Clean Start on OS X Lion

I recently bought a new (to me) MacBook Pro with Lion installed. The previous owner hadn’t had the time to completely wipe everything from the machine since I bought it 3 hours after I first responded to his Craigslist post. So, I found myself in need of starting completely fresh and Googled it. I found some disjointed posts in various Mac-related forums, but nothing that said “This is how you do it”. So, this is how you do it:

Zerply

I was recently informed by my tweeps of a new (at least new to me) service called Zerply. Weird name, but a cool site nonetheless.

Tick 1.0 Released

After much work and testing I’ve finally released Tick, a timer and invoicing tool for freelance software developers. You can find it on the Mac App Store here.

Mac App Submission

I recently found myself needing to submit my new application Tick to the Mac App Store. I figured “No problem! I’ve already gone through the iPhone app submission process, I’m sure this will be eerily similar.” Well, yes and no.
