Photo Gallery Update

Friday, May 7th, 2010

Today I updated my photo gallery with a new layout and navigation. I found a nice open-source application to help with gallery and image management, and replaced my home-grown scripts.

I also added some new photos to the Random Selection album. Enjoy.

DeliciousSQLExport 2.1 Released

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

Today I released Version 2.1 of DeliciousSQLExport. Nothing earth-shattering, just a couple of bug fixes related to dates and some minor user interface improvements.

Filemaker Releases Bento 3

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Today Filemaker, Inc. released Bento 3. One of the major new features is database sharing. For details, see the new features page.

I created my freeware application, Shokado Web Sharing for Bento, precisely because of the lack of sharing capabilities in Bento. Now that Bento has sharing, Shokado may be unnecessary. On the other hand, since Bento sharing is limited to 5 computers, each running Bento, some people might still want a read-only, web sharing solution.

Let me know what you think.

Shokado 2.04 Released

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

Today I released Shokado Web Sharing for Bento, Version 2.04.

This release is compatible with Bento 2.04 only. No major changes were made to the application.

Shokado Version 2.01 Released

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

Today I posted Version 2.01 of Shokado Web Sharing Tool For Bento, my PHP web application that lets you share your Bento database on your local network.

This new version provides support for Bento 2.0. Apparently, the folks at Filemaker re-wrote the whole thing, and so reverse-engineering their database was a major hassle. I’m still not quite finished, but it will do for now.

Please visit the Freeware page for more information and download.

Balloon Ride

Monday, October 13th, 2008

Today I posted a selection of photos from our balloon ride this past weekend. We flew over St. Charles county with the good people from Balloons Over St. Louis. Take-off was around 7:00 AM, just after sunrise; it was a beautiful although somewhat foggy morning. It was a great time, and I’d recommend it for anyone.

Check out the photos page to see the new album,

Blogging with MacJournal

Sunday, September 14th, 2008

Last week I bought the MacUpdate promo bundle which included, among others, MacJournal. I’ve tried some journal software before, but as never really satisfied. One of the really nice features of MacJournal is that you can easily send your journal entries to your blog.

So for now at least, I’m going to try to use MacJournal as my primary mechanism for posting here.

Blog Upgrade

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

Today I upgraded my blog to the latest version of WordPress. Unfortunately, all my categories were wiped out. Apparently, this is a known issue. Apart from that, the upgrade was fairly smooth. Part of the reason for the upgrade was to allow me to use the new iPhone WordPress application for posting. We’ll see how it goes…

DeliciousSQLExport 2.0 Released

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

Today the a new and improved Version 2.0 of DeliciousSQLExport has been released. See the Freeware page for information and the download.

This new version is designed to work with Delicious Library 2, and will not work with the original version.

If you haven’t seen or tried Delicious Library 2, I strongly recommend taking a look.

Delicious Library 2 Templates released

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

Today I released my first two templates for Delicious Library 2.

I created these templates to get the ball rolling, really just as an experiment to see how easy it could be. Also, I wanted to have a way to print or publish a plain Library listing. I’m hoping some people much more creative than me will release some really good templates.

See the Goodies page for more information and a download.
