A Dashboard widget to work with svn and Growl.

lab.arc90.com:

Version control is essential for collaborative development, and we do a lot of collaborative development at Arc90, so we rely heavily on our Subversion repositories. One of the things we’ve noticed is that it’s hard for developers to keep up with their repositories’ and working copies’ statuses: Is my copy out of date? Has someone committed something to the repository?

So we wrote a Dashboard widget that monitors working copies and repositories to make sure that it’s always clear what’s what. And we threw in Growl support to make the package extra appealing. It’s a great way to keep tabs on your development efforts.

Too funny to be true.

A winner of the runner-up in Dashboard Widget for this year’s Apple Design Awards hints at his new app.

So, I think it might be time for another test to play around with some things, just to see what happens. I’ve been keeping it quiet, but over the past couple months, I’ve ported the widget to Cocoa, and I’ve been working on a full blown app. With an app, you get a lot more screen real estate to work with, as well as some other things that are nice to have. And I’ve been thinking about a lot of ways to have the widget and the app integrate together, so they should complement each other beautifully.

Sometime in this year, I may drop PCalc from my Applications folder. I’m not liking PCalc’s interface. PEMDAS looks so slick. What he brings into his Cocoa app is intriguing.

I don’t know if it’s beneficial to write this post in English, but I’ll introduce two Dashboard widgets showing TV listings in Japan. More or less, both widgets have the same features such as regional settings, so which to choose hinges on your preference on the design.

One is WorseTV. The biggest advantage of this widget over the other is that this widget is compact and is able to collapse. The other is Televi, which is my favorite. This widget is bigger than the other, but has a clear and easy-to-read interface.

It’s up to you. Try both because both are free. Unfortunately, neither has English language support. Sorry if you read this blog post looking for a English speaker-friendly Japanese TV widget. I save the worst for the last.
