I had a truly great time getting to know “Dr. Drang” this week on Systematic. He may be a wee bit older than me, but I found a lot that we have in common. Kindred spirits, if you will.

Thanks to a catch and fix from Nathan Henrie, the SearchLink service has been updated to 1.6. It was snagging on matches where a preceded a Searchlink type of link and combining the url with the search command. This is remedied now, and thanks to Nathan for the fix!

Thanks to everyone for entering, that was a record turnout. I’ll be running some more giveaways in the near future, but the Giveaway Robot has requested a little vacation time.

I joined the guys at Twobiquity for episode 14. It was an interesting discussion about movies, TV, music and, my favorite, applications and Mac tools.

I had the pleasure of hosting another Terpstra on today’s Systematic. My brother, Wesley, is an artist, teacher, student, husband and father, and he’s pretty darn good at all of them. We talked about everything from perception to introversion, plus some discussion of heavy metal in its many varieties. Good times.

I wrote up my favorite new music player, VOX, this morning for TUAW. After working with the developers on the beta for a while, they’ve offered my readers a special promotion.

To top off the recent rash of software giveaways1, I have five copies of Chatology ($19.99 US value)! It’s a Mac app that brings instant search to Messages, so you can quickly locate any chat you’ve had. It can even (optionally) take over the Command-F key in Messages, so when you hit the find shortcut, it loads up, ready for instant search.
