Delivery Status touch has been submitted to Apple!

Posted September 12th, 2008 by Mike Piontek / Mac OS X, iPhone and iPod touch

Delivery Status touch (for iPhone and iPod touch) is complete—I sent it off to Apple last night. Hopefully it will appear in the App Store next week, but don’t be surprised if it takes longer. It will be available initially for an introductory price of $1.99, so I recommend grabbing it quickly if you’re interested! Keep an eye on the site, as I’ll be posting an update when it’s available. This initial release is just the beginning. Assuming it sells well, I already have a big list of… Read more »

Welcome to Junecloud!

Posted September 12th, 2008 by Mike Piontek / Design

When I first started running my own business full time a few years back, I really wasn’t sure how long it would last. It’s been stressful, it’s been hard work, but it’s also been fun and rewarding. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a lot of great people. I’ve also spent more and more time on my software—it started out as a hobby, but now I’m making a fair amount of income just in donations. (Thank you!) It’s clear now that I’m in this for the long haul, and I won’t be giving up my… Read more »

Using Junecode for a site that isn’t a blog

Posted August 18th, 2008 by Mike Piontek / Junecode

In reply to this entry, Nathan asked: Had to give this a [go]. Some really slick stuff, and a nice simple admin interface, but would I be correct in assuming this is more intended as a “blogging platform” rather than a proper CMS? As far as I can see it’s all about posting entries, and there’s no apparent way of setting up pages, in a site tree, with possibly multiple areas on the page to edit. Good question! It is designed around the basic concept of a blog… Read more »

Delivery Status touch icon

Posted August 14th, 2008 by Mike Piontek / Design, Mac OS X

Above you can see how the Delivery Status icon progressed from sketch to finished design. While working on Delivery Status touch (for iPhone and iPod touch) it was clear I needed a new icon. The old “18 days” icon I’ve used for the Dashboard widget was just something I threw together quickly. I never spent much time on it because it isn’t seen terribly often, and I couldn’t justify spending a lot of extra time on a free widget that already sucks up a lot of work hours. Delivery Status touch… Read more »

Smart Widget Installer 1.1 beta with Tiger compatibility

Posted August 13th, 2008 by Mike Piontek / Mac OS X

A lot of Tiger users have had problems with my Smart Widget Installer. I’ve become much more comfortable writing apps in Cocoa over the past several weeks so I decided it was time I gave this one an overhaul. Previously it was written entirely in AppleScript, which can be somewhat unreliable. Here’s what’s new: • Completely rewritten in Cocoa instead of AppleScript for better performance and reliability • Improved compatibility with Tiger (10.4.10 or later) • The widget’s… Read more »
