Announcing…. Horos

So that suspenseful post didn’t last long…
Horos is out now… For those of you who are huge, huge fans of the Sane Magazine horoscopes, who also happen to have a Mac. Which has the latest and greatest version of Mac OS X (10.5) installed on it. Which also has access to the Internet. So for [...]

Coming soon…

Mailing list mess

I have no idea, nor do I have the time to look into why the Sane mails have suddenly stopped.
I rewrote the mailer to move from nail to a python-based mailer, which *looks* like it’s doing the deed, but, umm, doesn’t.
So I’m thinking of moving to FeedBurner, if only to provide email subscription access to [...]

Find By Content No More

I don’t know if the Sane main issue writer is just really old (well, it is… 2001 or so, which is old, in software terms, I suppose), but this little Cocoa app that drives Sane Magazine each week (umm… except for the last two, since we’ve been on… hiatus/vacation), needed a little upgrade recently. But [...]

Sane Magazine is out this week – Elaborate Rookie Hazing of Matsuzaka Getting Out of Hand

Since I’ve been thumbing through the author’s copy of “Further Fenway Fiction: More Short Stories from Red Sox Nation” (Pachter Adam), it seems baseball must have been on my mind.
This week’s Sane is about the rookie hazing campaign that’s been going on over the last few starts for poor Daisuke Matsuzaka. Well, “poor” isn’t [...]

The Code Behind the New Mobile Horoscopes

Not a single, solitary person has asked, but here it is, anyway. The technology behind the mobile horoscopes is a combo of our lovely SMHoroscopesWriter, a custom Cocoa app the Q.I. Software team worked on, which now exports two different kinds of HTML and an XML format for general consumption (you, too, can integrate horoscopes [...]

Mobile Horoscopes (and more)

Since I’ve been so prolific (via AllConsuming) today, I figured I’d give a little shout out to what’s going to be announced with next week’s Sane Magazine issue.
Horoscopes for your phone… or… iHoroscopes! Thrilling! (It’ll look fine in Safari, or Omniweb, but it’ll look even better on your brand-spanking new iPhone…)
And, as you may or [...]

iPhone-optimized

The blog (err… this), Sane’s main issue are now all iPhone-optimized… welcome to the social.
Next up… mobile horoscopes! Yahoo!
Update: For what it’s worth, the blog here is optimized with the iWPhone plugin from Content Robot, which was easy peasy. And Sane is optimized with a stylesheet tweaked with my absolute fave CSSEdit from MacRabbit and [...]

iPhone Web Application

The very first 3rd party iPhone Web Application.
From the Sane Magazine issue announcing it:
It is the ultimate iPhone application. Designed by our crack staff in OmniGraffle and a few other web technologies, it is a crude rendering of an iPhone, which is optimized to ensure the viewer realizes that they do not have an imaginary [...]

Sane Magazine this week

Sane’s out now, with a title borrowed from this very ‘blog.
Exciting!
