Head over to Houdah.com to discover an all-new web site.
We hope the new layout will improve your experience of reading up on our products and on finding support resources.
Thanks go to Ryan Scherf for the excellent job on the design.
BTW, while we were at it, we have also created a Facebook fan page.
Last week we released HoudahGeo 2.5 - a major update to our photo geocoding solution for the Mac.
HoudahGeo 2.5 has adds full integration with Aperture 3. Upon geotagging photos with EXIF & XMP tags, HoudahGeo may notify Aperture that new metadata is available. This allows for Aperture Places to immediately refresh. This brings the same level of integration to Aperture which was previously reserved to iPhoto'09 places.
This makes HoudahGeo the ideal companion of the Places feature in both iPhoto and Aperture. It extends the photo geocoding feature set way beyond what Aperture can offer. Yet iPhoto and Aperture users retain the full benefits of the excellent Places feature. HoudahGeo adds a myriad of ways to geocode and publish photos. The latest of which is geocoding from iPhoto reference photos. HoudahGeo also brings Google Earth export to the table - a brilliant way of sharing and showing off your photos.
HoudahGeo is also able to access iPhoto, Aperture & Lightroom databases without opening the actual applications. Thus iPhoto and Aperture users may now handle the whole geocoding workflow within HoudahGeo and still find their Places database to be up-to-date.
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of "Sudoku Duo - Dual Player Sudoku for iPad". "Sudoku Duo" is a dual player Sudoku game for the iPad. Players may collaborate or compete. A single player mode is also available.
"Sudoku Duo" is based upon the same powerful Sudoku engine as ACTSudoku for iPhone. It is thus able to provide an almost infinite number of Sudoku games categorized in 3 levels of difficulty. Additionally it is able to provide intelligent hints.
Players sit at opposite ends of the iPad and each have there own Sudoku board. They try to solve the Sudoku puzzle by using both positive (green) and negative (red) pencil notes. In collaborative mode, each value entered by one player automatically shows up on the other player's board. The game ends as soon as one player completes the puzzle. The winner is the player who committed the most correct values, made the least mistakes and used the fewer hints.
"Sudoku Duo" may help players by blocking digits which are obviously no longer available and by setting positive markers for the remaining ones. You should further narrow down the possible digits by setting negative markers.

- Three modes: compete, collaborate, single player
- Three levels of difficulty: easy, medium, hard
