• 08.31.08 MoodBlast update, fix for Adium 1.3 bug posted in Geekery

  MoodBlast 3.2.2 is out and available on the download page. Other than a few minor interface repairs, it’s just a fix which allows Adium 1.3 to be updated. It was a stupid bug, shouldn’t have taken me as long as it did to find it, but all seems well now. If you have problems, contact me. There are other features in the works, but I dropped back to the stable release and made this fix in the interest of getting it out the door quickly. Enjoy.

• 08.26.08 Adium and MoodBlast posted in Geekery

  As many of you know, the new version of Adium has broken MoodBlast. A few users are also reporting random loss of all preferences after a restart. I’m working to fix both problems, but my schedule is (still) insane. I’ll try to update the blog a little more with progress reports, and watch for a new release soon.

• 06.28.08 Coming up for air posted in Geekery

  So, I haven’t been able to put the time into MoodBlast lately that I’ve wanted to. I have reports that it’s stopped working with the new Adium beta and some Tumblr troubles. I’ve also received a developer key for ping.fm, which could lead to some very cool things… once I find the time to make them happen. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to wrap up the branch I’m working on this week and put out a release that will address immediate concerns. Thanks to everyone for your bug reports and feedback, if I haven’t responded directly to you, it’s not because I didn’t mean to. Chances are, you’ll hear from me eventually…

• 05.09.08 MoodBlast 3.2: Leopard Only! posted in Geekery

  With version 3.2, MoodBlast is now Leopard-only. This is to ease future development of a program that I love… but that doesn’t exactly pay the bills. This change does allow for a slicker interface and memory management will continue to improve as I rewrite chunks of code. If you’re still on Tiger, don’t upgrade! Your current version will continue to function and you won’t be missing much for a while.

• 03.25.08 Pownce Posting Error: Solved posted in Geekery

  For everyone experiencing posting errors with Pownce, especially prevalent after a reboot, fear not. I believe I’ve found the issue and MoodBlast will version up before I leave for my brother’s wedding on Thursday. I’m seriously considering a redesign, maybe back to a HUD, but time will tell.

• 03.02.08 MoodBlast 3.0.7.x problems posted in Geekery

  I’m discovering some fundamental problems with the new preferences system that were apparently dormant for myself and early testers. It’s currently looking like I’ll be merging back the changes in that area while trying to maintain any new functionality. I apologize to anyone who’s having problems… I should have a fix out in the next day or two. Thanks to everyone for feedback and bug reports so far.

• 03.01.08 MoodBlast now hearts Pownce posted in Geekery

  That’s right, we finally got Pownce support. I’ve also fixed the “Start Hidden” feature. The most significant change is actually a complete rewrite of the preference storage code. The new version will make every attempt to convert your previous preferences, but you may end up re-entering them if it fails. I apologize for any inconvenience, but it should completely eradicate the Applescript/file access problems of yesteryear. Have at it.

• 02.29.08 And then there was Pownce posted in Geekery

  And somehow the Pownce API release slipped below my radar last night. I’ve already got the authentication and app registration figured out, just need to add some Obj-C code for posting from MoodBlast. For now, only public messages will be supported. Support for links will be coming soon, and I may work out some parameters for specifying lists of recipients. All in due time.
