KidFlix is now available in the iTunes App Store!

After pending review for more than 8 months, we are happy to announce that KidFlix was officially approved for sale today!

KidFlix is for parents with small children, that allows the parent to upload a childrens video that they have on their computer and then allow their child to watch one of these videos with the ability to disable the normal overlay controls to stop accidental pausing/stopping/fast forwarding/etc, as well as allowing the parent to specify if the video should automatically repeat when it ends.

As a parent of a young child I know how valuable of a tool this program can be when you are at say a restaurant and your child starts getting bored.

You can access KidFlix directly by following the URL:
itms://itunes.apple.com/us/app/kidflix/id307595676?mt=8

iDeskCal 2.2.1 has been Released

We are happy to announce the release of iDeskCal 2.2.1!

This is a maintenance release and it is highly recommended that all users upgrade to version 2.2.1.
It is of course also a free upgrade for all users.

This update addresses the slow down issue some users were seeing on Mac OS X 10.5.
As mentioned in a earlier blog post, this was do to the addition of 64-bit support in version 2.2 and a bug in Apple’s Mac OS X 10.5 Calendar code that caused calls to this Apple code to hang and eat up system resources.
We have addressed this issue by telling iDeskCal not to run in 64-bit mode on Mac OS X 10.5, as well as by submitting a bug report to Apple.

This update also addresses some issues with the upcoming change from Daylight Savings Time/Summer Time, that caused some events to show duplicated on the wrong date.
