Rocket Plumes

I'm a software developer. with over 15 years experience, living in Salt Lake City, Utah. I have written a few articles and presented some talks on Java, Ruby, and their use on Mac OS X. Here you will find random thoughts from a not so random guy about software, entertainment, American culture, and anything else I feel like writing about.

infiniteNIL News Blog

I've created a new blog on the infiniteNIL site specifically for infiniteNIL News. So for news about infiniteNIL and its products, go to http://www.infinitenil.com/blog. If you have subscribed to the Atom feed of this blog you will now need to subscribe to the feed of the new blog. This blog will continue as well, but I will only write about things not related to infiniteNIL.

On a technical note, the new blog uses WordPress. I've wanted to add categories to my blog for a long time and the new Blogger beta supported that but not for a blog with FTP publishing which I used. WordPress gives me what I want and more control. I will be switching this blog over to WordPress as well.

Downtime

You may have noticed that the infinitenil.com website has been done for a few days. I didn't notice it till tonight. I've been working on having an infiniteNIL specific blog and I messed things up. Sorry about that.

Basecamp Client: Any Interest?

I'm considering developing a client for Basecamp similar to PackRat. If you'd be interested in such a product, let me know. I'd also like to know what you think it should do and what features it should have. I think this product has even more potential than PackRat and I'd love to get some feedback.

PhoneWord Address Book Plug-in Movie

The demo movie is up and working without the demo watermark. I tried the demo version of Snapz Pro X 2.0.2 and it worked great so I bought a license and posted the movie tonight. It looks great. Movie captures like this are an awesome way to show features and demo software on the web. I think Ruby on Rails started the trend and I think it's here to stay.

PhoneWord 1.3

Friday, I released PhoneWord 1.3. People have already bought some copies, which is cool, because I haven't even advertised it yet. Maybe people really like the new Address Book plug-in, which really is a nice feature. You'll notice that there is a demo movie link which is supposed to show a movie of the plug-in in action, but I can't get it to work. Anybody, know how to get TextDrive to serve up a movie properly? Maybe, I'll have to break down and buy a license to Snapz Pro X. First, I'll try the demo version.
