Pretty good for a guy with no advertising budget and mediocre language skills. These statistics does not include external download sites. Notice all the Mac downloads.

I'm not sure if this is just randomness at play, but I develop software that runs on Windows, Mac and Linux and my download statistics are showing some very interesting tendencies.

Almost all the people who download software are Mac users, even though my download page has an audience that is pretty much split 50/50 between Windows and Mac. Linux and other Unix systems amounts to around 4% of traffic.

Windows users read my stuff, but almost never download anything. Are they afraid of software ? Or are my statistics lying because of Chinese-American spammers scraping my website for content five million times a day ?

Or is this the real reason Web 2.0 is such a hype ? Because Windows users get angst every time they install a piece of software that is not from a Fortune 500 company ?

Here are my Download.com (Windows) and VersionTracker (Mac) pages. Maybe this trend will change over time.

Compete lets you compare Download.com and VersionTracker.

It was never my intention to write Teppefall applications in Javascript, but here is a simple example on how to do it. The update system, the DSR (Teppefall Runtime) launcher and some Application logic is not available at this time because of dependency problems. It is hard to use Javascript when the concept of a Class is replaced with something else. And working with all kinds of adapter logic is also pretty confusing.

If you want to run this example, just move the /network_app folder into the Teppefall SDK root folder and run Network.cmd or NetworkOSX.sh. This demo showcases plugins, the taskbar icon, layout and basic setup.

You have to download Teppefall Layout to get the original layout file used in this example.

Teppefall SDK Javascript example: network_app.zip

network.js
network_plugins.js
