the GUI should still be responsive even when you’re refreshing a lot of feeds. Growl support. Finally […]
Chrome is a hog, switching back to Safari
Google’s Chrome may be the fastest browser to date, but it does so by making everything else runs slower. Why? It’s such a memory hog, eating up almost twice the memory as Safari for the same web pages. If you also run other applications on the Mac, I suggest you use Safari instead of Chrome. […]
Fixing Mac App Store Missing Screenshots Issue
You’ve just updated your Mac OS X applications screenshots in the App Store. You’ve waited for a couple of hours to ensure that Apple have refreshed all their CDNs with your new copy of the screenshot and then you start the Mac App Store application and lookup your app’s page. Then you saw your screenshots […]
News Anchor grumo
After listening the Mixergy interview with Miguel Hernandez of Grumo Media, I’ve decided to give it a shot and create an explanatory video of News Anchor. As you can see for yourself, the style is ripped off directly from a grumo. Hey, imitation is a form of flattery, isn’t it? ;-) Let me know what […]
