Robert.Hodgen.me

Over the last few weeks I have been debating whether or not to change OS X 411 from a blog running Wordpress to a forum running Invision Power Board. My friend Jason Hilton recommended I install a forum and highly recommended IPBoard as he was pleased with it on his last project: Mustang411.com.

So yesterday I purchased IPBoard plus the blog and I’ve been working on transferring some of the most popular blog posts over to the forum. The new site incorporates a new blog, from now on I’m going to try to pick the best threads from the forum for use on the official OS X 411 blog. In addition to the official blog, users are able to create their own blogs on the website, enabling them to blog about projects or whatever.

I also setup a twitter account, @osx411 where I’ll probably tweet for some of the blog posts.

The new portfolio-styled RobertHodgen.com

A while ago I moved my personal blog from roberthodgen.com to where it is now, robert.hodgen.me. I left that old blog up all this time mainly because I didn’t have any ideas as to what to do with it. I figured the old domain would make an excellent portfolio/hub type website so I whipped up a quick and if I might add good looking design complete with java script goodness for a nice web 2.0 styling.

You can visit the new design at RobertHodgen.com.

Like I previously mentioned, Swap It was approved by Apple earlier and it just went live in the App Store a few minutes ago. Be sure to check it out in the App Store http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=333177120&mt=8. It costs 99-cents and I hope you’ll check it out, and should you purchase it that you’ll enjoy it.

Swap It Icon

For the last several months I’ve been working on my next iPhone app for iPhone and iPod touch, Swap It. Swap It is an App that lets you swap or share your iPhone’s pasteboard (clipboard) with another user of Swap It.

Swap It is scheduled for release on October 12, 2009 (tomorrow). Look for it in the iTunes App Store.

My first public iPhone/iPod touch application is now available in the iTunes App Store. My first app, “Calcutipr” is a simple and free Tip Calculator for the iPhone platform. It is the first application that I have polished enough to be ready for distribution.

I haven’t been working on it long, but after rewriting it a few times to mess with different ways of making it work I’ve gotten it to the point it is at now. I plan on updating it and adding new features to it as I come up with ideas for implementing new features.

Give it a try, its Free and you’ve got nothing to loose! iTunes Link.
