A few days ago this blog turned 6 months old. A very short life for a blog though I’m quite happy that I’ve been able to keep this blog going for so long with hopefully interesting content. My intention for this blog was to write about the ongoing development of eWrite, the software and the business, warts and all. This is still my intention. Its easy to write about the good things, it can be hard to write about the bad things such as missed opportunities and even harder to ask for help.

Luckily there have been little or no bad things to write about. When asking for help, no matter how big or small the request some other blog authors are happy to help or point the way. Of course I would like if we had more customers for our products but thats not a bad thing, thats what ‘work’ is. I will continue to develop the software, meet with new and existing users and try to learn from them to make the software even better.

More than anything, this blog along with other social apps such as Twitter has introduced me to many fantastic people. Through blog comments and Twitter conversations I have met and continue to form relations ships with great minds here in Ireland such as Iarfhlaith Kelly, Damien Mulley, Conor O’Neill, John Peavoy, Michele Neylon, John Keyes, Robin Blandford, Alan O Rourke, Peter Donegan, Derek Organ, Chris B. Kerndter, Dave Kelly, Donncha O’Caoimh, Roger Galligan, Leon Quinn, Aedan Ryan, Frank Prendergast, Calvin Jones the list goes on and on…

I’ve met many great people too in the ‘real’ world through Open Coffee and business organizations such as BNI.

The Feedburner widget showing the modest number of subscribers to this blog is a huge boost for me. The number fluctuates from time to time and I’m sure there is more to that number than I know about, its a great motivation to know that there are a people out there reading what I write. I hope the content has been interesting so far and that it continues to be.

I enjoy writing about our developments at ewrite, getting feedback from fellow developers so that Im not just developing for the sake of developing and creating something useful to businesses. I also enjoy testing out services such as my earlier posts on The Logo Company, advertising on Facebook and posting up any data I get for others to use, hopefully these posts are useful and encourage other businesses to try them out. In the near future I will try to review some tech products out there that I think could be very useful, such as the Sony eBook reader. I think this is a great product with great potential. I had the opportunity to play with the new version in the US recently.

Thank you to all the readers! Keep those comments coming.
