MonoMate is going OpenSource

After some good feedback I decided to make MonoMate an OpenSource project.

I use code.google.com as the projects host. The license will be GPL v2. I have never started an OpenSource Project, so if you see any problems with the license or have some expirience to share - let me know!

I will modify my version of the source a bit, wait for some comments/mails and then publish it. The project itself is already there at

http://code.google.com/p/monomate/

When the source is available I will post a notification here.

SimpleTODO 2.3 (OpenSource)

With the release of MonoMate, SimpleTODO becomes OpenSource.

I did not only converted and cleaned the source to work better with MonoMate, I also fixed some bugs, improved the layout and added the possibility of highlighting your tasks with a colors.

MonoMate, a solution for C#

After my jump from Windows to Mac OSX, the worst thing for me as a developer was the lack of developement solutions for my favourite programming language C#.

On Windows and Linux we got great tools like Visual Studio, Sharp Develop and MonoDevelop, which are great to implement applications for both platforms. But, because of major differences between OSX and Windows/Linux, it is no real solution to use these tools to create an application for OSX.

After some heavy research, I managed to get a build-process working to create real integrated Cocoa-OSX-Applications. My first real-life app was SimpleTODO. (Which is now OpenSource.)

During this time I tried out many Editors and found Eclipse, with Improve-Plugin, fitting best my needs (basic syntax highlighting, build-script-execution, integrated console). Still it was absolutely impossible to do rapid developement.

Bezel HUD fix

My Quicksilver interface BezelHUD had some memory leaks, resulting in a crappy speed.

I fixed this issue, so I would recommend every user to download the current version.
