Graduating BSc (Hons) MediaLab Arts

Posted July 19th, 2006 by Chris

Four years of studying finally came a close yesterday as I along with a few hundred graduated from the University of Plymouth. Thankfully, everything went well (no tripping on the steps!) and hour upon hour of sleep deprivation paid off with a First. With the official end of my time as an undergraduate, there is, however, no longer an excuse for slow and slacking work…

So, the beach is out of bounds (although a cheeky visit to Whitsands over the weekend was allowed). For now, though, it seems the first steps of my full-time business are going smoothly and things are beginning to roll. Although the business still lacks an official website, it is something sitting on my expanding list of things to-do-sometime-soon.

Meanwhile, alongside my commercial endevours, I hope to be working within and alongside the University in continuing research into contemporary mobile technologies, and their resultant social effects.

HostManager 1.16

Posted July 14th, 2006 by Chris

Despite big plans to freeze development of the 1.x line, and concentrate on rapidly delivering 2.0, I have found a spare moment to sort out a couple of irritations with the current build. As a result, HostManager 1.16 has now been released with the following little fixes:

    ame
  • Fixed expired trial period window to allow licensing post-trial period.
  • ame

  • Threaded backup to .Mac to prevent lockups.
  • ame

  • Threaded synchronisation with iCal to prevent lockups.
  • ame

  • Fixed/Improved Inspector interface window.
  • ame

  • Fixed/Improved Inspector interface window.
  • ame

  • Fixed payments destination for purchasing HostManager.
  • ame

  • Updated Sparkle framework to Version 1.0

The latest version can be downloaded using the Sparkle updater, or directly here. Version 2.0 is progressing slower than anticipated due to a number of other projects, moving house, setting up business, etc. etc. Lame excuses…
