Growl Notifications between 2 Networked Computers

Fri, 2010-02-26 17:09 — bdperk

This is really a Growl question, but one would be led to believe that I should be have a machine running Simon elsewhere on the LAN send Growl Notifications that would show up on my desktop. Has anyone that is using Simon done this? Any tips on what was required to get it to work?

Thanks

ps - Any ETA on 2.6?

Re: Growl Notifications between 2 Networked Computers

I can't really answer the Growl question. I vaguely recall seeing a remote Growl notifier somewhere, but I might have imagined it.

I do plan to enhance Simon in the future to enable sharing data between multiple machines, which would enable notifying via Growl, sound, speech, or whatever on a different machine than the test is performed (and checking on multiple machines). But that's in the future.

Re 2.6, I am currently wrapping up my secret new iPhone app... then I'll be working on an iPad edition of it in March. Once that's done, I'll be moving to Simon 2.6, in April. I'm looking forward to getting back to Mac development!

(Oh, and there will be Simon 2.5.6 next week, too; just a quick bug-fix update.)
