roobasoft v2.0: Month 3+ review

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

I’m now a bit over half way done with my 6 month roobasoft v2.0 experiment. The goal was to be able to support my family 100% off my own apps by the end of the 6 months. Although I don’t think my apps will meet that goal, I do think it’s going to be a [...]

rooSwitch 1.5

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

Last night I released the first update to rooSwitch in over a year (yikes). So, what’s new? Full support for Adobe AIR apps Locked profiles Did you just spend 40 minutes setting up your data *just* how you want it to reproduce a certain condition? Are you releasing a new version and need to test [...]

Introducing WhenIsThat.net

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

Google knows how to do a lot of conversions. It understands queries like ’2 cups in liters’. That’s awesome. One thing it doesn’t do is time zone conversions. I kept asking Google to convert things like ’2pm MDT in CET’ but it never worked. So I created a simple time converting website. WhenIsThat.net doesn’t support [...]

Introducing Count It Off

Monday, November 10th, 2008

Update, Count It Off is now available in the App Store here. Count It Off is my new web and iPhone app for simple calorie counting and weight tracking. I’ve been trying to not be as large as I am for a few years now. I’ve tried a handful of ways to diet and have [...]

rooSwitch 1.2

Monday, December 24th, 2007

rooSwitch 1.2 is available now. The only feature that made it into this release is the ability to switch profiles from the dock menu. The other major improvement is a fixed hang seen on Leopard. Here’s some quick status on the rooApps: rooSwitch The 1.2 release was started many months ago and took way too [...]

My Wife Releases Her First Product

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

We keep our home pretty cool during the winter. Since I work out of the house all day[1], I’m frequently bundled up with a hat and stuff. The one thing I can’t really cover well has been my hands. I needs to type. It’s what I do. To combat my whining about my cold hands, [...]

TraineoWeight.wdgt Updated

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

The traineo folks hooked me up with a simple API quite quickly (simple == good). The widget has two big improvements: You can now enter your traineo username / password (no longer relies on Safari cookies) The gauge is much more reliable and the NaN issue should be resolved. It was fun working with the [...]

Introducing TraineoWeight.wdgt

Saturday, January 20th, 2007

Update: The traineo guys provided an API and I updated the widget. See: TraineoWeight.wdgt Updated Like most Americans I’d prefer to be less fat. To help me with that goal I’ve been logging my weight on traineo.com. They offer plenty more than just weight tracking, but I haven’t gotten into all that quite yet. Anyway, [...]

iusethis pepper for mint

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

I’ve got a number of secret pages that display things like sales data and download stats. My pages were ugly. As a fan of mint, I decided to see what would be involved in turning these ugly pages into private, roobasoft peppers (one “sales” pepper, one “downloads” pepper). Turns out, it’s quite easy (Kudo’s to [...]

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006

A free version of rooSwitch is now available! rooSwitch Lite 1.0 is a free version of rooSwitch that does just about everything rooSwitch does, but limits you to which applications you can switch. I’m pretty excited about this release and really hope folks give it a try and find uses for it. A four minute [...]
