I was bored yesterday, and decided to pass the time by browsing some web server logs. After finding nothing of interest on guardian’s logs (apart from all the 404 errors from previously hosted people who don’t know how to update links), I moved on to my (mt) logs. Now, I’ve written about my (mt) account before, but this time I have something important to note. And that is that:

Wallsaver has been downloaded over 260,000 times.

Wow. I haven’t even had 260,000 hits to visits of my sites. Combined. Had I decided to charge money for Wallsaver (which seems like it would have been a good idea; I was thinking $1.99), I’d have $520,000! (Okay, I know I wouldn’t have that much. 1 download isn’t the same as 1 user. Some where around 50% of the downloads are people updating to the newest version. Even the estimated $50,000 is still a LOT of money.)

Who knows, I just might release Wallsaver 3.0 as shareware @ $1.99. I can think of quite a few uses of $50,000.

I wrote yesterday that Wallsaver was coming along nicely and that it would be released within one week.

I lied.

Wallsaver 2.0 has officially been released. Here’s a copy & paste of the change log from the Wallsaver product page:

• You may now choose any screen saver in the “/System/Library/Screen Savers”, “/Library/Screen Savers/” or “~/Library/Screen Savers” folders.

• The new icon properly scales up to 512×512 pixels and depicts a screen saver that is Wallsaver compatible.

The screen shot below pretty much sums up the biggest feature of the 2.0 release.

So head on over to Wallsaver’s product page and download a copy. If you’re an existing user (you == win) you can update to Wallsaver 2.0 via the built in update utility.
