Goya to sponsor FileMaker Product Conference in Chicago - Published on 09/20/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Goya announced that they are the sponsor of the upcoming FileMaker Product Developer Conference in Chicago this October. The conference is the only event dedicated to FileMaker-based products, and is a must for developers wanting to take their own products to the next level. With over 15 sessions on business topics, technical challenges, employment, outsourcing and more, there will be plenty of information for developers to use in their own solutions.

Melbourne, Australia - Goya is proud to announce that they are the sponsor of the upcoming FileMaker Product Developer Conference in Chicago this October. The conference is the only event dedicated to FileMaker-based products, and is a must for developers wanting to take their own products to the next level.

With over 15 sessions on business topics, technical challenges, employment, outsourcing and more, there will be plenty of information for developers to use in their own solutions. As well as a keynote from Ryan Singer, lead designer from 37Signals, there will be representatives from FileMaker Inc. and many leading FileMaker development firms.

Goya CEO Nicholas Orr is thrilled to sponsor the conference: "It's a fantastic opportunity for us to support the FileMaker Developer Community as well as to showcase our unique products. We think that this conference is the perfect platform for developers to get the most out of their own FileMaker products."

As FileMaker developer tool specialists, Goya offers three products which developers can leverage to improve their solution code, and make updates and deployment simpler and easier.

RefreshFM is the only update automation tool for FileMaker solutions. It allows developers to quickly build their own product branded updaters that end users can run with a single click.

RESTfm is a Web Services solution for FileMaker Server which includes sample code for product licensing, solution delivery and synchronization.

BaseElements is an analysis tool which allows developers to fine tune their solutions as they build them, reducing errors and removing unused code, so they can deliver better experiences to their customers.

Goya will be demonstrating all three products at the conference, as well as covering more details in two vendor sessions based on RefreshFM and RESTfm.

"I love being able to show product developers the sorts of time savings they can get, and the simple end user experience they can deliver, by using RefreshFM for their solution updates. We're really looking forward to this year's conference." Nicholas Orr Goya CEO.

Conference attendees will save up to $100 (USD) off the full conference registration price, paying only $650, by taking advantage of the "early bird" discount, available now through September 2013. Registration is open now.

By making these available to other FileMaker developers, we've saved time and money for other FileMaker developers all over the world. Starting with BaseElements in 2007 we changed the way developers built their solutions by offering them a tool that worked like FileMaker. In 2010 we created RefreshFM for automating updates and it remains the only product in it's category for FileMaker developers. Our free FileMaker plugin is extensively used and highly regarded by the FileMaker community for it's extensive functionality.

SCSC Releases a Major Update for Performance Probe for Mac OS X - Published on 09/20/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Virginia based Software and Computer System Company, LLC has released a major update for Performance Probe for the Mac OS X operating system. Performance Probe is tool that allows a user to monitor the current effective loading of their systems easily and quickly. This new update expands on the features and capabilities of the tool by offering dynamic memory, drive space, and virtual machine parameter monitoring. In addition, the company states that the user interface has been greatly improved.

Reston, Virginia - Software and Computer Systems Company, LLC, (SCSC) has released a major update to their product, Performance Probe for the Mac OS X Operating System. Performance Probe is an operating system tool that allows users to monitor the overall effective loading of their systems while in use. The new version has added dynamic monitoring of system memory, drive space, and several virtual machine parameters. This new version includes the fully featured version of Performance Probe as well as a miniature version of the product called "Performance Probe Mini." Both products feature dynamic icons that can indicate when a system is heavily loaded even when the application is minimized.

"We've had several minor upgrades to Performance Probe since it was initially released, but this is a fairly significant set of changes," stated Bill Wagner, the company owner. "Initially, we had just Performance Probe, then added Performance Probe Mini, then added dynamic icons. With this release the full sized version of Performance Probe and Performance Probe Mini split. Performance Probe, the full sized version of the product, now includes dynamic memory monitoring, dynamic reporting on drive space use, as well as providing virtual machine information to users. We think this greatly improves Performance Probe because not only will a user be able to see load levels a system is experiencing by looking at the probe indicators, they can actually watch other critical virtual machine parameters, like the page outs and amount of swap space being used by the system change in real time. Heavy loads will stand out like a sore thumb!"

"Both products have had their user interfaces improved. Functionally, Performance Probe Mini is the same product it was before this release, it just looks better. The full sized version of the product now includes pie charts for memory and drive space use, and a small table that reports on page outs, page out changes, swap size, and swap size changes, as well as the size of a sleep image, if one is present. All of these parameters are updated dynamically when probing is activated with the product. We were really happy with the results we were getting from the timing probes both products use, but now what's being reported is even better."

SCSC has indicated that this new version is designated as version 1.2.0.0. It is included at no charge with their products Scannerz with FSE and Scannerz with FSE-Lite. Performance Probe may be obtained as a standalone product as well. All current users of Performance Probe, whether they obtained the product as a standalone product or in one of the Scannerz packages will be able to obtain the updated version at no cost within a few days.

Pricing and Availability:
SCSC has indicated that the price for the standalone version of Performance Probe is $7.95 (USD). The tool is now a standard part of both the Scannerz with FSE and Scannerz with FSE-Lite packages.

Give Your Brain a Workout with Simon Plays Roshambo for iOS - Published on 09/20/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Irish software development company Moonswing today introduces Simon Plays Roshambo 1.0, their new, free game for iOS devices. Taking the rules of the game Rock, Paper, Scissors as its basis, Moonswing have produced a fresh, original game that tests a player's mental agility and ability to think under pressure to the very limits. With the length of the pattern increasing, or the time to respond getting shorter, players will find it harder and harder to keep track.

Athlone, Ireland - Moonswing today is pleased to announce the launch of Simon Plays Roshambo, a free to download game for iOS devices that brings a fresh twist to some familiar concepts. There are many memory games where the player must remember a pattern or sequence that increases in size as play progresses. Moonswing has taken this idea and combined it with the ever-popular playground game "Rock, Paper, Scissors" to create Simon Plays Roshambo - a game for players of any age, that's easy to understand but surprisingly difficult to play.

Simon Plays Roshambo has two modes of play. In Memory mode you must memorize an ever-lengthening pattern that appears on the wall in front of you and respond with the correct sequence - based on the rules of Rock, Paper, Scissors.

In Speed mode you again watch the picture that appears on the wall and respond with the correct button before your time runs out. The faster you respond the more points you score. The further you progress the faster the game becomes. And if all that isn't tricky enough, the buttons swap places between levels.

"It seems simple enough" says Moonswing founder Tom Tierney. "For example, a picture of a Rock appears on the wall. You have three buttons in front of you, so you press Paper, as it defeats Rock. Good start. However, by the time you've progressed through a few levels, with the length of the pattern increasing or the time to respond getting shorter you'll find it harder and harder to keep track. Eventually, infuriatingly, you'll get it wrong but your brain will certainly feel like it's had a proper workout by the time you're done."

Once you've mastered the basic game modes, you can make Simon Plays Roshambo even more difficult by turning on the "All Mixed Up" option. Now each time it's your turn to play, you'll be asked to either "Play to Win", "Play to Tie", or "Play to Lose".

So, your turn - Play to lose to Paper... "So, I need to press that button that is defeated by paper? Let me think... that would be..." Too slow! Time's Up!

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 4 or later, iPad 2 or later, iPod touch 4th Gen or later
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 10.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Simon Plays Roshambo 1.0 is Free and is available worldwide exclusively through the iTunes App Store in the Games category.

layrs App Introduces Innovative Capability Requested Most by Users - Published on 09/20/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Artware, Inc. continues to advance the world of mobile photo editing with the introduction of the Backgrounds feature to their app, layrs 2.2 for iOS. True multi-layer photo editing is finally available on mobile devices. layrs enables anyone to easily separate a photo into layers and edit each layer individually. The new Backgrounds feature allows users to completely change the story they�re conveying in photos by extracting the main subject from one photo and placing it into another photo.

Boston, Massachusetts - Artware, Inc. continues to advance the world of mobile photo editing with the introduction of the Backgrounds feature to their app, layrs. This was the most requested feature from their fans. It was just over a month ago that Artware, Inc. introduced layrs, the pioneer app in high precision, multi-layer photo editing on a mobile device. layrs wasted no time gaining traction in the competitive arena of mobile photo apps and claimed the #1 spot in the App Store on it�s launch day.

�We�ve seen an incredible reception of layrs from mobile photographers,� said Janice Ozguc, founder. �In a short 10 days over half a million users downloaded the app. The best part? We don�t just have a fan base of talented mobile photographers, but a group who stays connected to layrs by sharing their photos and competing to be chosen as layrs Photo of the Day on social media. We know mobile photographers love to shoot and share, but the response has truly been remarkable.�

The new Backgrounds feature allows users to completely change the story they�re conveying in photos by extracting the main subject from one photo and placing it into another photo. Once the new image is created the user can edit it with all the tools available in layrs, such as filters, blurring effects, different hues and enhancements, creating a completely unique image to share with friends and fans.

�Backgrounds is a natural progression for layrs. With the introduction of layrs, we provided mobile photographers a tool for creating photos that would normally require a DSLR camera and professional editing tools,� says Ozguc. �We listen and respond to the requests and feedback from the fans using layrs. They all wanted the next step, and Backgrounds provides the next chapter in the story told by their images. We�re excited for layrs to be part of their journey.�

The multi-layer technology of the layrs app achieves results previously unseen on mobile photo editing applications.
