Recent updates
16-Nov-2019: Bus Panda 2.4
Now that MetService have taken their overhauled web site out of beta, Bus Panda needed a small update to remove the "MetService Beta" weather option and update the display rules to make sure things look as good as possible.
21-Sep-2019: Bus Panda, now with Dark Mode
Version 2.3 of Bus Panda has been released. It includes support for the new iOS 13 Dark Mode along with a couple of new weather providers - MetService Beta and Windfinder. To choose between them, go to the iOS Settings app and scroll down to the Bus Panda entry.
15-Jan-2019: New year, new job
I'm now working for RIP Global - check them out!
10-Apr-2018: Add Folder Icons update for High Sierra
It took a while, but I managed to work around High Sierra bugs to produce version 3.0.4 of Add Folder Icons. This is available now on the Mac App Store. For more information and Finder toolbar droplets, see the main Add Folder Icons page.
23-Oct-2017: Still here!
Life in New Zealand is awesome... But it means I'm spending a lot more time outdoors and less time updating web sites! So there have been few updates here.
In the mean time, check out the Facebook link in the sidebar for more recent public photo albums; I do hope to update the photo albums locally in due course with higher quality originals.
On the music front, you can now get hold of uncompressed audio from my Bandcamp page:
I have also not kept up with announcing any code updates. Although there are few new features, Bus Panda got a number of updates for iOS 11. Find version 1.6 on the App Store with source in GitHub.
29-Mar-2016: Add Folder Icons update available
Version 3.0.2 of Add Folder Icons includes useful AppleScript support extensions which allow more interesting behaviour in scripts. Some examples are included in the form of Finder toolbar "droplets" which can be downloaded from the Add Folder Icons page. Version 3.0.2 is currently under App Store Review and will be available soon - some of the droplets will work with version 3.0.0 or 3.0.1 too, so you don't have to wait to try them out!
17-Mar-2016: Add Folder Icons version 3 now available
Add Folder Icons is available on the Mac App Store. At the time of writing it has only just been approved, so if you see an older version please try again in a few hours. It seems to take a while for new releases to propagate across Mac App Stores in all geographies.
