Magic Dice 1.5.6 Update

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 09:14:00 -0400

I just posted Magic Dice 1.5.6. The new version is built on the latest Framework project and also includes a slightly refined icon. With the release today, this week of updates has now concluded and all of my products are once again on the same page with Framework.

My thanks to everyone who has taken the time to send in questions, comments, suggestions, and bug reports, purchased a registration code, or bought something through the related products section. Your feedback and support greatly helps me continue to improve my products. Please keep it coming. More application-specific and, undoubtedly, framework-related updates are yet to come.

iKeeper 3.0.1 Update

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 10:02:04 -0400

The week of updates is nearly complete. I just posted iKeeper 3.0.1. This new version is built on the latest framework project to take advantage of the improved database code.

Finance 6.0.1 Update

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 09:30:00 -0400

Halfway through the week of updates. I just posted Finance 6.0.1. This update includes the improved database code in Framework as well as some new help content and code refinements based on user feedback.

Archive 6.0.2 Update

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 10:26:25 -0400

The week of updates continues. I just posted Archive 6.0.2. In addition to the improved database code in Framework, the new version also fixes an issue with the search pop-down menu, provides search status feedback, and modifies the search field for more consistent behavior.

Agenda 4.0.9 Update

Mon, 10 Aug 2009 09:46:05 -0400

When going through my framework project scripts this past week, I discovered a need to improve my database code for more reliable performance. One of the great things about the framework project is when changes or improvements are made, those modifications can be rather quickly and easily applied across my entire product line and so...

Welcome to a week of product updates here at YENCO.COM. To kick things off, the first update available for release is Agenda 4.0.9. In addition to the database improvement, I also had an application-specific change to make. Last week I upgraded the YENCO.COM site and started using Agenda (with a new style I created in Freeway Pro) to generate the news section. This was easy enough to accomplish, but one thing I wanted (and other users had also requested) was a way to set the name of the directory folder when building a calendar or journal site. The update released today includes this new feature.

New YENCO.COM site

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:12:49 -0400

Welcome to the anodized aluminum and glass-themed YENCO.COM site. Not only does the site have a new, more modern appearance, but I have also made several other improvements.

The new site is wider so it can accommodate full-size pictures of my software products. The feedback section has been redesigned to present all the contact options available and tailor the forms for the particular type of message you wish to send. I've also included helpful current version and build number examples next to the relevant fields so, as long as you know you are running the latest version, you don't have to go looking up the info to put into the fields. The messages in the feedback section are also designed to be more informative. The about section now offers more details about YENCO.COM and SuperCard. And finally, the news section is now generated with Agenda 4.

I hope you enjoy the new site. As always, your feedback is most welcome.

Archive 6.0.3 Update

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 10:15:37 -0400

Archive 6.0.3 is now available. This update corrects an issue that could occur when trying to catalog a device that contains "/" character(s) in its name.

Snow Leopard Notes

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 17:00:54 -0400

My copy of Mac OS X 10.6 is here! Yay! I have tested all of my products and they appear to be running fine under the new frosty cat except for a minor cosmetic issue with window widgets and the masking of some controls under particular circumstances. This is a SuperCard issue and I have alerted the developers so hopefully that will be resolved soon.

YENCO.COM 4 to be built on Framework

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 14:00:00 -0400

I created the YENCO.COM application to help manage daily operations including customer data, feedback, project tasks, press releases, sales, and more. While all my public applications recently went through major upgrades using the very latest technologies available to me, apart from some minor relatively minor improvements, the YENCO.COM app has stayed pretty much the same.

Unfortunately I've reached a point where the old architecture of the YENCO.COM application is showing its age. Many things that used to be fast and efficient are now taking far too long to load under the weight of all the accumulated data. It is time for a major change.

The YENCO.COM 4 app will be a complete rewrite on top of my Framework project. Even though the app is not publicly available and not shareware there is much to be gained from this decision. The SQLite database at the heart of the Framework project will be able to handle massive amounts of data with far greater speed and efficiency. The list manager code in Framework enables a better interface with less work. The checkpoints and built-in benchmarks provide information that will help to keep the new app running smoothly for years to come. But most important of all...

Any improvements I make to the Framework project in the course of working on the YENCO.COM app will be available to all my other products, and any improvements made to the Framework project when working on my other products will be available to the YENCO.COM app.

Work has already commenced on the new application and is proceeding rather well. I hope to wrap up this project rather quickly with as little impact on operations here as possible.

Season's Greetings from YENCO.COM

Minor updates

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 15:17:34 -0500

I just released iKeeper 3.0.2. This update fixes an issue where notes were not being displayed properly. Existing users can select Check for Update... from the iKeeper menu to download and install.

I also noticed a couple minor issues with my new YENCO.COM 4 app earlier today and corrected them.

Happy new year!

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 10:54:03 -0500

Thanks to everyone who made 2009 a really great year. I could not have accomplished so much without your incredible support and encouragement. I'm looking forward to working on some amazing new updates and upgrades in 2010!

To start things off, today is the first day I am running the YENCO.COM 4 application. This complete rewrite on top of the framework project has been months in the making and contains almost 200 new and improved features. It provides far greater speed and more efficiency than ever before and it delivers a solid infrastructure and powerful new tools that will help me take on the challenges that lie ahead.

Fri, 26 Mar 2010 10:07:16 -0400
