Twitter has finally turned off all basic authentication and gone over to using oauth. I knew this was coming, I had no excuse to wait to upgrade various Twitter scripts used by MMISoftware, and also the plugins on the range of blogs we host, but I did. So, what did I learn?

This was an interesting project, which ran over last summer.

This was a big project during the summer of 2008. I can’t say who the work was for, but I can post about what the system does.

I have just got around to checking out some of my php/MySQL websites I have on my MacBook after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). And the good news is everything appears to work, but a few tweaks were needed.

A quick post about the blog… As you can see, the blog has undergone an update, and there are two major changes.

Another update of theSnowSite. This one was minor…

MMISoftware has been very busy on a number of projects.

MMI have been working closely with Court Park Properties to develop their website. We are also working with the company to develop specialised ‘in-house’ software for use in the property development trade.

In addition, MMI has been working very hard since March 2005 on an exciting new website project. The site is being developed in php and MySQL, and will also lead to a number of ‘stand-alone’ Mac OS X programs. Can’t say anything more about this project at the moment…. but watch this space! (This explains why updates to existing programs have not been coming along and why nothing much has been said on this blog!)

Besides writing software for Mac OS X MMISoftware also develops websites for companies.

Over the past few months MMI has been working with Quartz Finances Ltd to develop their new website. Part of the project was to develop an online financial calculator called CheckLease. This turned out to be an interesting problem….

As you may have noticed, if you have been here before, the blog has changed!

Originally the blog was hosted over at mac.com but was moved to this location in February 2005. The move came about due to some hosting problems over at mac.com and because it was thought it was better to have the blog at the same site as the MMISoftware website.

The blog was written using iBlog. The program works ‘as described on the tin’, however, it was always a bit limiting in the html that could be created and in the design of the eventual blog.

Yep, no post to the blog for some time!

Reason? Well, I have been busy coding for a new project (more on that in later posts), developing version 2 of iCalMaker, and working on a website for Quartz. The main Quartz site has been up for awhile, but I have been working with Quartz to develop a new online calculator. The calculator should be up and running in a few weeks. It has been a major project! All produced in php.

Also, I have been away on holiday.

A week long break to St Anton in Austria for skiing. Had a fantastic time. Conditions were great, but the weather was awful! We only had 1.5 days of sunshine, the rest of the time it snowed, and snowed, and snowed. I have posted a few pictures online and they can be found here. I also had my usual post-ski cold, which turned in to something really nasty this time!
