This blog has been a bit neglected over the past few weeks, which have been among the busiest I have ever endured. Now I’m happy to say that all this business is finally over, today marking the day I received my degree.
A few other exciting things that have been in the works. First of all, I’ve been interviewing with Apple for quite some time and they recently offered me a job. I have accepted the job and will be starting early next month, just in time for WWDC! I’ve always dreamed of working at Apple, so this is an amazing opportunity and I can’t wait to start. This also means I’ll soon have a replacement for my stolen MacBook Air, and so MultiClutch can get some much needed love (I’m currently writing this post on a G4 Cube which, besides lacking Multitouch support, is a quite beautiful but painfully slow machine to develop on).
Speaking of MultiClutch, check out the video coverage it recently got from Macworld’s Dan Frakes. Great demos, Dan! I’d love to put video demos of the gestures like those in Apple’s pref pane into future versions of MultiClutch. The response to MultiClutch has been really great, if a bit overwhelming as I finished my thesis and exams, but I’m really looking forward to making MultiClutch shine now that those things are behind me.
The next couple of weeks will be my last in Portland, Oregon while I take some much needed R&R before the move down to SF. I’ll also be catching up on the mountains of emails, ‘gnat tasks’ and paperwork that built up over the final stretch of things. See you at Railsconf!

Congratulations on the apple job, are they giving you a free computer or a steeply discounted one?

hi there,
I had kind of a question for you…
the gestures I use are for the global use of my mac, and often they conflict with the application.
i.e. rotate left and right control my movement across spaces. turns out that when I’m finder, I change the size of icons…
is there any chance that multiClutch will include the possibility of create my own gestures? i.e. two finger clockwise to switch across my spaces?
thank you very much!!

I doubt you still check this blog, but congratulations on the Apple Job! Also, I’m sure everyone would appreciate progress on Multiclutch. For some reason nobody else has had the same idea for a mac app, so someone must continue! Thanks!

Just make Multiclutch work on Snow Leopard, add four finger gestures and multiple key commands in series per gesture (Steermouse can do this).

Congratulations on the degree and the job. I think Apple will be better for having you there (and we will too!)
Prosper!
