SuperDuper v3.2.5 Now Available!

You’d think, given I’ve written everything here, I’d learn to pay attention to what I’ve said in the past. Let me explain. In v3.2.4, we started getting occasional reports of scheduled copies running more than once. Whic…

Time's Arrow Redux

Now that the release of Leopard is imminent-ish, I thought I’d do an update of my Time’s Arrow post from a year ago regarding SuperDuper! and Time Machine. Let’s get into it! Leopard Compatbitility First, v2.1.4 of Super…

Ocean of words

For those who haven’t heard me blather at length about all things SuperDuper! and Shirt Pocket, there’s a 45 minute interview of me up at MacVoices. Remember: the game rules require you to drink every time you hear me sa…

Apple TV - codename:tv

tv is in the house — two of them, actually — and, well, it’s good! I’m not using it for music much — my library is much too large for this device, and navigation of large collections, as has been said elsewhere, is quit…

Adding commands to netTunes

You know, it’s pretty rare that I post up here about netTunes, mostly because… well… it just works, and there’s not much to say other than “Whoa! Cool!”… which gets a bit boring. But, every so often I’ll get a question a…

An Embarrassment of Eddys

Wow. It looks like SuperDuper! 2.1 has won another Macworld Eddy! Back-to-back awards for SuperDuper! in 2005 and 2006, and one for netTunes in 2004 — w00t! Thanks, Macworld — and thanks to all the users, too! The softwa…

It's always something #289

Well, the rollout of the new netTunes and launchTunes went well except for one thing — due to what looks to be some API change in the Accelerate framework, the server was sending a purple iTunes image when running on Int…

A few quick pictures of Taiko as I prepare for the rollout of the new netTunes and launchTunes this week…

Waiting...

OK! The testing of netTunes and launchTunes, its purchasing process, Universal Support and integrated store is complete. Things are basically ready to go, except for one thing — I’m waiting for a new version of the eSell…

What's taking so long?

It’s been difficult, these last few months, to find the time necessary to work on netTunes and launchTunes while working on/supporting SuperDuper! and navigating the waters of decline with Ketzl. netTunes was pretty much…

Hoarse-ing around

Despite being down and mostly out with a cold/flu, I’ll be appearing on The Tech Night Owl LIVE tonight, May 4th, talking about SuperDuper!, netTunes, launchTunes, and desperately trying to not cough up a chunk of lung…

Amusing myself

Today, I spent some time testing out the soon to be released update to netTunes along with Salling Clicker’s “Clicker Network”. My setup here is different that most, no doubt, but here’s what was involved: Music server r…

Going Universal

Our “production” iMac hit the Shirt Pocket loading dock (aka my front step) yesterday, and I’ve been busily working on updates to netTunes and launchTunes while Bruce works on completing the next update to SuperDuper!, w…

Music subscription services don't always suck

Let’s talk, for a moment, about acquiring music. As you might guess from netTunes, I’m a bit of a music fanatic. I’ve bought a lot of music in my day, and expect to buy a lot more. But, I rarely listen to “music radio”…

Another gem!

Once again, I’m really happy to announce that a Shirt Pocket product has gone all gemilicious! netTunes was just reviewed by Dan Frakes of Macworld Magazine, in the Mac Gems section. netTunes 2.2 was awarded 4 mice — and…

Dog Nurse, Going Macintosh and the Birth of netTunes

It’d been a few months since I’d left Compuware and set out, once again, on my own. Shirt Pocket was initially formed to create products for PDAs, a market segment that I’ve always found interesting… hence the name. I wa…

New netTunes & the Release Jitters!

Wow, yesterday was a hectic day. I’d had a new release of netTunes in process for some time, and had completed the final testing a few weeks ago. Since the main focus was Tiger compatibility, it seemed appropriate to rel…
