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 »

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?

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:

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 »
