That John Martin

I publicly thanked the folks at Fog Creek for kindly switching our account subdomain for us (due to a company rename), so when the Beanstalk guys did the same thing, and upped the ante by allowing us to nominate a time for it to be done, I thought I should extend my thanks to them. So, thanks Chris!

BTW, if you’re a startup and buggering about maintaining your own Subversion installation, configuring websvn, and integrating with things like FogBugz and Campfire… you should seriously think about giving Beanstalk a go. We pay just $25/month for 20 users.

Ahh, life in the cloud.

I am constantly switching my Mac’s sound output between headphones and speakers, and as a result, am constantly bitching about having to open up the Sound control panel, switch to the Output tab, change the setting, then sometimes switch to the particular app, open up Preferences, switch to the Sound tab, and make the same change again.

And then along came SoundSource. It took exactly 0.24 seconds of Googling to find and not much longer to install. And now I have a nice dropdown in my menubar.

And for bonus points, the license had very plain “What that said” explanations below each section.

Happy days.

We’ve had some shitty customer support experiences lately — I won’t name names — so when we asked the Fog Creek folks if they could change the subdomain of our hosted FogBugz account and then woke up to find it done and dusted in a little over a day with the perky email confirmation below, well, we were chuffed.

Your wish is our command.

Your website is now [new co].fogbugz.com.

Let us know if there’s anything else we can do for you!

We even forgot for a moment that the FogBugz wiki doesn’t surface a text-based markup language! (Markdown support would be so sweet.)

Thanks Eric!

Synergy is a brilliant little software utility that allows you to share a keyboard, mouse and clipboard between not just machines but operating systems. It runs on OS X, Windows, and Linux, and it’s open source. Dave from Freshview has a short clip demoing it on his triple monitor setup.
