Now accepting donations for ArchDetect by Thom McGrath
I've been working with Jordan Langille of OneToad Design on a new application icon and toolbar icons. Of course, this is going to cost money. On a freeware app, anything is too expensive. So if you would like to contribute some money to the ArchDetect project - either because you agree the icon is tacky, or just as a thank you, here is your venue. See the ArchDetect page at http://www.thezaz.com/products/archdetect/.
Also, anybody will to donate localization services, please get a hold of me. Use the address attached to the post above, or the one listed in the about box of ArchDetect.

HIToolbar Crash Situation by Thom McGrath
One of my users of HIToolbar has brought a crash to my attention, forwarded from one of his users. I'm at a loss for the reason, and the developer himself has been unable to replicate the crash. However, we do have a crash log from the user. If anything, this article should be to make other users of HIToolbar aware of the situation, if not solve the problem.
Status Update for REALSyndication by Thom McGrath
Hey anybody paying attention may have noticed a bit of inactivity over the last week. I've been working on a website for the company I actually work for, so my time is a little... spent. I'll get this done.
