Macs and Java

Monday, February 12th, 2007

First off, let me state unequivocally that the Macintosh platform has *excellent* Java support. Many Mac users have no idea that jUploadr is written in Java at all, and deployment is a piece of cake. Additionally, the Mac includes several libraries by default that help me shrink jUploadr’s download size on that platform. Very nice […]

1.1.1 Release

Sunday, September 10th, 2006

I had two bugs that I felt needed to be fixed ASAP, so I rolled a 1.1.1 release:

On a mac, opening a browser window would prevent jUploadr from closing.
If you have multiple accounts, the login button would not be updated with the most current account unless you re-started the app

I also made […]

JUploadr Beta Users Picked

Monday, August 7th, 2006

I have picked all of the Beta users, and the beta is now closed. If, however, you want the latest jUploadr, feel free to check it out from source and build it yourself. It’s not terribly difficult to do –all you need are Ant, Java (Get a JDK, not a JRE), and you’re set.
Once ant […]

Needed: A few good testers

Monday, July 31st, 2006

So, as 1.1 spirals toward release, I’m entering the phase where I need some testers. To that end, I’m teaming up with Thomas Hawk to find the best of the best.
So, if you want to test jUploadr 1.1, fill out a comment on this blog entry explaining to us why you’d make a great jUploadr […]

jUploadr finally gets Flickr love

Saturday, July 29th, 2006

How cool is this? I’ll tell you, VERY cool. The flickr guys and girls finally gave jUploadr recognition, and they did it in typical Flickr fashion. All I really wanted was a puny link on the third party applications page but no, they put it right below the official uploader on their main tools […]

Juploadr is seeing other people

Friday, June 30th, 2006

Well, it looks like the the cat is out of the bag, jUploadr will be Zooomr’s official bulk uploader. We’re still working out a couple of details, but the progress in getting this to work has been excellent, and once Zooomr’s API fills in some gaps, jUploadr will be just as functional with it […]

Help spread the love

Saturday, April 1st, 2006

A couple of months ago, I asked flickr if they would post jUploadr in the list of linux uploaders that they keep on this page or even this page. I received no reply, and it’s still not up there. I find this strange because I occasionally do google searches on ‘jUploadr’, and the overwhelming majority […]

jUploadr 0.7 OSX bug

Monday, September 26th, 2005

Last week, Apple updated Java on OSX, which had the effect of breaking the authorization flow (the browser window won’t open). I’ve already fixed this in CVS, so it’ll be fixed when 0.8 comes out. If you have the Mac client, and have already authorized, you won’t be affected, but if you’re a new user, […]

Here’s to the future.
