Before the end of 2005 I released Noted 1.0 because I wanted to move on and start to develop the next release.
I’ve been receiving quite a few feature requests, most asking for some sort of categorization, a few asking for a way to store different kind of media.
So I was challenged as to how to develop these features.
Categorization could either be done with a pseudo-folder structure or with color coding.
The former especially good if I decided to add support for different kind of media, the latter better for a clutter-free app which handles plain notes.
Personally, I think I prefer color coding: a plain list of notes each with a different color. But users decided, through a survey on MacUpdate, they preferred the pseudo-folder categorization.

Remember me talking about developing a Mac OS X app?
Now, it’s time to release it!
The app is noted and it has its own website — at the moment it’s still pretty plain.
It’s a simple note taking application: one note opened at a time, automatic saving each time you open a new note and not much more.
At the moment, it’s still in alpha stage, that means it has bugs. And that’s why I’m releasing it: you’ll help me find and fix those bugs!
Now download it — you can make a donation, too, if you feel so :D — and tell me what you think.
And if you’d like to suggest new features, please, do so by leaving a comment or sending me an email.

Being unsatisfied with what was available and having a few spare minutes on my hands, a couple of days ago I decided to work on a new Wordpress plugin: MF Collapse.
What it does is simply collapse the text after Read the rest of this entry »

Today, I was supposed to go snowboarding, but since nobody would’ve come and as I feel a little sick, I was home all morning with not much to do.
In that free time I decided to write a little plugin for Wordpress I wanted for a long time, but was unable to find anywhere else. Michael promised to release it, but never did so, and same did Chris.
So, here it comes my favorite posts plugin: MF Favorites.
It lets you add a little heart to mark favorite posts and, if you’re an admin, you can click on the heart to toggle the status of a particular post.
It comes with two images — a-favorite-heart and not-a-favorite-heart — that suit my color scheme, but you can change them with almost every image-editing software simply by changing the hues saturation.
I tested it only on my weblog, so you should consider it as alpha software. But since it’s a very tiny script, there should be no problem.
Please, let me know if you find bugs or have problems.
++UPDATE++ 2005/04/02: Version 0.2 of MF Favorites released!
I’ve added a way to show a list of your favorite posts and fixed a couple of bugs.
To show the list, simply call mff_show_favs() wherever you want the list to appear.
By default, it will show the last 10 posts wrapped in <li></li>. So you’ll have to put it in an unordered list: <ul></ul>.
You can alse change a couple of parameters: mff_show_favs( number_of_posts_to_show_zero_for_all, before_each_post, after_each_post ).
As always, let me know if you have problems, suggestions or comments.
