This isn’t a personal blog so the posts here are usually ewrite and work related but every now and then either by accident or design some personality creeps into a post. This is one of them.

In October I wrote a post asking if graphic designers would join a mailing list to receive work outsourced from eWrite.
There was immediate interest. I use the mailing list to email the details of a business or individual looking for a website to be designed. The email contains all the details of my meeting with [...]

In July I wrote about moving the ewrite applications away from software as a service and back to software as a product and the reasons for doing so.
Springloops has played a huge part in facilitating this change. Our applications eWrite Lite, eWrite Messenger and eWrite Essentials (eWrite Lite and eWrite Messenger combined) are now all [...]

Ewrite can now detect any applications [...]
