Mac Formatted ipods on Windows

I have a macbook at home. I use Windows at work. I can't use iTunes at work because it can't read the mac formatted ipod. I can't format the ipod using a windows filesystem because the macbook/itunes can't update the ipod if it doesn't use the mac filesystem. There's third party software out there I could get to let me read that ipod on Windows. But I'm a little surprised that iTunes on Windows can't read the mac ipods. I would've thought Apple had source code lying around somewhere to read those filesystems.

Qwicket 1.0

Qwicket 1.0 is finally here. Apart from being entirely too busy with work and sick children, I've been anxiously waiting along with everyone else for the 1.3 release to go final. This version features some streamlined build process improvements and a more interesting default UI. You'll likely end up building a new UI but at least there's enough there to work with while your design guys build something more customized. Part of the delay has come from some odd compiling and generation problems in my development environment but I appear to have ironed all those out. If you see something odd, please don't hesitate to let me know and I'll try to iron out any issues as quickly as possible. This release isn't entirely revolutionary but I hope to make some dramatic improvements over the next few months making Qwicket much more robust and to make it easier to base projects off of and track the changes as Qwicket evolves. I'd also like to add maven support and move to ant task and maven archetype based generation as that's a little lighter weight for something that (at least for the moment) you use to generate your project and then move on from.

Hopefully Qwicket will help you explore Wicket and get your projects running more quickly. If you have any requests, please feel free to file an RFE in the tracker.

Gosling update

I have to apologize for going so long without saying much on the subject. We're in that mad rush to the finish line trying to finish up a release while the business types are busily moving that finish line farther and farther back. But enough with the sob stories, eh? Most of my online friends already know this but I've decided to drop development on gosling. I have entirely too many irons in the fire and something has to give and this, unfortunately, one of a number of victims of this downsizing. For anyone interested in taking up this project, I'll happily transfer ownership.
