Phew. What a Summer it has been! Last time I had a look at the calendar it was August 2. We had just issued release 15 of bitsofMine and Summer in Finland was in full swing. My personal celebrations in the aftermath of this year’s football world cup were starting to slow down, at least…
Did you notice that on Facebook, more and more items start moving? I did. Sure, I already took videos in the 80’s and 90’s. All of them were recorded on VHS and they still exist somewhere in my parents’ home. I think. But they were too bulky to put them into a shoebox. Let alone, take…
Today is a day I’m really proud of: we just submitted our new bitsofMine release for certification to the Windows Store. And it’s a release that I personally consider to be the best we have done so far. Swiping the timeline is now much smoother. *Much* smoother. *Much* *much* smoother! 🙂 And: we have added 1-Click Maintenance! 1-Click…

Visual Studio 2012 became Visual Studio 2013. That also means that from now on, we will target Windows 8.1 instead of Windows 8. Shouldn’t be much…
Times they are a-changin’. A decade ago, in computer’s pre-touch dark ages, you had to think hard when you were about to push the release button at the end of your development phase: How many people will be affected by this defect you knew about? How many people will miss that feature that hasn’t been…
Yes, I do like Windows 8. And Windows RT. Like any operating system they have flaws, but actually they are pretty good environments for both developers and users. At least in my very humble opinion. Having said that I agree with many that the selection of apps is still, how shall I put it, limited….
