WE ARE VERY CLOSE…

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

Some new and exciting buzz has been circulating around sticky head-quarters today. Within the last couple of days, there has been significant progress in the modification of our current sticky code, bringing us closer to full Mac compatibility. The Mac version of stickydrive is fast approaching and, upon release, will have all the same functionality as the current P.C version. We too are Mac proponents and we recognize the needs of our potential Macintosh community. We are extremely excited for this upcoming release and I will continue to update you frequently on the status of its launch date.
In other exciting news, there are some new and interesting features that will be appearing in the very near future. We cannot release any details yet, but I can assure you that this new development has never been done before. It will, without a doubt, change the quality and efficiency of your digital existence. Stay tuned for upcoming details.

Have a great day,

Sarah

FAST…LIKE A SPEEDING BULLET!

T.G.I.F.

Yah to Friday afternoon! I hope everyone has a great weekend filled with lots of outdoor fun and adventure, good food, cupcakes, horse back riding, swimming, bread making, snowboarding, and most importantly stickydriving! Before you take off to enjoy this nice weather and fun weekend, take a couple seconds to read some of the exciting stuff we have been doing here at sticky head quarters.

JACOB CRACKS THE CODE!

This morning was very exciting for Jacob. He finally figured out how to upload and show your pictures at lightning fast speeds. That’s right, I said lightning fast speeds. All jokes aside, the new viewer is crazy fast. I have never been able to view my pictures faster then this in any other way before. This speedy goodness will be ready for use on our next build, so hold tight and you too will be able to run like the wind. Awww.

NEW APPLICATION COMING Y-O-U-R WAY!

 Ever wanted to play videos wherever you are but don’t have the right software or codecs? Well, we’ve added the Portable VLC video player to our app section to let you do just that. Download it and give it a try.

NICOLE SAY’S…

 “A wise woman once created apple script. It likes both Mac and Unix paths, making my job a hell of a lot easier” and more importantly, “Otis the dog is nice.”

BERNIE SAYS…

 “The music of the day is… The Rite of Spring” (Stravinsky)

Take it easy and have a great weekend,

What a beautiful day in the neighbourhood…

Wednesday, April 19th, 2006

Hello stickydrive lovers everywhere,

Today is one of the nicest days we have had in Santa Cruz in a long time. Many interesting and exciting things have been going on at sticky head quarters today, so sit back, relax, and enjoy today’s blog.

First, Jacob is working furiously (well not that furiously) on a new scrapbook uploader. What does this mean exactly? Good question. It means that now, with the improved uploader, you will be able to upload your pictures to the server and generate code much faster and easier then before. This great improvement will be out in about a week, so I will be sure to keep you updated with its progress.

On another very cool note, Nicole is working very hard on the Mac version of sticky. It has come very far and is going to be really freaking cool when it’s all done. Personally, as a Mac user, I cannot wait for this launch. StickyMac is going to rock your world!!! Stay tuned, as I will be sure to continuously update you on its progress.

On a sadder note, Mr. Speiser has been away most of the day attempting to fight a very unjust speeding ticket. If you know Speiser at all, then you know that the man does not speed. He obeys all speed limits, stops for almost all pedestrians, and never ever tail-gates. We would like to give David a shout out…..HOLLA’. Even though success was not today’s end result, we the people, salute your glorious effort! Damn the Man.

Finally, I would like to announce that Sol is the proud new owner of his own personal GPS system. We hope you two are very happy together.

Have a beautiful day wherever you are,

Sarah

What do you like to do on Thursday nights?

Monday, April 17th, 2006

Hello out there,

Things here at sticky head quarters are going really well. The new build is out and looking great. The new installer makes getting sticky much easier and faster. If you have any questions, concerns, or comments just drop us a line and let us know what’s on your mind. That totally rhymed. I love rhyming.

Speaking of love, we want to know what you love. Not who you love, or what you love to eat, or even what you like to do late Thursday night after the O.C. I will be spending the next few weeks on secret missions finding out what you, the people, love to do on your computer. So, look for me around campus or in random Santa Cruz hang-outs….if you tell me what you love to do and use on your computer I will buy you a coffee and a maybe even a doughnut.

Until then, I hope everyone is enjoying sticky. Again, let us know if you have any comments or suggestions, all of your opinions are greatly appreciated.

Take it easy,

Sarah

We’ve got a new version out – 0.6.1

Wednesday, April 12th, 2006

Hey everyone,
Well, we can’t thank you all enough for your feedback and bug reports over the past few weeks in response to our initial beta release. We’ve been working hard and we’ve fixed a lot of the bugs that were reported. We also realized that the installer for the original release was not quite as good as it could be and was confusing to some users. So, we’ve completely redesigned it and it should clear up a lot of confusion and make everything a whole lot easier.

We’re already working on our next release which we hope to have out in 2-3 weeks that will bring some much needed improvements to the scrapbook uploader and to a lot of the behind the scenes file transfer operations.

As always, we love and appreciate your feedback and bug reports. Keep getting sticky!

Jacob
