I’m off to Las Vegas tomorrow evening for the National Association of Broadcasters show. If you happen to be attending the show and feel like saying hello, I’ll be demoing Soundtrack Pro in the Apple booth Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. See you there!
Thanks to some gentle prodding from Ted Leung, I finally got around to producing a Cocoalicious Universal Binary release (b41) this week. This version also has support for del.icio.us’ long awaited private bookmarking feature (if you check the “private” box while posting, Cocoalicious marks the post in its own local cache as private and flags it as private when uploading to del.icio.us). Finally, I also incorporated the latest version of the Sparkle Software Update framework (which just keeps getting better and better, by the way). Enjoy!
A little while ago I introduced a field on my weblog’s comments form asking users to simply enter my first name. I did this, following Andrew Wooster’s suggestion, as a simple but amazingly effective anti-spam measure. Unfortunately, I think it’s been a little too effective: since I introduced it I’ve gotten noticeably fewer comments, as well as some confused emails. With this in mind, I just wanted to take a moment to clarify that this field is not meant to be some sort of riddle or exclusivity test: when it asks “What is Buzz’s first name?” it’s looking for “Buzz.”
Since this does seem to be a consistent source of confusion, however (and I can see how it would be, since “Buzz” is actually a nickname), I’m definitely going to change the wording to something clearer. Apologies for the ambiguity.
