Merry Christmas!

It’s the 23rd today and I am all out happy knowing that tomorrow is Christmas. Yes, I know, most of you are wondering why on the 24th! Well, Europeans celebrate it at night on the 24th and Americans on the 25th. In any case, Merry Christmas!

Yep I know, I am not that kind to just make a post for fun. There is always some info to it. Today I am going to growl on about some boring future of my apps and the site itself.

What I am to do first is to finish iCordion. It has been much anticipated by many of you – but I simply did not have enough time until now to do all of this! Keep in mind that I am only doing this site has a hobby, not full business. :-D Yet, I promise that it will come and it will come like hell. It already has some 40 complete new functions that could make iCordion end up as a whole web-design application rather than just a simple app that makes jQuery Accordions!

iMap! iMap has been quite a mess in trying to make it perfect because the sitemaps not always validated with each site and thus gave errors with Google. In any case, I haven’t got a mail for the past few weeks about this issue and so iMap 2.2 is quite stable with it.
Are there still things to be improved? Yes I’ve got several things that I want to add and change. One of them is a updating system as well as saving values for multiple sites which can then be selected via a sidebar. That’s 08 stuff, nothing for 2007!

iWebExpander is my little app that hasn’t been getting much attention. It is going to be updated as well. The updating system will go in there as well. I will also add a basic search-replace function that will allow you to add much, much more to your sites without having to manually edit the HTML code.

With this post I would also say that iWebExpander has been downloaded over 10 000 times! This is just amazing. Incredible – at least from my point of view. :-D

The tutorials are changing as well! The videos will be updated to Leopard and they will be arranged differently in this blog. I had them as separate pages, which makes them difficult to find in searches and so I will move them all into the Tutorials category.

The iWeb Templates – god – totally forgot about them. They will return – but at the moment I have no clue when that will be.

Lastly we have my recent entry into the Wordpress world. The themes are being download like crazy and so I am planning to make a new one as well.

So, that’s all the things that I have planned for the future, that at least you are allowed to know about – other things that are secret are also coming!

Oh – totally forgot about Macvotes.com. It hasn’t been getting much attention either – but I will give it a fancy design and then make it public and then, it will be a great site!

Quick Test Post

If you see this post – ignore it :-D

Thanks,

Where is the Design Stuff?

If you read the tag-line you read that I make design, stuff and software. Well the stuff is everywhere, my iWeb Tutorials and Templates are probably stuff. Then I have made some apps, which all aren’t there yet – but I am making them and iMap has already been released. I have been quite busy making the software that I completely forgot to manage this blog and do some design? Yeah where is it?

Well I haven’t made any stuff! Sounds stupid but that is how it went. I simply did not have any time to do some icons or show how to make certain things with the graphing apps like Illustrator or Intaglio.

Anyway, I wouldn’t have made this post if there wouldn’t be some point to it, would it? Well, I have made a huge icon set of 50 glossy and aqua style icons for Leopard. Normal? No!!! These icons are at a size of 1000px by 1000px – that is double the size that Leopard wants. Isn’t that just amazing?

I’ll finish them up and then post them up here! An then I’ll make a tutorial on how to edit one pixel after the other. :-D

Payment Problem Solved

After having just released iMap, I already started having problems. The problem was that through the payment process, people paid but after having paid they didn’t recieve any download link. Well that is quite stupid and was especially annoying for me! I had to reply to each sale and send them the download manually.

Well the problem was that e-Junkie didn’t work with PayPal correctly because I had some sepcial auto-return settings in my PayPal account set up. Well I changed them to something good and now the paying process should work without any problems!

Again, apologies for those who paid but didn’t recieve iMap the very moment after. Sorry!

Mac OS X Leopard

Well it’s already some time since Apple introduced Leopard – but now it is only 3 days away until you get this powerful software!

Apple has shocked me in recent times with lots of “different” design ideas. First they introduce the iPhone with a mixture of silver shiny, black matte and a bit of grey. Then came the iMac which looks great – but seeing it on the Apple websites, it was a real shock! Then came the fat iPod nano … and now comes Leopard with one of the most ugly backgrounds that exist!

I really do not like that space background. It is just to wild to have as a organized background, so I will have to stick to my good old Tiger background.

In any case, I pre-ordered Leopard and it’s supposed to come by Saturday! That’s when I’ll start testing my software if it works and some other bug testing. And if someone is actually reading this, I’ve got some fantastic templates for iWeb coming out as well. I just want to test them with Leopard in order to not sell it and it’s not working.

So as a note, iWeb Expander and iMap should work 100% with Leopard – but I myself haven’t tested it, but I will do so soon!

So everyone, have fun with the new Leopard! I just love it man! Love it!
