TaskPool update

I'm pretty confident no one but me uses the taskpool app, but just in case, I just made a pretty major update. In the last version, the tasks would get serialized to disk (in rdf:local-store) when you closed the program. Seeing as I leave my workstation on all the time, I rarely had the need to close the program.

Today windows decided I had done one "ctrl-shift-b" too many and spontaneously rebooted, losing all the tasks I had built up over the previous weeks of stability. I spent some time tonight refactoring the code and making things save automagically, so now not even killing the xulrunner process loses my precious, precious data. I also found some bugs where the rdf was getting corrupted, so that is fixed as well.

Downloads:

  • taskPoolBundled.zip (5685 KB)
    To run, unzip the file whereever you want, and run the "taskPool.bat".
  • taskPool.zip (55 KB)
    To run, unzip the file whereever you want, and run the "taskPool.bat". You must have downloaded XulRunner, and have xulrunner.exe in your path.
