So would it be fair to say that we'll one day be using SafeDeposit to shred our pirated copies of Duke Nukem Forever that we'll download using TominatedBrowser?

Good call Rampancy....

Hi everyone.

First off, I apologize for not being more active in this thread as of late. Secondly, and I hate to say it, but Safe Deposit doesn't look like it can get in shape for any sort of release.

You all deserve an explanation though: Safe Deposit was a multi-person effort, and things all wound up on me when the programmer left. I have been trying to get it done, but I am a designer – not a Cocoa programmer. We were *really* close to finishing, and that was why I had been so confident putting the web page up and letting you all know about it. Poof; My programmer left for personal issues. I then became hesitant posting in this thread because I was trying so hard to finish it, but at the same time didn't want to make any promises nor get into too much detail about the issues with the programmer (I was just keeping his personal issues private).

I hope you all can understand, but I don't think all the effort was in vain – I had also designed and implemented heists 5.5 and 6 at this same time, and it was great to see you all enjoy them as much as you did .

ha! I knew it.

:'(

I wish I were wrong though. I hope his personal issues are resolved.

Thanks Ollie for thinking to post here. I hope that whatever is bothering your programmer, he can get over it soon.

Could you possibly open source what you've got so perhaps what's left could be finished by others?

i was thinking the same thing, but the problem with that is that the purpose of the app would be defeated no more security if everybody knows how it works.

Not necessarily. GPG/MacGPG is open source, and arguably just as good as PGP.

I bet you could sell it or get another programmer. If it's so far along... I think you could get some sales from it.

Huh? Whats techtactoe?

Sorry to hear about what happened. I hope you get another programmer. Or maybe get picked up by inventive or Delicious monster.

Best of luck.

Just had to add: this is why Gruber defended the definition of vaporware.  Guess Arh326 was right.

techtactoe is a work "in progress" of a blog (somewhat like macapper) started by several MacHeist members.

Ohhhhh yeeeeeaaaaah........

I remember that (vaguely) cause after all it was my idea

What happened to it? Its like dead now. What happened to max?

Well, seeing as it's just vapor, now, could we see some full screenshots and a feature list? Pretty please?

Anyway, I really hope that this app can make it through, whether it be open-source or built with a new developer. I hope to see some more stuff from you, Ollie.

Open source. Music to my ears.


Ollie, perhaps you should consider making it open source? If the project is dead anyways, then why not?

Its just a suggestion though. The only problem is that its not really conducive to your financial wellbeing :(so its not really the best move i guess.
