Ok, why am I posting all of a sudden, well I’m doing a data backup. I’ve done one DL DVD disc and am copying the disc. I also like to keep one and send the other to my mother. Then I’ll probably / maybe / perhaps / hmmm start my program updates. by JM
Since I setup my first blogs / forums several / few years ago, I’ve always wondered how to get people from all over the internet to participate. I still don’t have a definitive answer, but I have several ideas. As far as forums are concerned, I think with my old forums (before I deleted them) [...]
OK, shareIT does subscriptions and can send out new keys every month (which, if I were a customer and had to enter each month would upset me) alternatively they can send out the same key each month, so I think I’ll put some text saying this is a copy of your key. As a result, [...]
Here’s the first instalment of feedback on the mask program. I offered to watch my kids use the program and see how they got on as well as how much they liked it. When they use the program again I’ll make another post with follow up feedback. I’ll try to categorise the feedback as much [...]

I haven’t included stats from bug reports, which I haven’t got round to yet. The summary is based on all 880 reports from the [...]

Over the last year or so, I’ve been trying to manage my time better to give all of my projects time. However, I’ve tried to put the big earners first, but still give all my projects some of my time. I haven’t done any work on my kids program since July and I have millions [...]
