Did you forget DriveGauge?

NO!

However, there’s a bit of a story behind why it’s so… well, behind.

DriveGauge is the first application I wrote for Infinite Nexus and as such it goes back a long way (relatively speaking.) I started working on it in 2002 on 10.2 using Project Builder. Over the course of the next couple years I continued building it using these same tools while expanding it (with features such as custom table cells [not available on 10.2], Growl support when Growl came out, and general growth.)

Panther came out and I made sure DG was updated to work well on this new OS as well. Overall it had reached a point I was happy with. New ideas came about such as Compare Folders and dotMac Menu. I built these using Apple’s (then) new Xcode 1.x and never looked back.

By the time Tiger was announced alongside Xcode 2 and it’s expanded tools I was deep in the newer projects and DriveGauge still worked fine. So work continued on the primary commercial apps and spare time became even less.

Which brings us to today…
