Our iPhone plans
You can read about our plans for the iPhone in this short interview with Fortune Elkins.
iPhone optimized Pending Email Advisory
We've introduced a new Pending Email especially for iPhone users. There's a write up here.
Calling all iPhone users!
WANTED: 50 special users required for "iPhone user panel"
We are looking for 50 special iPhone users who are willing to give us some feedback about using our email service on an iPhone. In return, we will provide a year's subscription to AlienCamel's "Clean Email" service for free - an $80 value!
For more information, visit http://aliencamel.com/iphone
AlienCamel works great on the iPhone!
Some of our users are reporting that our email service works just fine on the iPhone.
IMAP, Pending Email Advisory, and everything else just worked out of the box :)
However, we're not stopping there - stay tuned for improvements to the service that's optimised for the iPhone.
Roll Your Own Blog: Small Things
I've made a couple more changes to the blog:
I've fixed a bug which caused errors when trying to grab comment feeds for articles with no comments.
Behind the scenes, I can now create posts that only admins can see, letting me edit a post and get the formatting right before making it public.
Between these two things, I spent about two hours working on the code this afternoon.
Total time spent so far: about 7 hours
Add comments when killing a monkey
One of the criticisms we've had of Monkey On Your Back is that, when someone kills a monkey you've sent them, you have no idea why. Have they even completed the task?
Now, when killing a monkey, you can add comments and tell the monkey whether or not you've completed the task.
Any comments you add will be emailed back to the sender of the monkey.
Merlin Mann likes Monkeys
Merlin Mann (of 43 Folders fame) has made Monkey On Your Back his pick of the week on the MacBreak Weekly podcast.
(If you're keen to listen, it's in episode 11, about 1 hour and 7 minutes in.)
MonkeyFilter
We got a mention on MonkeyFilter, who describe themselves as:
"MonkeyFilter is a Metafilter clone, only with more bananas and less flinging."
Excellent! One can never have too many bananas.
They also sum up Monkey On Your Back nicely:
"Like a ta-da list for someone else, only cuter and with monkeys."
Meeting scheduling done simply
I've always thought that shared calendars were an awfully big and clunky solution to the problem of choosing a meeting time for a group of people.
Enter Doodle, where you can create a poll about possible meeting times, and then just email the link to invitees.
I love little, simple solutions like this.
