Monday and Tuesday I needed to get away from OMiC because all my trials over the weekend fail and so I looked into Microsoft Entourage 2008 Plug-in development.

I got it, you want a Entourage version for OMiC. My last try is now to contact the General Manager of the Macintosh Business Unit, Craig Eisler. Hope he is kind enough to answer.

Wednesday I looked into the issue why Microsoft Outlook creates ATT000xx.txt attachments, I will blog about it soon.

Thursday finally located most Panther issues and start fixing them. I used for this 10.3 and the Xcode tools which comes with this, this was like a time machine. And I won an systemhelden/systemheroes t-shirt, unexpectedly, for sending feedback ;).

Friday fixing Panther issues, and I found a Mac OS X Tiger Install DVD and was able to setup up my old PowerBook G4 as test and build systems for OMiC 2. It’s now running 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5, and now I can use it without the external drive.

When running your own software business it is important that your website don’t go down, everything runs over your website. I current use a Hetzner dedicated server, and was unsure about the network availability after reading some blog posts.

Here comes SiteUptime into the game, which give you a free and simple way to monitor your website. And a short time this night my site wasn’t available, so I will try to check this with Hetzner and keep a eye on it.

A short update to OMiC, the last beta version in running very well on Leopard, the problem is still supporting Mac OS X 10.3 Panther.
