Fri, 03 Jul 2009 01:46:58 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I upgraded our support incident handling system about 10 days ago. Unfortunately, I only discovered yesterday that it has failed badly, not only is it not handling support emails properly but it also dumped almost 5GB of garbage data onto our web host's server, which has not gone down well. I ... http://menumachine.com/blog/2009/07/support-system-problems/ I've had quite a few emails from many of you about the beta program for the new version of MenuMachine. We anticipate releasing the first beta to some of you in the next week or so, with more people added to the testing program as we proceed. If you have contacted ... http://menumachine.com/blog/2009/06/almost-beta/ As you will have noticed, the blog hasn't been updated for a while and some of you have been asking about what the state of MenuMachine is, and even if we are still working on it. I can tell you that we are currently working extremely hard on getting it out the ... http://menumachine.com/blog/2009/03/a-quick-update/ This is just a quick post to provide a permanent link to another little plug-in for Coda, Tabster: http://menumachine.com/download/Tabster1.1.zip All Tabster does is map Tab and Shift-Tab to Command-] and Command-[, which allows you to indent blocks of text using the Tab key and outdent them by using Shift-Tab. Users of other editors ... http://menumachine.com/blog/2009/01/tab-key-indenting-for-coda/ While working on an upcoming site with Panic's excellent Coda application, I was constantly frustrated by its lack of a separate live web preview window. Coda is a "one window app" and all content, including the preview, is accessed via tabs in a single window. I am so used to having ... http://menumachine.com/blog/2008/12/a-live-preview-window-for-coda/ I am pretty excited at the release of the new Coda plug-in SDK and I have been investigating it in preparation for building a Coda integration plugin for MenuMachine 3. As an exercise, I decided to try building a small, useful plug-in. I noticed that several people on the coda-users ... http://menumachine.com/blog/2008/11/wrapster-for-coda/ Panic have just released a new version of Coda, their excellent web development app. The big news for us is that it now includes a very nice plug-in extension API, so we are looking seriously at including full support for Coda in the initial release of MenuMachine 3. It looks like ... http://menumachine.com/blog/2008/11/coda-support/ Firstly, since several of you have asked, I want to give you a general idea of our release schedule. We are aiming for a release towards the end of Q1 2009 and are fairly confident of our ability to hit that target. I know this is probably later than many of ... http://menumachine.com/blog/2008/10/a-dynamic-platform/ I've had a fair amount of feedback since my initial post which contained the news that MenuMachine is to become a Mac-only application. Windows users are unhappy with our decision which is perfectly understandable, whereas Mac users have been overwhelmingly positive with their reactions, which is great. I thought I'd explain ... http://menumachine.com/blog/2008/08/moving-forward/ Many of you have written to us wanting news of where we're heading now that GoLive is no more. As some of you may have noticed, I've posted a small amount of information about our future plans already but I wanted to let all our customers know a bit more ... http://menumachine.com/blog/2008/08/the-way-things-are/
