tagSense.net 0.2.2 uploaded - fixes broken 0.2.1

Update: tagSense doesn't work anymore. del.icio.us changed their API, and I don't have the time to update it. Sorry.

If you're using Firefox, I suggest the
del.icio.us Bookmarks addon instead.

Seems 0.2.1 wouldn't run on some PC's. A corrected version is here.

This version includes another small improvement: the list of related tags on the right pane is now updated as you type, showing tags related to the URL's displayed in the left pane.

tagSense.net 0.2.1 uploaded

Added support for:

• Connecting through a proxy
• UTF-8 (i.e. non-ANSII) descriptions

Note that I didn't test the username/password parameters for proxy connections, so I'll be glad to know if they work or not!

Also, there's a currently a problem with del.icio.us when retrieving non-ANSI tag names. Joshua has promised to fix it soon.

I have moved the tagSense download page

It's now at www.tagsense.net.

Thanks for the encouraging comments and e-mails, btw!

Andrei - I'll see what I can do about Unicode.

Hosting problems

Turns out that a free geocities account is not a good place to host a 1.3MB download. Apparently, their "hourly data metering" system creates a 3 downloads/hour limit, so the site keeps exceeding its allows bandwidth.

I've moved the actual downloadable file to a temporary (low speed) location, and will try to find a better solution soon.

Introducing tagSense.net

tagSense.net is a Windows client for del.icio.us.

The current version (0.2) is very limited in functionality (only a viewer at the moment), but it provides very fast access to your del.icio.us bookmarks.

Current features include:

• Import all bookmarks from del.icio.us
• Search-as-you-type
• Hotkey launch (use either Win+Z or Alt+Ctrl+Z)
• Access to the public del.icio.us page for any of your tags

See the download page for some more information.

If you've downloaded it - let me know what you think!

About this blog

So here it is: my first public post. Never thought I'd actually create a blog, but life's full of surprises...

Anyways, I've created this blog as a launching pad for some of my software creations.

I'm going to experiment with this for a while: whenever I decide to launch a new tool or add features, I'll add a post - and hopefully hear back from users with comments or ideas. I haven't got a clue where this will lead, but time will tell.

In my next post, I'll introduce "tagSense.net" - a Windows viewer for del.icio.us, which you can currently download from here.
