We know, we did that again--quite a disappointment to many, and we learned that it even caused some frustration. A software developer always feels glad that his or ... http://www.lithoglyph.com/archives/25 A quick update of Mondrianum: the latest 1.0b5 (download here) extends the expiration date to June 14, 2008. The same goes for its Tiger version (download here and move the unzipped bundle to your /Library/ColorPickers). We made a mistake when we were packaging 1.0b4, so the Installer script would tell you ... http://www.lithoglyph.com/archives/22 It's been a week past April 1st.

The biggest issue we have at hand is to find ... http://www.lithoglyph.com/archives/19 We are moving Mondrianum's download URL to tsiohpuann.com, which we also own (pointing your browser there will redirect you back). Tsioh-puann means rock (specifically foundation on a rock) in our native Taiwanese language. We're gladly surprised by the popularity of Mondrianum, hence the decision to serving you the file from another ... http://www.lithoglyph.com/archives/18 We've just released the second beta of Mondrianum (formerly CocoaKuler), our OS X color picker plug-in powered by Adobe® kuler, a cool service where you can find, explore, contribute and share great color themes. Since its release on Monday we have received many positive feedbacks and also requests for a Tiger ... http://www.lithoglyph.com/archives/16 UTF-8 is really a great invention. In an oversimplified sense, Ken Thompson's insight saved the entire Unicode project. The beauty of UTF-8 is actually derived from two (among many other) observations: (1) Most C code work in an encoding agnostic manner, so long as they don't fiddle with sign semantic ... http://www.lithoglyph.com/archives/5 We have just started the business.
