Tags defined

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

I saw a nice definition of tags on the del.icio.us home page today (which isn’t something I normally visit because of WebnoteHappy.) The definition goes like this:
Tags
A tag is simply a word you use to describe a bookmark. Unlike folders, you make up tags when you need them and you can use as many […]

Happy New Year!

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

Happy New Year! 2007 was a great year for Happy Apps and all things Apple in general. It was my first full year as a Mac Indie - more on that later.
Here’s to an even better 2008!

Mac OS X browser numbers

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

In “Portable WebnoteHappy“, I wrote that
Plus, Mint tells me that 46% of visitors to happyapps.com are using Safari, 37% Firefox, and Camino only garnering 8%.
I failed to realize that 18% of my visitors are from Windows or Linux. Since IE accounts for 5% of my visitors, that leaves 13% Firefox/Windows or Linux users. […]

Happy Birthday Cesar!

Monday, October 9th, 2006

Last week, my wife gave birth to a baby boy. His name is Cesar and today is his one week birthday. He was born weighing 9 pounds, 3 ounces and here’s an adorable picture of him:

To celebrate his birthday, I’m having a sale on WebnoteHappy via MacUpdate Promo.
So help me celebrate Cesar’s birthday […]

My fight against spam

Thursday, September 14th, 2006

One side effect of having a software business where you publish your email so people can easily contact you is that you get a lot of spam. I guess everyone who has an email address gets spam, but I think you probably get more if you have it publicly visible on a web page. […]

Help your RSI with FlexTime

Friday, August 18th, 2006

I’ve got RSI - it’s sort of the universal programmer’s / anyone who works with a computer all day malady. Last year I used to have pain and swelling in my hands after I came home from work. Now I see a chiropractor regularly. He uses the Activator technique to adjust me […]

rooSwitch is now 1.0

Wednesday, July 5th, 2006

rooSwitch has become part of my development process, especially when testing out new features. It’s a lot easier to test from a clean slate than with my current collection of 5000+ webnotes. Plus I won’t mess any of my personal webnotes up. I wrote about rooSwitch a few weeks ago while I […]

My kids love Voice Candy

Friday, June 9th, 2006

Something that kids have to learn is to share. And one way to this with computer time is to set a timer to limit each kids time. But a plain kitchen timer is sort of boring.
On vacation, I decided to try out Voice Candy and it was a hit with the kids. […]

Blog redesigned

Friday, June 2nd, 2006

I redesigned the blog today to make it match the rest of the site. I think this makes it look nicer and its more unique than the default Kubrick theme that I was using.
Also Morley wrote in today that he wanted to get to WebnoteHappy from the blog and it was harder than it […]

Wow - Spirited Away

Thursday, January 26th, 2006

I just watched Spirited Away. It’s an amazing, mind-blowing Japanese animation fantasy movie. It’s about a young girl who accidentally wanders into a strange but wonderful alternate world.
It is beautifully drawn, which is a breath of fresh air in the current world of computer animation. To underscore this, at the beginning of […]
