Part of the problem is that C++ syntax isn’t always the most user friendly, and generic programming is a paradigm, not a syntax thing, so it’s not easy to write a tutorial that grabs the reader and makes him think that this is it - it took me probably a year from adopting STL to really master it (and I learned new stuff throughout this period). I haven’t seen any good written introductions to the topic. Generic programming: I mentioned that I am a fan of STL/generic programming.I also have ⌘5 (on the numeric keypad) do pause/play in iTunes (⌘4 and ⌘6 are previous/next, and ⌃⌘0-5 are rate with 0-5 stars). If something is already playing, I press ⇧A instead of return to have it do “Add to End of Party Shuffle”. I have the default action for music (in Quicksilver) be “Play in Party Shuffle”, so I can do: ⌘space, B, →, select artist, select album, and then return (↩). That way, when the PS runs dry, it won’t start playing random tracks (I dislike listening to random music). I have created an empty playlist in iTunes and set Party Shuffle to source that. I have a smart playlist which shows all music played within the last month, and it currently shows 2,265 items (7.8 days worth of unique music), so I wasn’t kidding when I said I have the stereo on 24/7. Music I listen to: the genres I enjoy (while programming) are (in a nutshell) ambient/dark ambient/introspective, singer/songwriter, and trip-hop.I have an EyeTV, so I also run their controller software.

The full (boring) list of software I regularly use: Adium, Colloquy, Finder, GeekTool, iTunes, Mail, OmniWeb, Quicksilver, ReminderMate (something I wrote primarily to tell me when the tea is ready), Terminal, and TextMate.

You may want to create a test feed on your server for new versions, that way you can start by pushing the update to that feed, and after verification, to the actual (public) feed. I am using a makefile for this because it is easier to split up the process into various steps and re-run only one or some of the steps as necessary. That is, run the deployment build, package it, upload it to your server, and have it update the file/feed in which you link to latest version. That means, write a script that takes care of everything related to pushing out a new build. In addition to making it easy for your users to update, you should make it easy for yourself to release new versions. TextMate doesn’t use it mainly because my own stuff predates the work of Andy.

Release early, release often: The software update framework I mentioned was Sparkle by Andy Matuschak.

Number of people with commit access to the bundles repository: the actual number is 71 (I said around a hundred).

I felt a need to clarify/augment a few things I said, nothing too big.

Thanks of course to Blake for taking time to do this.
