If you're a windows developer and have done any dabbling in multithreading, chances are you've come across the "golden rule" that controls must always be accessed on the thread from which they were created. One of the easiest ways to...

This is just something I stumbled upon accidentally and realized it wasn't documented anywhere, and that other people might be interested. It has nothing to do with FeedBeast. To turn on smart quotes in Wordpad (and possibly other places, I haven't...

***UPDATE 2: I should mention that this release is only meant as a preview of a few new features and by no means a replacement for your everyday use. However, expect more frequent releases in the future that will fix up the remaining problems. There is...

[Although it is April Fools Day, I assure you this post is legit. It's not really that funny anyway. ] So, I thought you guys deserved to have an update as to what is going on, and why there hasn't been a beta 3 like I promised. Well, fortunately...

The loneliest number Happy Pi Day everyone! ...and now the obligatory FeedBeast update... Version 1.6 is once again starting to come together after the "surgery," and I'm making huge strides now getting the new architecture working. This...

Hey guys this is just a note that beta 3 is really close, but due to some last-minute concurrency issues I've had to abort the release tonight. I'll be away tomorrow morning, but might have time to look at it tomorrow night. Aside from a couple...

Well beta 2 is coming along swimmingly, if a little slower than I'd like. The XP ticker bug has finally been fixed, but there are still other very annoying issues with the ticker that will have to be ironed out before release. For some reason it all...

After making a few minor alterations to the code, beta 1 has been re-released as beta 1 redux. This version should now work properly under XP, and is now available as a zip file for easier deployment and testing. Just unzip the archive to a folder and...

There have been some issues concerning beta 1 that was released yesterday, and pretty serious from the sounds of it, so I've pulled the beta until the problems can be resolved. Seems as though: Beta 1 will not run on XP for some reason. Unfortunately...

Go ahead and grab a copy! A lot of work has gone into this, so I hope you guys are impressed. I hope it works for you, I haven't done a lot of installation testing (just once, in fact) so there could be lurking issues, but that's what beta 1's...

I just wanted to say thanks to all the users who have downloaded FeedBeast recently; we've really seen some big increases in the number of downloads, and thus (hopefully) the number of regular users as well. Thanks to everyone who has been submitting...

I've recently upgraded my machine to Windows Vista, and while my overall opinion is one of being impressed, I can't say it has been a perfect experience, especially from the perspective of developing FeedBeast. As you may know, my plans were to...

FeedBeast™ is using one COM component (well two, but one of them is built-into the system so it doesn't count) and lo and behold it has been causing problems with registration. I've been getting a few crash reports telling me FeedBeast™ couldn't...

The Horse's Mouth will be my development diary of sorts, where I will simply ramble about the development of FeedBeast™ just to keep you guys even more in touch with what is going on with the project. Please comment on and discuss my posts, I want...
