Pay it forward

Well it's been a tough week. No plague of locusts, but nothing else came easy! But we’ve reached final and it’s an amazing feeling. Our company’s growing and we want to show our thanks.

Here goes…

From Day One our goal has been to build an outstanding application, which is impossible without supportive, committed beta testers.

But beta testing is like jury service – who wants to get involved? It's purely voluntary, everyone benefits, and that’s why we’re so grateful.

We know it’s been tough at times, but what we've done together is build cool software - thank you. Trust us – the version we're releasing today is just the beginning.

Below you’ll find a list of 20 people to whom we owe extra-special thanks.

If your name is on our list you have a free, personal subscription to PJ Remix for as long as the application exists, or as long as you want to use it.

If you’re a beta tester whose name isn’t there, it’s tough to be #21 (and hard for us to draw the line) but we appreciate your help too. Email us and we’ll extend your subscription for an extra three months with our thanks.

All the best from Danny and the Dev Team

And our special thanks go to…

PJ Remix 1.11

On June 26, barring floods, plagues of locusts and unexpected software meltdowns, PJ Remix goes “final”.

Today’s release, v1.11, is our last pre-release beta. Don’t miss this last chance to grab our special offer!

Cheers
Team PJ

P.S. PJ Remix v1.11 release notes

So who won?

We're going for a literary tone today, and Nina mentioned Bill Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice. Well, blogging is like being on stage, reciting your lines… with no real idea whether anyone’s listening or not.

We’re not up with the big guys yet, but it’s great that our blog is now attracting some regular, thoughtful comments. – So who won this month’s free PJ subscription?

Well, we considered Megan for “PJ rocks some major bootie”. But sorry Megan, Daria offered tea and bikkies as well (where in the world are you, Daria?)

Then there was Nina. She writes vividly, Danny and I both love Blue-Grass and I’ve never been to Kentucky.

But the winner has to be TomK – for thoughtful comments, and several of them, most recently here. A plug for Tom's blog, too. Hard to do well, but what a great way to market, differentiate and present your work.

Thanks to all – keep an eye on Junction Newsletter 2 for our next freebie.

Cheers, Ian

Version 1.10 ready for action

We're pretty happy that Remix v1.10 is ready for you to download. We've done pretty much nothing but bug-fix and test for weeks. It's still beta but...

We're REALLY looking forward to our first final, so we can get back to coding new stuff!

If you haven't already, please take our baby for a spin, and our sincere thanks in advance.

1.09 Released and Rocking

Hi All

We've released 1.09, upgrade. We've made some ground with your favourite ( or not so favourite ) issues.

A few highlights...

1. Import - Export has been worked on even more and the developers practically begged me to post a 'howto' - so thats the a separate post.

2. Quicktime Movie, we think it's awesome but so does someone else. Forum Post

3. Templates - quicker and more robust.

Anyway thanks for the feedback from our survey (results coming soon).

Take care for now,
Danny (and the Developers)

Gates closed for now

Hi All

We want to thank everyone for the overwhelming response to our invitation to this stage of private beta testing!

It was so big that we decided to add more test slots than originally intended. If you're on the list you should receive beta testing information via the email address you used to subscribe to this blog. We apologise if you've missed out, but we do expect to open the doors again soon.

Have fun, play safe and remember, if you need help, please use our forums:

0.92 Released

We broke our record! We cleared 37 reported issues in 0.92 this week. Not bad eh? Considering there's a fair bit going on this week - for instance giving this blog a makeover, and adding a way for you to subscribe by email.

You'll be able to read the list when you open Remix and it invites you to update. Check out the list for the one you reported. If not, we'll be working on it. Our thanks for helping out.

Cheers
Danny
