Tiger and Dash Monitors

Friday, April 29th, 2005

Tiger is finally out, and today been great for Dash Monitors. Dash Monitors has been featured on multiple sites, and it’s currently ranked #2 in the top 10 Widget downloads on Apple’s download site (ahead of Delicious Library Mini Shelf, woohoo!). The downloads for Dash Monitors today have completely trumped any other release [...]

Monitoring Toolkit (MTK)

Tuesday, April 26th, 2005

One of the many tasks I’m working on at the moment is taking some monitoring code from XRG and molding plugins out of each graph module. I want to make it easy for other developers to include monitors in their code, and I really believe that this is an evolutionary step in XRG’s development [...]

Tiger Release Date

Tuesday, April 12th, 2005

Well, Apple finally announced a release date for Tiger (April 29th). Going back to our release date estimates at WWDC last year, it looks like Joe got it, but I was only 17 days off.

Well, the latest Gaucho Software website design has been posted. I think it looks a lot better than the old site…definitely worth all the effort.

Gaucho Software Website

Seasonality 1.0.1 is nearing release. It’s mostly a bunch of bug fixes, but there are a couple of new interface changes. The big interface change is [...]

Gaucho Software Logo

Monday, April 4th, 2005

This weekend, I spent most of my time designing a logo for Gaucho Software and updating the web site template. The web site hasn’t been finished yet, but I thought I would post an image of the new logo. It took maybe 6-8 hours to create and I’m pretty pleased with the results.
