Introducing BreakTime 2.0

May 12th, 2011 updated (May 12th, 2011 3:49pm)

Today, we're really happy to be releasing a new version of BreakTime.

What is BreakTime?

BreakTime is a simple Mac utility that's designed to help you remember to take breaks away from your computer. It never forgets a break, running in your dock and / or menu bar (or even in the background).

Encrypting with one-time pad

February 12th, 2010 updated (February 12th, 2010 5:33am)

Recently a client requested that we do some encryption on their behalf with an algorithm that we'd never heard of: one-time pad. Normally we'd shy away from writing an encryption algorithm – this type of thing is better left to researchers who aren't on project timelines and can vet their solutions with super computers and research assistants. However in this case, we couldn't find any PHP code out their, the algorithm seemed simple enough and the promises of theoretically unbreakable encryption were too much.

iPad Development Services

Today has been an exciting day for everyone who has followed the rumors of Apple's mythical tablet. They've finally lifted the veil and released the iPad.

With all the enthusiasm around the multi-touch interface, battery life, book store, etc., we've been drooling over the new SDK. We're already kicking the tires and are happy to announce that our proficiency in building efficient, well designed iPhone apps will give us a big head start in developing native iPad apps.

With that in mind, we're introducing iPad development as a service to all our customers starting today. We're looking forward to partnering with our clients to leverage the excitement around this new device and to have applications on the App Store the day that the iPad is released.

If you have an iPad App that you'd like to see created, contact us today.
