By popular demand, heads up 'tunes 0.4

There's a raft of new features, none cooler than the popup you get if you hover over an album cover when the window is too small to show any text. Pictured left.

Happy Matt?

The big change is that it's now designed to stay running all the time. When you pause or stop iTunes, the hut window will tastefully fade away. When iTunes fires up again, it will come back. There are a number of new options in the prefs window to support that such as adding to your login items.

Available now :)

Brilliant way to schedule events with others

When you don't know which of a few meetup times will work for everyone a meeting request email isn't going to work. doodle.com lets you select a number of date/time options on a calendar and send an email to your friends/colleagues to indicate which ones suit them - then calculating the best option to maximise attendance is easy!

You can do simple polls as well.

heads up 'tunes Version 0.3

This release adds a new preference to stick the hud display to all spaces, as per Mr Barnes request.

I also changed the framework used by the prefs window, so let me know if there are any issues or raise a bug: http://mark.aufflick.com/software/heads-up-tunes/bugs

heads up 'tunes Version 0.2

The much awaited version 0.2 of my iTunes thingamy is now released! Version 0.1 installations should find the update automatically or go to the home page to download it yourself.

You can now resize the window yourself, so it can be skinny or wide:

You can turn off the shadow if you wish, and it now remembers it's window position between runs. And that's about it :)

No comments about my music selection please!

Mankind is No Island

This beautiful and touching short film was shot in Sydney and New York, on a camera phone.

Incidentally, it won Tropfest New York, the New York chapter of the Tropfest short film festival started in Sydney. Fantastic thinking and story telling, and just maybe it will inspire some of us.
