Help Localize Numerology For Your Language

July 27th, 2011

If you’d like to see Numerology in your language and invite you to volunteer to help localize it. Currently Numerology is available in English and Spanish. I’d love to see French, Italian, and German as well.

I’ll warn you though, there is a lot of text. Hundreds of files and over 14,000 words in all. It’s not too bad though. Probably take you a few weeks. I’d definitely give out free licenses and promo codes for this effort. To all our products. Now and in the future. That’s only if one person does it.

If you’re interested, send me an email at rod@infinitenil.com or comment below.

Introducing Everport

July 11th, 2011

Everport, our brand new app, just became available in the Mac App Store. Everport makes it quick and easy to get your data out of Backpack and into Evernote.

Other types of data may be added in future versions based on user feedback. Such things as 37signals’ Basecamp data, other 37signals apps, or any other web service or web apps you’d like to get your data out of and into Evernote. Even desktop apps, such as Voodoo Pad, SOHO Notes, etc. are a possibility.

Everport is available in the Mac App Store for $9.99. If you find it useful, please give it a review and spread the word.

Packrat 2.0.5 – Download fix

June 17th, 2011

For those of you who didn’t purchase Packrat from the Mac App Store, Packrat 2.0.5 is now available at infinitenil.com.

Packrat 2.0.5 contains a fix for downloading file attachments and images. 37signals changed their authentication on their site, which prevented Packrat from logging into your Backpack site and downloaded the files. With this update you can download those files again.

PhFacebook

June 7th, 2011

Numerology for the Mac uses a framework called PhFacebook to integrate with Facebook so users can’t import there friends’ data and post to their walls. I’ve run into a few problems with using it the way I did in the iOS version of Numerology, so I’ve posted a few fixes. It’s the first open source project I’ve contributed to. I enjoy the feeling of contributing something to some code that many people could benefit from.

Facebook integration is quite common on iOS, but not on the Mac. Let’s change that. Please contribute to PhFacebook and try it out on your Mac app.

Backpack Archiver and Backpack Page Saver

May 31st, 2011

I looking into new products for infiniteNIL and I’m wondering if anybody would be interested. Here’s a couple of ideas.

  • Backpack Archiver. Much like Parachute (getparachute.com) on Windows, this would download your entire Backpack account, including files, and produce an HTML site and/or PDF.
  • Backpack Page Saver. This would allow you to archive your pages much like Basecamp allows you. You select pages to archive and the app would download the page and then delete the page from Backpack. If you need it later, you could restore the page. This let’s you stay within the limit of your account’s page limits.

Please comment below and let me know what you think of these ideas.

Numerology Now in Spanish (Numerología ahora en español)

Numerology 1.9.6 was just approved by Apple and is now available in the iTunes App Store. This version adds a Spanish localization, so now you can read all the numerological analysis in Spanish as well as use the user interface in Spanish if that is your language of choice. The localization was done by a native speaker. Thank you so much Wendy Eav.

15% of Mobile Apps Launched Offline

May 10th, 2011

Here’s an interesting article that shows the need for apps to work when they are not connected to the internet: http://www.tuaw.com/2011/05/10/15-of-mobile-apps-launched-while-offline/.

This shows the need for apps like Packrat exists, although Packrat is on the Mac, so it solves the case for laptops. What about iPhone and iPad? Are there enough Backpack clients for the iPhone and iPad? Do they have an offline mode? Would you like to see Packrat for the iPhone or iPad?

MyMac Kangaroo

May 9th, 2011

For the last two years, I’ve been struggling with some hip and and knee issues and come to believe that it is from an occupational hazard of all software developers: prolonged sitting.

I’ve looked at GeekDesk, but my finances are tight right now. I’ve also used boxes and such and it worked, but the inconvenience didn’t help the situation once.

Then I found ErgoDesktop and after a while, I ordered one.

Today, my new ErgoDesktop MyMac Kangaroo adjustable height desk unit arrived.
