There was a small problem though; he compiled it as an Intel only app. It was a mistake and he plans on recompiling and rereleasing it but until then me, and anyone else with a PPC Mac was out of luck.

Thankfully Christian has licensed Juhu under the MIT license and released the source code so I was able to recompile it as a universal binary. If you’re running an Intel Mac then just use the official version. If you’re on a PPC mac you can either wait for Christian to get a chance to fix the official version or download my build here. I changed absolutely nothing other than the build options. Please don’t ask me to fix anything as I’m not a programmer, just a bored geek who can fumble his way around xcode. Also, if there are bugs in this build please don’t bug Christian about them because this isn’t his offical build.

Update: Christian has released 0.9.9 which fixes the PPC bug as well as a Growl bug.

Big mistake. Not only does the white plastic scratch easily but unless you use it wearing a bunny suit in a clean room it gets dirty real quick. So I either have to clean it at least weekly or I look like a complete slob.

I wish Apple didn’t make you pay for the black finish but I’m definitely paying the premium next time.
