I’m pleased to announce that CMEasy for iPhone/iPod Touch is now available in the App Store. CMEasy is an app designed to make it easy and painless to keep track of all of your Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits. For any given activity you store the date, duration, type of activity and category, allowing you [...]

A couple of weeks ago I submitted my latest creation (CMEasy – more on that later) to the iOS App Store. After a week or purgatory it entered the review phase, and then quickly was approved for sale. It was at that point that I noticed something rather unfortunate about my submission, the icon displayed [...]

I’ve recently been working on a fairly major project, and needed a bit of a break. Around the same time it occurred to me that 90% of my phone calls were to my wife, and it would really be nice to have an app that would dial her number with just a single touch, so [...]

I was combing through my website referral logs today, and came across an interesting traffic source – a post at MacDigger.ru on the top 100 Mac productivity apps. Now I don’t speak Russian, but I do have access to Google’s wonderful automatic translation: OneThingToday – There are many ways to clean up the business. With [...]

I am pleased to announce that Nuper is now available for purchase on the Mac App Store. What’s Nuper? Good question. Nuper is my approach to tracking your favorite blogs via RSS.

This is a big deal for users running 10.7 because v1.0.1 didn’t work under 10.7 (turns out it was a problem in the embedded EDMessage framework). Why did it take so long? This is embarrassing to admit [...]

In all the excitement leading up to iCloud I forgot to mention this one last week, but OneThingToday v1.0.9 is now available on the Mac App Store. Please take some time to digest this extensive list of new features: Added the option to make the Sticky window float on top of all other windows. Seriously, [...]

The Bad The other day I mentioned some window size annoyances with Xcode 4. Today I’m back with another annoyance. Editing the GUI of a reasonably complex (GUI-wise) piece of scientific software I wrote is virtually impossible on my machine. Mouse clicks take about 5 seconds to register, and good luck invoking any kind of [...]

I’m happy to announce that EmailMyCal v1.0.1 is now available on the Mac App Store. This version adds exactly one feature: The ability to include today’s and/or tomorrow’s agenda in the daily email So now you can get today’s agenda early in the day, or tomorrow’s agenda late in the day, or just get them [...]
