Some Public Opinion…

As I round the bend on Yasu 2 development, I’m wrestling with the thought of browser cache removal. Version 1.x simply has a single button to click for all browsers to clear either their cache, downloads, cookies. However, Cache Out X has the option to select individual browsers. A single click option is quick and painless (development wise). A popup selection option is more work on my part, but more flexible for the end user.

Which would you, the user, prefer? A simple one click method that wipes it all out, or a more refined, troubleshooting friendly method of selecting individual browsers of your choice?

I’ll put it to a vote-by-comment census. The majority opinion wins here, so start posting ‘em…

Another One of Those Handy Tools

I came across another one of those little OS X tools that help to make web development just a little bit easier this morning. For those of you who haven’t heard of it, check out “HexColorPicker” from Lucky Software.

Hexcolorpicker

This little gem adds a new option to the Apple color picker which allows you to select the hex value of the color you’re working with. That was the one thing that always bugged me about the color picker – I had to go into Photoshop to get a hex value from the hsv values, or do some other kind of voodoo.

It’s definitely one of those little productivity enhancers. I’ll be making my donation later today. You should too if you download it and find it useful.

I will be putting together a post on Mac OS X tools that I’ve found to be most handy in my burgeoning web development career. Keep an eye out for that in the very near future.

Oh, and yes – development of Yasu 2 is still coming along (very) nicely…

Yasu 1.3.9 Released

A quick note to say Yasu 1.3.9 is released that fixes the recent Intel/PPC app problems. Go grab yours here.

It’s a recommended update for all Tiger users, both Intel and PPC.

New Yasu Release This Evening

If you’ve been following my posts over at the Yasu development weblog, you know that a show-stopper issue was reported a couple of weeks ago with Intel machines and PPC apps (Rosetta). Basically, after running Yasu on an Intel machine, certain PPC based apps (Photoshop, MS Word) would not launch anymore, requiring a complete application reinstall to solve the problem. My apologies to any and all this may have affected.

I’m happy to announce that the bug has been squashed with the help of some daring individuals, and that a new version of Yasu (1.3.9) for Tiger will be released this evening. I’d do it now, but I’m in the office and don’t have the necessary files to make my disk image for distribution.

This will be the final release of the Yasu 1.x branch, unless some other end-of-the-world bug is discovered before I can get v2 wrapped up.

Expired: "jimmitchelldesigns.com" is No More

My old domain name, “jimmitchelldesigns.com” finally expired today. This post is mostly for the purpose of redirecting those who are trying to find the site via Google using that phrase to “jimmitchell.org.” That’s it, nothing more to see. Move along…
