Happy Halloween!

30 October 2007

A gratuitous blog post, to be sure, but Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year. So, since I am in a country which has no interest in it and I alone seem to be interested in the ghouls and goblins (and possible Buffy reruns) I am taking the time to blog about Halloween.

Halloween is oranges and yellows, stray cats, stale candy, crisp autumn air, and long evenings. Halloween is a holiday with no moral to teach or remembrance or special duty. Halloween is a truly seasonal holiday. Even though it is late spring here (how odd) and no one has noticed it should be Halloween time, I love it still.

Have fun and be safe for Halloween!

Well, that’s pretty stuffed

29 October 2007

After a coordinated screwup between myself and Macupdate, the launch of the new Bookstar has been completely stuffed up. I’m not sure how long it will be until it gets released corrected. I’ve sent several emails to the supposed contact email for MacUpdate, but no one answers. What happened is that the entry for Bookstar (which was fine) was smished together with the new listing for Book Magic. So now I am down one software listing and up one completely wrong listing. Thank the maker Moviestar’s listing wasn’t trashed while they were at it.

So I keep sending the occasional email saying, hey remember me? You combined my applications into a hybrid which doesn’t even exist!! Well, they haven’t answered. The lesson here is never trust MacUpdate when you’re using a free developer account. I’m moving it all to SourceForge.
