The scare campaign finally got me to update my WordPress installation. I think it was the news that Andy Ihnatko got hacked that finally drove the message home. Nothing terribly exciting about this, but I figured I should let you know; in case there are issues with the update. Thanks for ... http://www.salling.com/blog/archives/30 As mentioned in yesterday's post, Salling Clicker was in need of some minor alterations to work well in Mac OS X 10.6 ("Snow Leopard"). These alterations will be rolled into a minor update labelled 3.5.2 (current public version is 3.5.1). As I know some of you may get your hands on ... http://www.salling.com/blog/archives/28 We've been using Snow Leopard here at the office for quite some time now, and here's the status on Salling's Mac applications with respect to Snow Leopard compatibility. Salling Media Sync (latest version) work great in Snow Leopard, with one exception. The KEXT we're installing to enable Sony Walkman (not Sony ... http://www.salling.com/blog/archives/26 The ever helpful Dave Nanian of Shirt-Pocket, who assisted me in my efforts to make Salling Media Sync work with the G1 "Android" phone, pointed me to a great blog post by the witty Stephen Fry. Stephen, who to my surprise turns out to be quite the gadget connoisseur, complains ... http://www.salling.com/blog/archives/23 Please check this forum post for a 3.5.1 build of Salling Clicker that'll work with Leopard: http://www.salling.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6018 I'm out of town this week (scheduled since way back), and as I am not able to handle the full load of email support (over 3G/UMTS) that usually comes with a full release/announce cycle, I'm ... http://www.salling.com/blog/archives/19 I've long been a fan of the Opera Mini browser. Especially for whenever I'm using a non-smartphone (and sometimes when I'm on a smartphone, too). For those who're not familiar with Opera Mini, here's what's so cool about it: All browsing goes through Opera's compressing web proxy. A web page which ... http://www.salling.com/blog/archives/18 One snag introduced in S60 3rd Edition is that we can no longer launch our Salling Clicker background server application automatically when the phone starts. What this means for you is that your phone cannot accept incoming Bluetooth connections from Salling Clicker on your computer, unless you've manually launched the ... http://www.salling.com/blog/archives/17 I had a nice chat with Carl-Johan Eelde from Swedish Mac-site MacNytt the other day. Here's my rough translation of the interview, as it was originally posted on the MacNytt site (his questions in bold; parts of the interview specifically pertaining to Swedish customers have been edited out): A few days ... http://www.salling.com/blog/archives/16 As a followup to my last post about the surprising longevity of the Sony Ericsson P990i battery under (light) WiFi usage, I ran a similar test on the Nokia N95. Again, I connected Salling Clicker 3.5 (non-public beta) via WiFi to my computer and went to bed. As with the ... http://www.salling.com/blog/archives/15 A few days ago I ran a "long-haul" WiFi test with the upcoming 3.5 version of Salling Clicker.
