Morning ritual well underway, and this mornings distraction was the inability of my calendar (iCal in 10.4) to put a default alarm on new events. Wouldn't you know it, this was enough of an annoyance that someone (mr Blum) wrote a utility that integrates very nicely to take care of that.
Interesting as well though, is reading the comments. It's a good microcosm of the development process. Feedback, the odd bug, changes, upgrades, migration path issues, copious feature requests, a new environment from Apple kind of obsoleting the software, but still lacking, so the search for a way to bridge the add-on into a new life.
It's a great case-study if someone out there is looking at the socio/cultural aspects of software development... which nobody does of course, but interesting none the less. In big companies this all happens, but with many more people, a much more complex ecosystem and big pallet loads of money involved.
Researchinator looks to clean up his calendar...
