We get a little “evil” at MakeFive for this… an edition of MakeFive TV darker than Vincent Price’s skiffies. Sit back, relax, and pour yourself some fresh gruel. We’ll serve-up the top five costumes, pumpkin carvings, and horror films, all in the spirit of the season. And all of it comes with the cheese sandwich [...]
Just a general “FYI” to the MakeFive Community: we do know that points are problematic. To be frank with you, it’s just a harder thing to remedy than it may appear from the outside. Additionally, we’re really concentrating on notifications/video, and as such points won’t be addressed for a little while yet. As noted in [...]
As some of you already know, we’ve become rather vigilant in monitoring MakeFive and ensuring that the community keeps growing in a positive way. Yesterday we were alerted of a topic that had been flagged as questionable. After a brief review we deleted the topic and sent a warning to the member. I may have [...]
One thing you learn very quickly about software development is that you add far more to lists than you tend to cross off, and generally at an ever increasing rate. Our list of fixes keeps growing, and as daunting as that can be at times, it’s also really exciting to see how we can continue [...]
As you may know by now, we’ve started our own little podcast for MakeFive, and it’s probably the most awesome thing you’ve ever seen in your whole life.

I think that a lot of people called their friends and neighbors and told them all about it. Okay, enough silliness… These are all really little odds [...]
I still remember the arrival of all of those parental advisory stickers on tapes and CDs in the eighties. (I was twelve or thirteen at the time.) Tipper Gore and her buddies at the PMRC (Parents Music Resource Center) took arms against music they wanted to shelter children from. In time, the whole thing turned [...]
A couple of weeks back, it struck me that a little podcast might be a nice way to better connect all of us. So, Eric Shelkie and I met down over a REALLY strong espresso at Caffè Artigiano and I frothed at the mouth about the idea. (I do this a lot.) Later that week, [...]

Well… the day has finally arrived! After a long stretch of work on client projects, the development team (Shinya and I) are finally able to put some time in on MakeFive. The list of cool new features and bug fixes that we need to work on has been growing steadily over the past few months, [...]
