TrafficStop update

Jul 03

TimUncategorized Comments Off

I am overwhelmed by the positive reactions that TrafficStop has generated from the community. TrafficStop has been featured at HackedGadgets, Engadget, Make: Magazine Blog, SWiK, and even translated to Russian. This site received over 3,000 visitors last weekend, and continues to serve hundreds of unique requests daily. Thank you all for your support!

With all the emails rolling in, I felt obligated to let the community know where I stand with the project, and take a minute to answer some questions.

Last night I started working on a windows version of the software using Microsoft Visual C# Expres. C# is surprisingly intuitive, and I should have some software worthy of release later this week (crossing my fingers) All of the software will be released as open source. It is my sincerest hope that other interested community members will continue to help me develop this project.

Here are a couple of screen shots:

SuperDrive Firmware update

Apple released a SuperDrive firmware update the other day, and all over the internet users are reporting that they now have access to older DVD+R discs. My MacBook Pro, on the other hand, still cannot even read my official AirPort Express install disc.

In addition, the update utility registered itself in my Login items. This causes the utility to complain, “No Updatable Devices Found,” each time the computer starts. Thankfully, this problem had already been exposed by MacFixIt.

To stop the program from running at system startup, launch System Preferences – Accounts and remove the entry from the list in the Login Items tab. See below.
