Developing for Palm OS on Mac OS X can sometimes be complicated by the lack of up-to-date tools for OS X. I started the osx-palm-tools project to provide free and useful tools to developers. This open-source project groups several tools I developed: Cocoa Palm Reporter, USB-TCP Bridge, HostTraceGlue, the Palm UI Constructor currently in development, as well as stuff developed by others. All free, under open source licenses.

BrainForest is the premier action item, checklist manager, idea keeper, and project planner for Palm OS® handheld users. It was also the first product of its kind on Palm OS back in 1997. I'm still working on it and it is now being published by Ultrasoft.

Other Downloads

KProf open-source developer tool

If you use a Windows machine either with Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection, or with a USB switch to share your Mac keyboard/mouse between both computers, you probably noticed that Mac keyboards are poorly supported under Windows (especially international keyboards). I created a French keyboard layout file for Windows 2000 / XP which allows using a French Apple Pro keyboard either directly on a PC or through a Remote Desktop connection (should also help with VNC). Instructions are included for people willing to create their own keyboard layout file.

Download MacFrenchKeyboardLayoutForWindows.zip v1.1

Download Vista / Windows7 64-bit version: MacFrenchKeyboard64.zip

New version 1.1 contains setups for both Apple and MacAlly keyboards.

I worked mostly on Linux during a couple years and developed the KProf open-source profiling tool for developers. Since I'm now working on Mac OS X only, I am no longer the maintainer of KProf but others are actively contributing to it.

Pilot-link library

I use the pilot-link library in my Sync Buddy product and am the maintainer for the libpisock core of pilot-link. Besides debugging and improving the library, I wrote the Mac OS X USB code that it now uses to provide native USB support on Mac OS X. I can provide service and development around pilot-link if you wish to build products around this library.

Personal

My résumé is up on LinkedIn. Sorry, I don't provide any other format anymore.

I live and work in Juan-Les-Pins on the French Riviera. When I'm not coding, you can find me windsurfing in the bay or biking around the Cap d'Antibes. I also show some of my photos on Flickr.
