I'm pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of Meerkat 1.2, the latest version of our popular and easy to use SSH tunnel management application for the Mac.

You can read more about Meerkat, view a series of brand new video spotcasts (for desktop as well as iPod/iPhone) highlighting its major features, and download a free 14-day trial of the application on Meerkat's product page.

This release represents a lot of work, but especially so in the AppleScript, command-line, and SSH session launching departments. There are a whole slew of new features and enhancements and a number of bug fixes, too.

I hope to write more soon about some of the development challenges in this release, as well as the business aspects of major software releases and balancing a service and product business, but for now, go check out Meerkat!

Jonathan "Wolf" Rentzsch has begun posting free videos of last August's C4 indie Mac developer conference in Chicago. I was fortunate enough to attend this conference, as well as the first C4 in 2006, and I'm very happy to see these online, let alone available for free!

C4 was a big motivator in me striking out on my own and having these videos available free to the community is a huge boon to the Mac platform. Wolf says it best:

[O]nline videos like TED and Google Tech Talks have really driven home how great frictionless sharing of high-quality presentations can be. So spread these videos far and wide, all these are great speakers talking about subjects dear to their heart.

Hear hear! Enjoy these videos and spread the word!
