    Quiet 1.5 is here

    Today we’ve launched both an update to Blotter and an update to Quiet.

    The 1.5 update of Quiet is primarily about improving performance and adding more compliance with Apple’s Mac App Store regulations (as a result the ‘Hide Dock’ feature had to be removed). We apologize about having to remove this feature, but we don’t make the rules.

    • The ‘Hide Dock’ option has been removed.
    • Focus out is now more battery efficient and CPU friendly.
    • Fade To Black and Wallpaper options fade in more smoothly.
    • Resolved a graphical corruption issue with Focus Out.
    • Restores Snow Leopard support

    Blotter 2.0.2 is out — subscription calendars restored.

    Blotter 2.0.2 is finally available in the Mac App Store. In addition to the further improving the Snow Leopard support, Blotter 2.0.2 also resolves the issue with subscribed calendars from iCal. This means that your subscribed Google Calendar should appear just like they did in 1.4, but with the new beautiful user interface of 2.0.

    Mirapoint Message Server-migration without resetting users’ passwords

    Before we get started, we should point out that we have not tested this in practice. We are only basing this on public information (primarily from this article). Yet, it sounds reasonable, and feel free comment below and correct us.

    Similar to both Dovecot and Microsoft Exchange, Mirapoint Message Server also support logging into users’ accounts via the admin account by using a modified username-string.

    Blotter 2.0.1 is out

    On December 5th we launched a huge update, namely Blotter 2.0. Unfortunately, a critical bug sneaked in that affected Snow Leopard users. We submitted an update to Apple the very next day. Unfortunately it took this long for Apple to approve the update, but the update is now available in the Mac App Store as a free update.

    Now with 2.0.1 released, we’ve submitted an update that resolves the issue with subscription calendars.

    We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience that these bugs may have caused.

    Why we do not support PayPal in YippieMove

    In the years since we first launched YippieMove, we’ve been contacted by numerous customers asking us to accept PayPal. While we have accepted PayPal from a few clients who were based in countries where Google Checkout wasn’t supported, this is rare (and we’ve transferred the funds away from PayPal quickly). Generally clients who are asking to use PayPal do not fall in this category.

    There is however a very good reason why we do not accept PayPal payment: it’s simply not a good experience. It’s not good for our customers, and it’s not good for us. PayPal has a well established record of mistreating its customers with little or no recourse. Once PayPal has arbitrarily frozen the money of a customer, whether it’s a merchant or private user, they provide virtually no recourse. There is no-one you can call, they are not regulated like a bank, and there is no ombudsman. Your money is simply beyond your reach, at the mercy of a few moody customer service reps.

    That’s just not an experience we want to provide to our users. Nor, frankly, one we can accept for our own business.
