FoxForward and just a few weeks to go

, August 20, 2007

Gah.  It’s crunch time right now.  There’s stuff happening behind the scenes at a rapid pace now. The shirts have arrived.  Attendees get a t-shirt with a FoxForward logo over the breast pocket and a large logo across the back.  I’m very pleased with the design of the shirts.  The image was taken from the [...]

One month until FoxForward 2007!

It is getting to be a flurry of activity.  I’m about to send off the conference book to publishing.  I have to design the front and back cover of the book as this publisher allows for cover art. I’m also trying to finish the design of the shirts.  The attendees will be getting t-shirts and [...]

Converting and updating my system : Part 1

, June 8, 2007

I’ve undertaken a new internal development project that I hope will really grow into something big.  I’ve designed a system for my company, starting way back in 2000, that helps me track everything.  It does contact management, project management, invoicing, aging, expense tracking, and document management.  I have had written it in West-Wind Web Connection [...]

REAL World – Day Three

, May 12, 2007

Another early day. The hotel room is immensely comfortable but I can’t seem to sleep. So I get up at 6am or so. It’s the last day so I’ve got to pack up. With my mild OCD, I check the room three times to make sure that I haven’t left anything, but I’m still convinced [...]

REAL World – Day Two

The day started off early. Again. I headed down for a great breakfast provided by the hotel, sponsored by RS. The RB and life talk were in full gear again. As a side note, I couldn’t wait to talk to Bryan Lunduke about TVEase’s announcement that their Zodiak product would be on sale in June. [...]

They’ve released quarterly releases in their rapid release model, every 90 days or so. Last year, this time, they had 10,000 Linux users. This year they’ve [...]

REAL World – Day Zero

, May 8, 2007

I left my wife and kids and dog at 11am this morning and began my long journey to the REAL World conference, held in Austin, Texas. While DevCon is going on in California, I’m drinking from the fire hose of REALbasic. The flight was uneventful, which is an event all to itself! The flight wasn’t [...]

Moneydance : Accounting for Win, Mac, and … gasp! … Linux!!!

, May 4, 2007

http://Moneydance.com I haven’t even given it a try … yet. But I’ve been looking for something like this. I have been using the very aged “Checkbook Tracker” to track my business checkbook. It does my math for me, and that’s about it. I run most of my business on Linux machines, and I’ve been looking [...]
