Secret Weapon Notes: Volume 1

I’ve been close to changing the format of the blog, for the better, to enhance the posting frequency quality. But, there more to come on that on a forthcoming post.

In the meantime, discuss:

• FileMaker Inc. has released updaters for FileMaker Pro 8, FileMaker Pro 8 Advanced, and FileMaker Pro Server 8. You can get it for your version of FileMaker here. v.3 updates include fixes for printing problems, web hosting and network hosting issues, calculations, and performing searches on unstored calculations.
• If you’re looking for a productivity enhancing app, check out The Daily Grind 2.0. It’s a donationware Dashboard widget designed to keep track of time you spend on tasks/projects. It’s certainly worth the price [Found via tuaw.com]
• There’s always something interesting to learn in Stuff About Stanley Kubrick.
• Gotta love these new ads [Found via Advertising/Design Goodness]:
  
  
  
• If you’re like me and struggling to get Subversion up and running on your Mac as a versioning system, then you might be interested in this screencast to set up Subversion. [Found, yet again, via tuaw.com]

• On that note: Will your web-app make money? Find out here.
• On a more sobering note: There is a captivating, despressing and illuminating narrated photo essay on the 20 year anniversary of Chernobyl. A strong stomach or strong sense of blasé and indifference is certainly necessary.

Enjoy!
