I’m getting ready to head back tomorrow. I had a blast here in California for WWDC. There are going to be a lot of new things coming in Corripio, thanks to a greater understanding of Mac UI and Cocoa programming. I hope to come back next year! Now I need to get packing and remove all my bottles (and snakes) from my carry on luggage.

I’m all ready to begin my stay here for all things Macintosh. You can view my pictures throughout the week at http://www.flickr.com/photos/jdlouhy/. I also got some work done on Corripio on the plane (what else am I going to do for 6 hours?). Let me know if this beta crashes when you skip. Get 0.5.2b here.

Today I am off for Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference. I cannot contain my joy! I am looking forward to seeing what new goodies Apple has to unveil along with the events planned throughout the week. I hope to come back with as much information my brain can process. With that new information I hope to add new features to Corripio as well as our next application . I hope to see you there!

Today I released 0.5.1. I normally do not like releasing a new version just 2 days after another one because it makes me look sloppy. However a bug came up that was not caught in any of the betas or release candidates that caused Corripio to crash when skipping artwork. I was able to fix that along with my spelling and capitalization errors. So I am sorry that I released it so suddenly but I think its better that the users have the most stable release possible.

Update:

The skipping bug also may be related to your computer being behind a web proxy causing no artwork to be downloaded causing a blank selection. If this is the case with anyone, please comment.

I would not recommend selecting “Show All Artwork From All Sources” in the preferences. This feature searches all the sources at once and will result in many results and seems to be where the skipping bug is. If you leave it unchecked Corripio will search each source at once, if nothing is found at one source it will move on to the next one.

Here at nClass Software we host and run our own server. However being recent high school graduates and not having many options for high speed internet, we can only get 1mbit upload speeds for $99 a month. So I apologize for any inconveniences due to our page load times. If anybody knows of any ISPs (reasonably priced) with upload speeds greater than 1mbit in New Jersey, please e-mail us. Our current dilemma can be summed up by Sen. Ted Stevens, “nClass servers internet tubes are currently being filled up with enormous amounts of material.”
