As I wrote in the blog post on Southbound Software this is just amazing!! The first version of Read Later for Instapaper (it was called Instapaper Poster at the time) was put on Android Market during the easter period of 2011. Not even a year has passed and the app that I wrote for my [...]

Your house has a mailbox – in this mailbox all mail for the whole family goes. When you receive a letter someone needs to process the name written on it and hand it to the correct person. This is done to save a lot of resources by setting up multiple physical mailboxes. This is NOT [...]

Last night I had a rather frustrating problem. I was setting up the XAMPP package on a Windows 7 box and wanted to configure some virtual hosts. This is fairly easy – there is a dedicated configuration file for virtual hosts and in my case they needed to be virtual virtual hosts – so I [...]

Did you read the monthly usage statistics for Read Later for Instapaper??

The usual wordpress admin bar and widgets didn’t really work. Furthermore the frontage relied on feeds from the [...]

Since I started to use GMail I haven’t deleted any SPAM mail. Until now! When I began using GMail I quickly realized that my SPAM automatically ended up in the SPAM folder and was deleted after 30 days. That is very convenient because that leaves a number (unread messages) next to the folder name which [...]

I got a license for 1Password through some software bundle at a special price from MacUpdate. I just recently started using it today! It is awesome! I really like that I don’t need to remember any passwords – but having different passwords for every site/service! I’ve actually taking it a step further and started using [...]
