OO 3.6 beta 2 fixes forthcoming

Thanks to a kind person who sent me their kGTD file, I’ve fixed a crasher when upgrading to the 0.83 release of Kinkless. This fix, and some fixes for printing issues (along with a few other odds and ends) will be coming in a 3.6 beta 2 release in a few days.

Reproducible test cases are almost better than coffee.

[Update: OO 3.6 beta 2 is now out. If you are using KGTD, General Zod says you should update right away!]

Ack! Why am I only NOW hearing about Kinkless? This is brilliant. OO as a platform… in fact all of the Omni tools as a platform - I like it!

OK, take it one step further:

Ex: Draw the diagram for a manufacturing
or other process monitor in OG. Then
attach the device monitoring code to each
component of the diagram to show system
status. Voila! OG as a developers
framework also. It would sure make
a lot of developers make better-looking
human interfaces.

It looks out to me now. (You’re falling behind in the posting!) Incidentally, I hadn’t even realized that you could drag in Address Book entries; very handy.

Reproducible test cases are almost better than coffee.

Hear, hear!!! I’m managing some developers in India for a product used here in the U.S. and I’m constantly harping on this very topic with the users. If you can’t reproducably show me what’s wrong, I can’t give it to the developers to fix. They’re slowly grokking this. Makes my job soooo much easier.
