Many of us are enjoying our IM interface (I sure am!). Unfortunately, it has been AIM only. The most popular request for the IM bot has been “give us Jabber!”. Today we’ve finally convinced HM Tasks to join the Jabbering ranks. It takes only a few moments to set up your account for IM. On…

So, we’ve seen a bit more press and blogger notice of Hiveminder than usual and we’re pretty excited: Hiveminder got written up in the Austin American Statesman. I found out becase we’ve been seeing a little bit more in the way of the "what are these tag things?" feedback than is usual and I went…

We’re working on some fun new Hiveminder features. More than a few of them are going to end up as ‘pro’ features. That means we’ll charge you a few bucks every month to use them. There’s one new feature I’m not willing to restrict to paid users. That’s our new instant messaging interface to Hiveminder.…

…I’m writing from about 38,000 feet, somewhere over the Atlantic ocean.  Right now, I really miss being able to work with my bug tracker and databases. But I’m getting a lot of software written and have cut my inbox down from over 400 new messages to a more manageable 26. My version control system and…

I got to present a pair of talks on  Jifty at the London Perl Workshop this weekend. It’s always a pleasure to get to hang out with the folks from london.pm….even if they do attempt to drag me out for drunken Karaoke on occasion. Seriously, though, I had a great time. I was the first…

This Monday morning, a friend emailed me to point out the incredibly nifty Google Calendar integration the folks over at rememberthemilk had put together.  It’s slick, clean and easy to use. I was pretty impressed..so I started to dig into just what they had to do in order to get things going. Turns out that…

You can turn on beta features whenever you’d like. Just visit your Hiveminder preferences page and click the "Beta features" checkbox and hit save. You can make any…
