Introducing Junecode 3.0 (formerly Tense Code)

Posted July 25th, 2008 by Mike Piontek / Junecode

After a year and a half of work, I’m excited to present the first beta of Junecode 3.0, my web site content management system. In short it’s a piece of software that makes creating, editing, and maintaining a web site easier. You may know it better as Tense Code, which is what I was calling it until about a month ago. I’ll explain more about the name change in the future, but for now let’s talk about what’s new in Junecode 3.0. The list is very, very long, but here’s a quick rundown of the best… Read more »

Moto Racer for iPhone

Posted July 25th, 2008 by Mike Piontek / Reviews

Moto Racer is a fun game with a few unfortunate flaws. Gameplay is simple: press the gas button to go and tilt the phone to steer. Occasionally some bad guys will swoop in beside you, and a punch button appears. At first the placement of the punch button seemed like a terrible design choice, because it’s on the same side as the gas. But then I realized it was intentional—it feels like a good approximation of how challenging it would really be to punch someone on a motorcycle. It adds a lot to… Read more »

NetNewsWire for iPhone

Updated review of NetNewsWire 1.0.7 on July 25th, 2008: What a difference a week makes! NetNewsWire has been updated, and the latest version addresses the worst of my complaints. Once you’ve read all the items in a feed it disappears from the main list, and there’s also an option to hide certain feeds or delete them entirely. Syncing is faster. When you tap the “Mark All as Read” button it now returns to the main list. If you follow a link to a web page it’s now a single tap to return to the… Read more »

Option + Shift + Backslash

Option + Shift + Backslash: » Option + Backslash: « I just had to share this for any other Mac users that care. I’d been opening up Special Characters in the Edit menu for years until I finally stumbled across this keyboard combination, which is odd because I’d swear I checked Key Caps for any possible combination long ago. At any rate, there you have it. I use these guys for various things pretty often so it’s nice to have an easy way to make them. Read more »

Delivery Status for iPhone

Posted July 21st, 2008 by Mike Piontek / Mac OS X

With all the talk about iPhone apps right now, I figure it’s time to make an official announcement. I can’t share a lot of details at the moment, but I am working on a version of Delivery Status for the iPhone (and iPod touch), and I hope to make it available in the next few months. I plan to support most of the services that are available in the widget, with the exception of Amazon and Google Checkout. (Hopefully I can find a way to get those working in a future version.) What features do… Read more »
