Don't worry. Mike has a long and storied history here. Even if our archives don't go back far for lame technical reasons, the memories of the membership do. We were all rooting for him when he first appeared (spel difrent! ), and we remember when he first got the gig at Omni. He's good people, and any occasional lapses will be seen in that context.
Thanks for OmniGraffle. It's a bedrock app for me. I can't wait for Library.
Hi, it's me. Let me first say I'm very honored to be able to work with Mike, he's a great designer and a real visionary.
I'm not going to try to take responsibility for anything he posts, but I will say he can be a bit of a hot-head. I do think "kim kap sol" was looking to get a response by posting inflammatory stuff about how minor Mike's role in the company is, but I've also been in the business long enough to have learned to ignore total flame-bate. Heck, he might be one of our competitors trying to get a rise out of us just so we end up looking like bad guys.
Actually, it was more of an assumption on my part that was taken badly by Mike. It wasn't meant as an insult or flame bait.
I'm not trying to make anyone look like bad guys. Like I said earlier, I've got nothing but high praises for this app...I bought an iSight because of the Delicious Monster Library news leak and my credit card is in hand and awaiting its release.
I wouldn't have started a thread about this app and how user-friendly and iApp-ish it looked on various forums if I was out to damage the comnpany's image. Looking back at my ArsTechnica thread I created, I also made a wrong assumption that Delicious Library was your company and not Mike's.
Again, I apologize for having made the assumption that Mike had a small role. I didn't realize he had such a major role...but now I do. It's just too bad the situation got blown out of proportions. All I assumed was that Mike had a minor role and somehow it got translated into 'Kim Kap Sol is an evil-doer out to destroy Delicious Monster's image and he hates Mike Matas'...not. true. at. all. If anything, I'm the complete opposite. I'm ready to buy Library and recommend it to my Mac using friends and my mom (who will probably be buying the new iMac and an iSight soon).
I know my mom will have a hoot cataloguing her books and CDs.
I need this app sooner rather than later myself as my wife and I are rearranging / rebuilding our condo in preparation for a mini-us. If DL 3.0 ships soon, I can catalog all the stuff I'll be migrating into the basement so I won't pull my hair out after searching for hours for that "stupid thing!!!!".
IOW I'm really looking forward to this program. I may have to pick up an iSight myself for the barcode scanning capabilities.
PBG4 dude -- If you really need the app soon, send mail to Mike (he's AT delicious-monster, which is a COMpany) and tell him why you'll actually use the beta, and we'll get you beta 4.
Kim: I'm really glad you're excited about the app. Are you using the beta? We could get you beta 4 when it comes out if you truly can't wait.
Wow congrats man! Looks like another future musician entering the world! Always a great time for mini-me to watch grow. I'm just glad that it's affordable now to get camcorders and actually edit the video to something worthwhile.
I'll definitely grab Library 3.0 when I get my iMac. The online DVD trackers are ok but what happens when I want to take my list somewhere? Ooops no export options.
I will definitely be getting an iSight too. What a cool cam much better than my crappy $50 logitech as it should be.
I must admit the future products I await with baited breath the most would be Delicious Monster's next product beyond Library and Omnigroups next two products(Omni Outliner and something new)
You guys(DM and Omni)make me happy to be a Mac lover.

I noticed your in Seattle (we are too). We work at the University Zoka coffee shop every day, if you want to stop by some time we would love to give you a demo.
Just wanted to pop in to tell you guys that I'm looking forward to this amazing piece of software and, like I did with Omni, I'll be beating down your door with plastic as soon as it is released. I don't suppose there will be a student license like OG has eh?
No worries, keep up the good work, and rest assured that there are many, many people looking forward to this great software.

Yes indeed. I actually sold a few products to an Omni employee a few years back when I worked at Computer Stores Northwest on 45th.
I'm hoping you guys get big so I can come grovel at your door after my CS degree is done.

Thanks, hmurchison!
Indeed I'm quite excited / anxious / scared / happy and that's just in the last 30 seconds! I just hope I know what I'm doing. The missus says the baby's quite active so we just might have a drummer in the making.

Hey thanks, wjsdelicious! The invitation to use your program is greatly appreciated and I shot Mike an email.
Since you guys are obviously keeping an eye on this forum, I have another question.
I get what the 'Books, Movies, Music games' tabs are for... but below them are the 'Kids Stuff, Science, Living Room' tabs... I just can't figure out what they are for? I thought maybe for where the items are located in the house - ie's, in the Living Room or Kid's Room... but then I can't figure out the Science option.

Can you shed any light on this?

Pretty sure they're 'smart-libraries' or custom libraries.
Yes, like said above, they are custom libraries just like you would make in iTunes. For example, I am in dental school and I put all my dental books into one list just like you would do a playlist in itunes. You could do mystery, drama, comedy, religious, etc. Definitely would help organize if you had a huge library like iTunes.

Sorry about talking about the beta. I did not mean to step on any toes. I was told to tell the world about my thoughts on the software. Obviously, I think VERY highly of the software and love testing. Won't say anymore about features beyond what is obvious from the pics on thinksecret. Again, sorry.
can't wait for the release -- yet another AI member with credit card sitting waiting! and i too have bought an isight to replace my old logitech quickcam for this app...
It would be totally cool if the program could look at the predominant colours in the front picture and make a spine out of it using the title and those colours .
I don't know if this has been discussed, but are there any Rendezvous features? Showing off your library?
Personally, those beta screenshots just blew me away. I would love to have this app, even if I would not use it, just because it looks so fucking cool!
Is there, or have you thought about implementing, .Mac syncing? Say if a mate wanted to know what DVD's you had... I could give him a link to a page at my .mac account and he could browse all the titles?
Could be a good idea.
Or it could be more work that would delay the release, which is something that none of us here want.

I'll definitely pop in Zoka's and say hi soon.
I'll put my hand up for Beta 4, if for no other reason than I just must have this app NOW!
Nah, I can wait for the official release, as much as it hurts.
Hurting,
iDunno.
PS. Another reason to wait is that I'll be buying an iSight in about two months anyway, so no point in getting Library till I have the iSight.

Does looking at the leaked ThinkSecret pics everyday count as 'using the beta'?
Ok...I don't look at the them eeeveryday...maybe every 3-4 day.
Oh, and I'd be honored to try beta 4...but would understand if Mike didn't want me to try it out after what I accidently pulled earlier.
