Appcasting and spelling mistakes

Posted by matt, Mon Dec 24 09:52:00 UTC 2007

As development progresses full steam towards a release, I have been putting in some bells and whistles that will make TheUnboundWord just that little bit easier to maintain with regards to having the app tested by a wide range of people.

Though things are moving forward, there is still a fair bit of administrative work that I need to do before releases are ready for testing. With any luck, trust is warranted and disappointment lacking.

Today's fun though came in the form of spelling mistakes whilst playing around with the Sparkle framework that makes appcasting a possibility. I unfortunately had incorrectly copied the example from the documentation which resulted in sparkle not identifying where to pick up the rss feed from. This resulted in a lot of frustration as I scoured documentation and setup logging on my dev server so that I could try and track everything. Eventually, the erroneous character was a double u.

After clearing this up, sparkle worked like a charm.

 

As the season is upon us, a merry Christmas to you all as you remember the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ and to all a good night.

God bless,

Matt.

Alpha testers required

Posted by matt, Sat Dec 15 01:26:00 UTC 2007

In the past couple of days I have been busily rewriting one of my applications to make use of CoreData, and am kicking myself that I didn't take that path first time around.

Though as this year draws to a halt, I will be implementing a couple of new features which means I need some alpha testers. Now I know that most people make a public call for beta testers, but the software itself isn't yet at that stage. So the call is for alpha testers. If you are interested then email matt at reformed software dot com and I will get back to you.

As far as requirements for the software, it is written for OS X Leopard.

 

God Bless,

Matt.
