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 [...]
As a developer Im quite aware that I should have begun to use version control a long long time ago to develop our apps.
More than once I read about and tried to use CVS or SVN. The learning curve to set these systems up on a server is probably not too steep but I was [...]
If you were to spend 1,000 Euro of your own money on your own business, what would you get?
At the start, spending your own money on the business isn’t unusual. If you were past this point or if some extra money landed on your lap, what would you spend it on?

A couple of weeks ago I wondered how many emails I send and receive every day. I was just curious, it wasn’t for any particular purpose really.

Earlier this year I started something which I’ve wanted to do for some time, I begun to make smaller versions of the various tools we have created along the way focusing on content management, [...]
Ironically, the broadband went down as I was writing this post so I have to post using Dial-up.
Almost every day I need to FTP files up to remote servers. For as long as I can remember, files and folders almost always fail to upload correctly. Whats worse is that it can sometimes LOOK like a [...]
I’ve been thinking about putting a little box on this blog showing a counter of the number of users of eWrite products, would this fit with being open or is it vain or pointless?
