Keeping my software up to date across the web has proven to be quite a daunting task. Not only has it become virtually impossible to keep track of every single last web site providing links to my software, but whether or not those web sites are maintaining separate copies of my software on their own servers and whether or not those web sites keep those copies updated, has complicated an already almost impossible task tenfolds.

As such, I have gradually accepted my faith that the web as a whole is outside my reach, and shifted my focus to ensuring that my software is updated here at Mednotes.net as well as on the largest third-party platform for Macintosh software, MacUpdate.com.

However, it recently has come to my attention that my EMUlaunch Front Row Skin disappeared from the MacUpdate database during their server migration earlier this spring. Today I am righting this wrong, and my EMUlaunch Front Row Skin should now yet again be available over at MacUpdate.com.

Enjoy!

And just like that, all of our Siberian kittens have been adopted to new safe and loving homes.

I would like to thank all the wonderful people we have met on this amazing journey, and wish each of the kittens' new families the best of luck with their furry new family members!

We are not planning any additional litters as of the current moment. But in case our plans change, feel free to drop by Trans-Siberia.net from time to time.

Our wonderful Siberian cat 'Lolli' gave birth to three divine purebred Siberian kittens this easter, and they are quickly growing up to become true heartbreakers! Our journey with them is now nearly halfway done, and they will be ready for a new place to call home already by the last weekend of June 2019.

If you want to take a peek at these adorable little tabbies, pictures and details are now available over at Trans-Siberia.net. And if you by any chance live in Norway and would like to come visit (or adopt ) one of these hypoallergenic wonders, feel free to drop me a line

Sometime during the spring of 2017 Mednotes.net thundered past it's 1,000,000th distributed medical compendium. It's a shamefully late celebration, I know. But you know what they say...

...better late than never

I'm lost for words when trying to comprehend the sheer quantity of my works that have been downloaded over the years, even more so when factoring in the rate of secondary physical replication in markets I still keep tabs on. And it truly blows my mind when even trying to wrap my head around the very real possibility of a similar rate of secondary replication occurring in all the markets I have no insight into.

I have to admit I'm a little shocked from the frequency I still meet my notes in real life, whether in corner coffeehouses, in student libraries, or brought to my doctor's office by my actively studying patients. And this has been quite the reality check for me, especially considering my initial long-term strategy of retiring the web site once it turned 10 years old. But the web site is still hanging in there, going on it's 13th year...

...and we're now both in it for the long run

So thank you so much, every single one of you, for all the kind words though the years, for all the donations keeping this web site up running, and, most of all, for all your relentless motivation to become the best possible health professionals you can be!

Sometime during the course of the past couple of years the contact form here at Mednotes.net, once again, has gone down for the count. The problem is the same this time around as back in both 2013 and 2016, and there seemingly is no reliable way for me to prevent this from happening again and again in the future.

It saddens me to think about all the questions, requests and well-wishes I neither have been able to read nor respond to during this time. And I can do nothing more than to extend my most sincere apologies to all of you who have spent your precious time writing to me.

To prevent this from ever happening again, I therefore feel I have no other choice but to remove the contact form from the web site for the time being.

And for those of you still needing to reach out to me, all my contact details are, as always, available at the very top of the on-site CV.

Stay in touch!

I'm proud to announce that our gorgeous long-haired silver/black-tabby Siberian cat 'Lolli' is expecting kittens this spring. This will be Lolli's only litter, and the very first litter in the 'Trans-Siberia'-lineage of purebred hypoallergenic Siberian cats. The kittens will be born sometime during the first week of April, and will be ready for new adventures with new families already this summer.

So if you live in Norway and have always dreamt of a cute, warm and fuzzy little furball in your home, head over to Trans-Siberia.net for more information, pictures and updates once these bundles of joy arrive.

Get catified!

Vox was a seriously brilliant lightweight free music player for Mac OS X back in the day. It was the perfect companion to iTunes when wanting to listen to new music without adding it to your iTunes library just yet. It sported media key support and menu bar controls. And it played every single last obscure music format you threw at it, including all the tracker music and video game music you forgot you had.

However, Alessio Nonni, the original creator, naturally sold off the rights to Vox when he got the offer. And, as such, the last completely hassle-free version of Vox remained version 0.2.7 up until Mac OS 10.10 Yosemite broke it's compatibility some years back.

Well, not any more!

Introducing Vox 0.2.7 Yosemite Compatibility Update, restoring compatibility with Mac OS 10.10 Yosemite or newer.

Play it loud!

New in Vox 0.2.7 Yosemite Compatibility Update 1.0:
- Updated the core audio library to un4seen's awesome BASS 2.4.12.
- Vox now also supports Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite and newer.

As my coding proficiency has grown through the years, I've continued to push my already published software here at Mednotes.net to the very edge of my expanding competence. Most of my applications have gained so many new features and layers of polish as to be virtually unrecognizable from their meager origins, while some have even managed to transcend the ever elusive version 2.0 barrier.

To reflect almost a decade of refinements, I've now finally gotten around to create brand new screenshots for all my current software.

Say cheese!

While ScummVM is the best way to preserve and play all your old bitmap adventure games on modern hardware, ScummVM lacks the 3D rendering capabilities needed for the adventure games released around the turn of the millennium. But don't fret! ResidualVM has got you covered, with full support for several of the classic polygonal graphic adventure games from your youth. And ROMlaunch welcomes ScummVM's sister project with open arms.

ROMlaunch 1.9 adds both a brand new 'ROMlaunch GRIME' game launcher as well as a 'Create ResidualVM Game Shortcut' AppleScript for seamless integration of ResidualVM with Finder.

Get your game on!

New in ROMlaunch 1.9:
- Added brand new 'ROMlaunch GRIME' game launcher for launching polygonal graphic adventure games with ResidualVM.
- Added 'Create ResidualVM Game Shortcut' AppleScript for easy game shortcut creation.
- Fixed spelling in 'ROMlaunch SCUMM' and 'ROMlaunch JAG'.

The all grown up Hardcover 2 moves ahead with version 2.1, adding the final layer of polish to an already solid release.

However, Hardcover 2.1 doesn't come without its share of woes. Apple has in recent years made it increasingly difficult for me to continue developing Hardcover. Initially it consisted of a calculated neglect of the primary development tool of Hardcover in recent iterations of Mac OS X, forcing much of the development of Hardcover 2 over to a virtual machine running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. As mentioned in an earlier release of Hardcover, Apple also silently dropped support for user input for third party visualizers in iTunes several iterations ago, forcing the separation of Hardcover into Hardcover [Crystal] and Hardcover [Aurora]. And, as of iTunes 12.6, third party visualizers are no longer supported in iTunes at all.

Sadly, this means that the requirements for Hardcover will remain iTunes 7.4 to iTunes 12.5 for the time being.

But fear not! I'm far from done with Hardcover, and there are some insanely great new features coming soon to a screen near you!

New in Hardcover 2.1:
- Adjusted size and position of the custom placeholder inlay in Hardcover [Crystal].
- Re-refined position of the track information.
- Updated meta-information of Hardcover.
