While those less hardy might have succumbed to the temptation of lazyness, we worked for literally part of the day to get this release out the door. Shup v0.21 is a good Shup, a happy Shup. It contains changes to the image editor tools (resize/move/upload selected areas), the history list (more butter), and custom output formatting, for those times when a simple URL in the clipboard isn’t enough. There are also some bug-fixes, and a new installer as well.

Happy New Year.

Shup v0.20 is out the door and includes the addition of a couple new history list right-click menu items as well as bug fixes to browser autocropping and tagging support. A small but useful sequel to v0.19.

Speaking of Shup, zdnet.be picked it up and reviewed it — click here to read it; translated to english. The reviewer was kind to us; for example, “Shup is a useful intermediary for some time actions and deserves a prominent place in your system tray.” Awesome!

I guess it’s time for language packs =)

Just a quick note tonight to say that I released Shup v0.19 tonight. The main change in this version is the addition of web browser autocropping, which removes browser chrome from four major browsers (Firefox, IE, Opera, Netscape). Aside from that, there are a couple of bug fixes and tweaks that should make Shup run a little bit more nicely.

I also moved the beta version of Stashbox into the main site, so get to using all those hot new features!

Another month passes and we roll out another delicious Shupdate. In this release, Josh added a nicely-theme-able history list (check out the bundled skins, and get more at stashbox.org in the coming weeks!). Also added is automatic window client area cropping, drag-and-drop files onto Shup to upload, the option to start Shup with Windows, and a handful of bugfixes that make v0.18 a pretty solid release.

Again, remember to check out the Shup image gallery, Stashbox file requests map, and the Shup review in the October 2007 edition of Computer Power User magazine.

Welcome to Shup v0.16.

After a bit of manual labor, Josh and I settled into a night of Shuppin’ at the warehouse. Bad jokes were made, KMFDM was listened to, and code was written. In the end, we decided to include changes like a blur effect in the image editor, more support for existing effects in IGNITE, and some new useful options for the upload history list (try right-clicking it.) We also fixed the bug introduced in v0.15 which you are all about to witness as I push v0.16 live. Sorry! Hopefully the crash makes you wonder if there’s an update to fix it, etc… =)

Two months later and we’re back with a release that includes support for multiple image formats and image resizing. It also has optional user pins for Ignite, so you can see where your cohorts are painting. Additionally, there are a few bug fixes.

Today I updated shup.com by adding an image gallery of paintings made with Shup. Hopefully this page will stay updated with the latest and greatest Shup art. Feel free to email it to me (dan at this domain).

On both stashbox.org and shup.com I decided to get rid of the AdBrite ads. They were a pretty big eyesore and didn’t make jack for the site, so screw em. Plus, now the banners for our friends will show up all the time =)

Stashbox also saw the addition of a file request Google Maps thing. This page places pins on a map of the earth in locations from which Stashbox file requests originate. So if you download a file, you’ll show up on the map (anonymously, of course). Nothing too fancy but I threw this together in like 20 minutes the other day. Maybe sometime I’ll even get around to making it show the requests “live” instead of just simulating it!

Shup got a decent review! Click here to read it, or go buy the October 2007 issue of COMPUTER POWER USER magazine.

Finally, in server news, we still have yet to do our reinstall so expect that in the coming week or two.

Lately you’ve probably noticed our server has been down a lot; this is due to us a) moving the server to a new host, b) losing our sysadmin, c) struggling to de-cruft all the server configuration stuff, etc.

I think today I have fixed the problem that was causing the server to slowly suffocate, requiring a weekly reboot. But we’re not 100% sure if today’s fix will actually be the fix, so think positive thoughts and soon we’ll have the server in top form.

Thank you for your patience and sorry for the loss of service.

Sorry for the downtime, we had to move the server.  But of course our old host decided to cut us off like three days early, so that was fun.

Anyway, enjoy the new bandwidth and look for Shup 0.15 in the near future!

Both stashbox.org and shup.com will be down this weekend as I drive our server to live in SF (thanks Justin)!  I hope to have everything back up by Monday, so try to live without Stashbox until then
