PhotoGrabber 2.100 Release
On 25 April I released version 2.100 of PhotoGrabber along with a new project website. Just passed the 4000 downloads mark on this version. A follow up post containing details of the release will be made shortly.
tam7t: PySide OSX Copy/Paste Bug →
Writing this in case someone else encounters this problem.
The keyboard shortcuts for copy/paste/select all were not working on a Qt app I had written in Python with PySide. I tried it on the input fields of the PySide examples and got the same result. On Windows, CTRL+C, CTRL+V, etc work as…
I recorded this back in 2010 right before I graduated and my macbook self destructed. Seems that I never posted it to a blog so here it is.
Hello tumblr!
I spent most of last night transferring posts that were on posterous to this tumblr blog. Ever since the twitter takeover things have been going downhill and I expect posterous to one day fade away from the Internet… and now I am prepared!
Next step: Make a baller tumblr theme.
The Irony!
At least I think irony is the right word. About a week ago I uploaded a new application to the Android Market called PassWords. It chooses four common english words at random to generate a password. This method was described in XKCD #936.
I wanted to upload a new version of PassWords with some small UI tweaks I made today when - whoops - I forgot to write down the password protecting the signing key I used to initially upload the application. That’s right, I forgot the password I used to upload an application that generates easy-to-remember passwords. I keep all my Android application signing keys in a single keystore with a >20 character password, and each individual key has it’s own >8 character password. I use KeePassX to generate and store these passwords, but I guess I forgot to save my KeePassX database after adding the PassWords key. If only I had used my own application to generate the password…
The most annoying part is that the Android Market will not let you upload an application with different key or let you delete an application. This meant that I had to unpublishing the original PassWords and uploading the new version with a different package name (com.ourbunny.PassWordsNG instead of com.ourbunny.PassWords).
None of my other applications were affected by this SNAFU, but if you installed the original PassWords you should uninstall and re-download the new version. This will allow you to get future updates through the Android Market.
Lesson Learned: Don’t rush to publish anything. I was excited to finish the product and get it out the door, but in my haste I made a critical mistake.
