Espionage 2.1 Released! (Updated for 2.1.1)

After over a month in development, Espionage 2.1 is ready. Espionage 2.1 is a significant update, and one of the major changes is full support for Snow Leopard.

Cloak contest over!

Thank you to everyone who submitted icons for the Cloak icon contest! The contest is over, and my apologies for being two days late to the announcement. The bad news is that we weren’t able to pick a winner, meaning Cloak will continue to use the same icon for the time being. The good news […]

Installing Bazaar 1.16 on OS X [Updated]

Recently I decided to bite the bullet and move away from Xcode’s Snapshots to using a DVCS. After checking out Git, Mercurial, and Bazaar I finally settled on the latter, for now at least.

ebswitch: EventBox Profile Switcher

My favorite Twitter client is EventBox by The Cosmic Machine. And while it has a million great features like support for Instapaper and a great interface, it’s missing one critical piece of functionality and that is support for multiple profiles.
