I Need Help

posted on july 11, 2003, tag: xpad

So I've finally, after about 2 months off, started working on my OS X application xPad again. I'm not really sure why I stopped (I think it had to do with busyness at work and the recode/redesign of ManiacalRage), and now I'm going to try to finish my to-do list and hit 1.0 within the next few weeks. This brings me, however, to a few requests.

One: I need beta testers. Badly. So far, it's been me and Shawn, and while we're intelligent guys, I need more people to test this thing for me. Obviously, you have to have an Apple computer. You also need to be using OS X 10.2.3 or later. If you have these specs (even if you sent me an email before about this), and would be interested in beta testing xPad, please email me.

Two: I need someone to design icons. Someone who can design OS X-like application icons that range from the app icon itself to the toolbar icons and more. I'm looking for someone who has a really great design sense, as I want these icons to fit into the OS as perfectly as they can. I am willing to trade meaningful items for this work (money, links, etcetera). If you know someone who can do this, or you yourself can, please email me.

That's all for now. In the near future I'll go a little more in-depth as to what xPad is and does, as well as provide some visuals of the application.
