WriteRoom is an interesting text editor from Hog Bay Software. Launch it and it goes into full-screen mode with green text on black background, just like the good old VT100.

I was browsing the Hog Bay Blog today when I came across this post on Hog Bay’s future. Near the end of the blog entry is instructions for how to “buy” WriteRoom for free. I followed the instructions and got my copy. The process looks like a normal checkout with no indication that your credit card isn’t actually charged. But hey, I trust Jesse, the guy behind Hog Bay.

If you’re one of the lucky 457 users to download TapDex between roughly 8 am and 3:30 pm today, you get a very special version of TapDex with a “Secret Feature”.

You are probably wondering what the “Secret Feature” checkbox does. Go on, enable it and see for yourself. If you can’t figure out what it does, that is because there is no secret feature. I put that in there for debugging purpose and had forgotten to remove it.

The checkbox does absolutely nothing and is therefore harmless. But if it bothers you, please download a new copy from the TapDex product page. Sorry for the inconvenience!
