Luis de la Rosa just released version 1.0 of WebnoteHappy Lite. I’ve been beta testing this app for awhile now and Luis has done a great job on it. Congrats Luis!
WebnoteHappy Lite lets you write a note for any web page that interests you, creating a bookmark in the process. But “web page [...]

Logtar tagged me with this meme over a week ago, and with everything going on last week, I’m just now catching up with it.
Four jobs I’ve had.

Student System Administrator for the ECE Department at UCSB.
Software Engineer Intern at Pacific Advanced Technology doing embedded development for an infrared video camera.
Software Engineer and System Administrator [...]

Today I was pleasantly surprised when Edward Miller sent some screenshots of XRG running on his new Quad G5 system. This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in awhile, so I thought I would post a crop of XRG’s CPU graph on a quad-processor system…

XRG was designed to work with n-processor systems years ago, [...]

Most of you have probably noticed that Seasonality 1.2 was posted today. I’m pretty excited about the announcement. While this release didn’t take nearly as long to develop as version 1.1 did, it was still a significant undertaking. The beta-testing stage alone has been over a month. So I’m both excited, [...]

Ever since the beginning of Gaucho Software’s web presence, the index web page has displayed general news items about software updates and other miscellaneous items. I decided it was time to offer an RSS news feed to make it easier for users to keep up with what Gaucho Software is doing. A few [...]

Pandora is a music discovery service designed to help you find and enjoy music that you’ll love. It’s powered by the Music Genome Project, the most comprehensive analysis of music ever undertaken. Just tell us one of your favorite songs or artists and we’ll [...]

Well, I’ve placed my order for a new MacBook Pro (with the 1.67Ghz Core Duo). I ordered the base configuration (512MB RAM, 80GB drive), and will be purchasing another gig of RAM separately. I don’t understand why Apple charges so much for their memory upgrades… Now all I have to do is [...]

Check out this excellent review by Al Fasoldt in The Post-Standard (Syracuse, NY)…
I’m a big fan of good weather-reporting software for years but never thought I’d find nirvana so easily. No weather program I’ve ever tried, for Windows, Linux or OS X, comes within a light year of Seasonality.

Hope everyone had a happy New Year. I’m just now getting caught up again after taking a couple of weeks off for the holidays. We went out to California to visit Katrina’s family for Christmas. After that we flew to Minnesota for a wedding on New Year’s Eve (my cousin got married). [...]
