Bug Tracker Moved

2007-07-06T06:01:00Z

I have been running around like a chicken with its head cut off recently searching for new hosting. I have finally settled and have a 2 server setup, my paid hosting and my own server. As a result I had to move our bug tracker off the nclasssoftware.com domain and to bugr.org where it currently resides. So please report any bugs or feature requests there.

WWDC ‘07

2007-06-08T17:08:00Z

Dale and I will both be at Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference next week. Feel free to drop us an e-mail if you want to meet up.

Congrats Dale

I would like to congratulate Dale on recently receiving an internship position on Apple’s Remote Desktop team. Dale is a very talented developer, he has written all of the scripts in Corripio along with designing the main icon. I know that he will be a great addition to the ARD project.

Good luck Dale!

0.7.1 Released

2007-05-31T16:21:00Z

The iTunes 7.2 problem has been resolved by Alastair Tse who makes the extremely powerful EyeTunes framework which had a new build today.

Whoa, that was a close one.... Thanks Alastair!

iTunes 7.2 Breaks Corripio

2007-05-30T19:19:00Z

As far as I can see iTunes ~~7.1~~ 7.2 has broken Corripio. Corripio uses Apple Events to communicate with iTunes, all of that seems to not be working… So I will start trying to figure out what the hell happened… Shakes fist at Apple…

Update: So after further digging, it seems to be that “Apple Events” are still intact, however the persistent IDs for the songs are overflowing (they were 64-bit already!). So it is not as bad as I thought, I hope to have a solution shortly.

Electric Boogaloo

2007-05-24T23:00:00Z

Following Desmond Elliott’s footsteps in blogging about his experiences with Google Summer of Code and Camino, I will be starting up my own blog on GSoC. It will be launched sometime next week. Once it goes public all of my Camino/Tabpos

Tabposé

2007-05-24T00:19:00Z

Yesterday we had the first scoping meeting for my GSoC project. After we made some preliminary decisions in the meeting, I set out to make some mock-ups of how I envision Tabpos

00.7 License To Kill

2007-05-21T04:28:00Z

After months of retooling, Corripio 0.7 has finally landed. There are many new features in this version. I have learned a lot from developing Corripio over the past year and a half. This release was focused on fixing the things I didn’t know in the beginning. 0.7 was a major re-write of the code base and a new jab at the UI.

The biggest feature that I am most excited about is the ability to add user generated scripts. This will add legs to Corripio by being able to evolve quickly to new sites and databases. If you make a script, send it to me and I’ll put it on the site.

Now i’m off to start on here or check out the latest builds.

The Google Image Search says it all…

WWDC Ahoy!

2007-04-20T22:37:00Z

For the second year in a row I was awarded with the opportunity to attend Apple’s World Wide Developer Conference. It looks to be yet another great week in geek heaven for me. See you all in California!

Accepted Into GSoC

2007-04-13T00:35:00Z

Yesterday I was accepted into the Google Summer of Code. I will be working with the Mozilla Foundation on Camino. My project proposal was for BarCamp Boston 2 and man was it fun! A bunch of friends and I entered the programming contest and got 3rd with Geneguin a Genetic Penguin Breeding Program. A video of all the entries can be found here. I also demoed HAL9000, a small speech recognition app that I made and soon to release here when the new site gets launched in a few weeks.

In regards to upcoming software. We are getting ready to release 3 new apps, one of which is HAL. They will all be free and GPL’ed. I am in the middle of reworking some of Corripio’s artwork code for much better stability. Look for it in the coming weeks as well.

Using Treo 680 With Mac Bluetooth

2006-12-26T15:27:00Z

Yesterday I was able to setup my phone to act as a modem over bluetooth to my laptop. It’s not as easy as just selecting a few options. So I thought I would put up all the info you need to get it working.

The information that you need to fill in when asked is:

Username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1
GPRS CID String or Telephone number: wap.cingular
Modem: Generic GPRS CID1 +CGQREQ

Then follow the instructions at captnswing.net.

Dev House Boston Over

2006-12-14T13:37:00Z

This past weekend I attended Dev House Boston and with the help of Dan Pickett, Kyle Bradshaw, and Corey Goldberg I was able to add new functionality to Corripio. I had no intentions to work on Corripio when I got to Dev House, however Kyle heard that I was a Mac developer and was wondering if there were any Mac equivalents to Tag & Rename. So from there we set out to add the ability to fetch missing tag information from the web via Amazon. We were able to finish the ruby script that pulls the information from Amazon by the time the day was over. I am still working on incorporating it into Corripio, look for it in the next version.
