Photo Rotate 1.1 has now been approved by Apple and is available. This update works around an iPhone bug to ensure that photos not taken with the iPhone camera do not appear to lose quality in the iPhone photo browser. It also has small UI enhancements.

My second iPhone App, Photo Rotate is now on sale in the App Store, for a tiny AU$1.19 (US$0.99). This app does one thing – rotates photos. Sometimes, when holding your iPhone at a strange angle and taking a photo, the orientation of the photo is incorrect. This app lets you correct the rotation of the photo, so you can view it correctly, or upload it to a site such as facebook the correct way up.

1. Select the photo from your camera roll or photo library

2. Rotate the photo until its the correct way up

3. Save the rotated photo to the camera roll.

Following closely from my first OSX application (MServClientOSX), I have finished up version one of porting it over to the iPhone. The guts of the code compiled over without any issue, so all I had to do was implement the different UI.

This doesn’t contain the browsing or queuing support that MServClientOSX does – but it allows viewing the currently playing song, skipping to the next song and adjusting the volume.

MServ Client for iPhone is a client for the MServ music jukebox server for common area music playing. You can download it from the AppStore by clicking here.

Since we develop Windows applications at work, its now starting to become more common for clients to be running Vista. We found our first compatibility issue last week – performing ICMP pings that worked on XP nolonger worked – the API actually failed.

One of the quickest ways to find problems, is for the development enviroment to be moved from XP to Vista. So relunctantly, I am seting up a Vista Business virtual machine for this purpose.

I was quite suprised, however to discover that my Bed’s Printer Switcher application works perfectly in it. I was impressed to discover that OSX did this all for me – I don’t know if Vista does (it bloody well SHOULD), but if it doesn’t at least that will work without fiddling.

This is an Opera 9.5+ widget for viewing iiNet DSL usage.

*download/install*

Tested with Opera 9.5beta++ under WinXP, Ubuntu 7.10 and OSX Leopard.

Notes:

• Opera 9.24 and earlier do not support widgets and https and will not work.
• If error getting usage occurs and username and password is correct, wait a few minutes and try again.

Note: This application is no-longer being maintained by myself as I have moved from Opera to Firefox. Feel free to modify and distribute.

Note: Due to me not using Thunderbird anymore – this extension is nolonger being maintained. If someone would like to take it over, by all means do so.

This extension for windows Thunderbird 2 adds a ‘Copy attachment to clipboard’ menu option when you right click on one or more attachments. This allows you to then paste the file(s) into an explorer window, or any other application that supports pasting files.

Bed’s Printer Switcher is a small utility for Windows XP and Vista that enables automatic switching of the Windows Default Printer depending on what network you are connected to. It installs into the system tray and can be configured to exit after switching a printer – I generally have it start it up with windows, 60 seconds later it will change my printer to the appropriate one depending if I’m at home or work and then go away.

Note: This software is no longer being maintained by me, due to moving to Apple’s OSX from windows. If you would like the Delphi source code to this application, please contact me.
