Oh the irony
Today I was digging through some files in my file cabinet looking for my business tax certificate. I mentioned this to a friend and he said "You do realize the irony here, right?". Yeah, I realize that I've written this awesome program for dealing with documents and here I am digging through paper. I do have a good reason for this. I like to keep my business and personal documents separate, so I never scanned in my business documents into DocumentWallet and didn't scan my receipts into ReceiptWallet. Now that ReceiptWallet handles multiple libraries, separating business and personal is quite simple, so I've begun to put business documents into a separate ReceiptWallet document library.

Can't buy reviews like this!
A few friends of mine pointed me to a ReceiptWallet review today over at The Apple Blog. I had no idea that a review was being written and that it would be so glowing! While the user base of ReceiptWallet is increasing, I usually don't hear from users unless they are having problems. Reading reviews like this makes me smile and know that all my hard work is appreciated. -
Buying a computer? Wait a week?
I'm not sure where I heard it, but I love the saying that says if you want to buy a computer, wait a week. There will never be a good time to buy technology as it will always get "better" and become cheaper. I had been planning on purchasing a new MacBook Pro after I paid my taxes, my my dog's root canal put that on hold. Today, I'm sort of glad I waited and will be waiting for the new round of MacBook Pros to come out (whenever that is) because Fujitsu announced a 320 GB 7200 RPM portable drives. I always get my portable machines with 7200 RPM drives as I like the extra speed for development. As of now, the largest you can get (at least from Apple in a build to order configuration) is 200 GB for a 7200 RPM drive. Hopefully Apple makes the Fujitsu an option or other vendors increase capacity for the 7200 RPM drives.

Another PDFKit bug
In my ongoing saga with PDFKit, a user had a crash that I couldn't reproduce and generously sent me the PDF that caused the issue. I was immediately able to reproduce the problem and furthermore, managed to get Preview to crash on that PDF. The crash was occurring when I tried to generate the thumbnail for the PDF.
