A couple Sesamouse tips

2010 January 27

Though it's fun to see your fingers on the multitouch sensor, you might not want the Sesamouse window up the whole time you're using gestures with your Magic Mouse. I'm planning to add a close button to the window in a future release, but until then it works almost as well to just hide Sesamouse:

It can also be convenient to have Sesamouse start automatically whenever you log in. For now, you can do this by right clicking its Dock icon, and checking the "Open at Login" option:

You can even combine these two tips so that Sesamouse automatically launches and hides on startup. Just go to the Accounts section of System Preferences, and switch to the "Login Items" tab of your account:

Next to Sesamouse, there will be a checkbox to have it hide automatically when you log in.

It's teaser o'clock somewhere

The menu of a new application, showing some photos

It's still got a few bugs, but a new photo-related Calf Trail production is nearing beta. I needed to step away from some frustrating Geotagalog 2.0 issues, so I took a break to work on another idea. Seeing the app come together in the last couple days has been exciting. Stay tuned!

...in a yellow wood.

2010 January 20

It's an honor to be among the first to announce a new landmark on the map of independent software development: Pseudorandom Software, LLC is Hjon's new company, and the new home of what were Calf Trail's iPhone applications and iPhone development services. Hjon's many unique talents and skills will be missed here, but we think this is the best way forward for both us and our customers.

We wish Hjon all the best with Pseudorandom Software, and know that the customers of Inbugz and the others are still in the same good hands. If you've been reading this blog for the iPhone news, you'll want to point your feed readers to @prsoftware on Twitter instead.

Hjon has been a blessing to Calf Trail, and I (Nate) am looking forward to opportunities we may find for future collaboration. It might take a bit to get all the App Store settings fully transitioned over to Pseudorandom Software, so please be patient as we get things re-settled. As always, either of us would be happy to answer any questions you have about this in the comments or via email.
