That was quick!

A while back, Roustem over at Agile Web Solutions gave me a special link to send out to Yellow Mug users. Here it is:

And this is when I realized how much I’ve come to depend on 1Password.

I’m sure Roustem and Dave are busy addressing this issue and will come out with a fix soon. But in the meantime, this is one good reason for 1Password users to wait a while before upgrading Safari.

For those who haven’t tried 1Password, it is a great cross-browser password manager and more. 1Password rocks. Check it out here.

When the primary service is not available (which has been the case for the last day or two), it switches to a secondary one. But there was an issue with the secondary service implementation.

I released FileChute 3.0.3 this morning to address this problem. Current FileChute users can update from within the app (”Check for Updates…”) or download the new version here:

To clear any cached broken short links, use the “Clear Cached Short URLs” item in the File menu.

Showing the contents of a folder rather than the icon of that folder itself simply made no sense to me. As a Mac user, I was annoyed by this behavior. As the developer of FolderBrander, this was really bad news because it made FolderBrander much less useful.

Fortunately, the latest update to OS X brings back the pre-Leopard behavior as an option. Ctrl-click on the folder in the Dock and select “Folder” for the “Display as” option. Macworld has a nice article by Dan Frakes summarizing the update with a brief mention of FolderBrander.

I was there for just a few months and he probably doesn’t remember me by name.

No, he wasn’t writing to beg me to go back and work for them. He happens to be a TapDex user and was experiencing some issues after upgrading to Leopard. I told him to grab the latest version and the problem went away.

Small world? Or is Yellow Mug huge? :-)

That’s $20 less than if you were to download and purchase a license directly from VMware.

If you are like me and have no patience, just download a copy from VMware and request a 30-day free trial license. Use the trial license until your copy arrives. Mine arrived this afternoon. I replaced the trial serial number with the one from the box and now I have a licensed copy.

I meant to post this earlier because there was a $20 rebate. The offer expired on Dec 31, 2007. But even without the rebate, this is still a great price. Amazon also carries Parallels Desktop for about $18 less than the retail price.

All Yellow Mug apps are Leopard compatible!

This has been the case for a while, I just haven’t gotten around to putting a big “Leopard Compatible” message on our website. It’s probably a good idea to do so since I get asked if our apps run on Mac OS X 10.5 almost daily.
