Have tried to update this for Snow Leopard and had mixed results.

Really want threads to be automagically-closed after a defined period of time. I have no interest in comments on old thread.

I've stopped using SVN so I probably wont ever be upgrading this to Snow Leopard. Sorry!

If you have run clang static analyzer on your code, you have bugs...

For some reason Xcode's Build & Analyze option doesn't find issues that the command line static analysis tool DOES find. Rather annoying.

Ha.

One problem I find with Disqus (I use it at toxicsoftware) is that you can't automatically lock threads after N months. So I get a lot of dubious comments on my site on really really old threads. (And as I haven't blogged in, oooh, six months, most of my threads are old)

Re: What We Can Learn From MacHeist

Yup. They certainly get what it takes to market the bundle.

Personally, I really don't have any trouble with the concept itself. Developers are making money (otherwise they wouldn't do it), charities make some money, consumers win more than anyone else. I don't think it is necessarily driving down the value of Mac apps (if it was run monthly then sure - that would be a more valid argument) . I just have problems with the guys running it. I don't shop at Walmart because I don't like their business practices, I moved my domains off of godaddy.com once I knew the owner was using godaddy as a forum for his xenophobia, etc, etc. I don't like funding douchebags.

However that's a personal thing and I have to say, The Hit List and Expresso for $40 is VERY compelling.

Not sure I necessarily agree with you there (although the t-shirt deli does looks fun). The t-shirt deli metaphor really doesn't work too well I think - they're actually custom making you a new t-shirt, they're not taking cool shirts from bustedtees or somewhere and selling them for pennies.

I would have to say the game part of Macheist has basically dwindled to not relevant. Macheist is now really just a package of N apps for $X. You go to the site, you buy the package, you get the apps, a few days later you'll get the other two apps unlocked (which is pretty much a certainty). Where's the game?

Yes YOU can. I ain't going anywhere near that thing.

Hey Bruce,

I haven't used FileVault in years - since this blog post actually. Wish I could help but really - might be time to create a new user account and swap your files manually? I don't know.

Sorry.

Hey Julie,

My word. What has it been - 25 years? I don't know - something like that! How are you? I'm doing really well. I'll check out your friendsreunited page.

More info. Also please email it to me rather than using blog comments. I respond to email a lot faster.

Yeah all layers are MS.

It might be hard at first to plugin yahoo or google data… The code was originally written just for MSVE. It can be done - and there is obviously interest - but its not going to happen overnight.

Fabien, the code is now online. I haven't been able to work on it too much lately (Obama craziness - see other posts) but the code is here:

Overlay support is semi-there. I just need to expose the interface a
little bit better.

I think that's a great idea. I often have clients asking me if I can recommend a designer.

Haha.

Well I think Macyenta and my list serve different purposes.

Not quite that bad. But it does need to be slimmed down somewhat so
people know how to use it in there apps

Re: Looking for iPhone Software Professionals?

Not every application is going to make $250,000 in three months. Or even in three years. A lot of people are doing very well indeed, I personally know quite a few people doing great. But it takes skill, energy, intelligence and a certain amount of luck.

As for difficulty finding developers, that's more to do with the fact there's an incredible demand for developers rather than all developers are off writing their own apps.

If you feel you'll be better rewarded writing your own apps go for it. But it really isn't anything to do with this blog post.

Good for you.

I would love to open source all of it. And there is a pretty good chance that will happen. I'll certainly blog about it if were to happen - so watch this space so to speak.

With that said about 1/3rd of the code in Obama 08 came from my already OpenSource repository of iPhone source code: http://code.google.com/p/touchcode/
