  • 1.1.08 Looking forward… posted in Circle Six Happenings

    I’m still here. Granted, my posting rate will be slower now that I’m blogging for TUAW, but I’m hoping I never stop running out of things to write about here. The focus of the blog may shift a little as time goes on, but it will still be a mac-centric geek blog. You wouldn’t accept anything less, right? I’ve been holding off on a few topics until I find my niche in my new endeavor, at which point I’ll have a better feel for what goes where. And no, MoodBlast isn’t dead either. Far from it. Pownce is coming up soon, and I have some massive interface changes in mind. It’s going to be a fun year!

  • 12.20.07 MoodBlast 3.0 posted in Geekery

    It’s here. The ultra-fast, slimmed down, sexier MoodBlast. And it’s still donationware. It’s a long story, but if you want to pretend that there’s a 21 day time limit and some crippled features that will be enabled when you send me money, that’s fine. The (almost complete) changelog is below. You can download the new version using your auto-update or head to the download page.

  • 11.24.07 Project Status Report: November 2007 posted in Geekery

    I have way too many irons in the fire right now. I thought I’d offer a quick status report on various projects so that those of you who are waiting for particular updates have an idea what’s happening…

  • 11.2.07 mailBlast, Mobile Blasting posted in Geekery

    Granted, it’s not nearly the ideal solution to a mobile MoodBlast, but this script will allow you to send an email from anywhere and blast from your home computer. You can use whatever rules you like to trigger it and to make it secure. Once called, the script checks the subject to see if it begins with “blast”. If it does, it will send the remainder of the string to MoodBlast…

  • 10.31.07 Spots AND Stripes for MoodBlast 2.49.9 posted in Geekery

    Well, based on my testing, version 2.49.9 of MoodBlast should fix the initial Leopard problems while maintaining backwards compatibility. I eagerly await your bug reports. Cut, copy and paste are back for Leopard users. There are a few error reports I got that I was unable to replicate, and I’m hoping that building with the Leopard SDK will just take care of them. We’ll see. New version on the download page.

  • 10.27.07 MoodBlast version up: 2.49.8 posted in Geekery

    It’s mostly bugfixes, but there are some new options in the general preferences. And support is added for NetNewsWire. If you haven’t checked out the iCal integration, you should. I’m loving it. Visit the download page or use the “Check for Updates” feature in MoodBlast.

  • 10.22.07 An iTunes Monitor for MoodBlast posted in Geekery

    A better solution: Proxi from Griffin has a built in iTunes monitor with lots of other fun stuff. You can just trigger a basic applescript on track change that sends “^s Rocking out to !itune”, replacing ^s with whatever services it should blast to. If you run “if player state is playing” […]

  • 10.21.07 MoodBlast with Applescript Goodness posted in Geekery

    MoodBlast now has Applescript support. That means you can use all of its functionality from any program that supports Applescript. If you have a program to monitor track changes in iTunes, you can use that as well. And you can blast from Quicksilver with this simple action…
