When will I officially release my K program?

Well I say officially, I’ll just update my pad file, maybe run the submission software and maybe a blog post, maybe add a news page… Ooo I could email people. However, every few days I’m make a small tweak and uploading a new version. I think I’m close to tracking down all my current bugs [...]

Hosting problems – one thing I can do without

As I’ve just released V2 of one of my products I’m in an ultra paranoid state – will people like the changes, has the product lost some key appeal that convinced people to purchase, is there a crash that simply makes people toss the installation away as rubbish? From some of the recent posts on [...]

Silly errors which creep in when your in a hurry

Well its the 1st of November, yikes were getting very closes to Christmas now, erm “RABBITS”. Don’t you just hate it where you think of a really great idea, which takes a second to add to your software and will add a huge benefit to your program. And you think, ahh that won’t cause any [...]

Getting an 0845 number for our shop sites on the cheap?

While trying to find new services to accept our product feeds, by posting messages on help sites / forum, I found some great advice for e-commerce sites. The top tip was to get an 800 number, this was the US, but I think an 0845 number as opposed to an 0800 number would be good [...]

How to connect another PC to your HP Wireless print server?

After about an hour of trying, I’ve finally figured it out. I thought I’d put this post up to remind me in the future, it may also be useful to others in the future. This relates to adding another printer to a HP 21011 Wireless G USB Print Server, but it may be similar for [...]

Whats happening with my new program version now?

At the middle of last week I released (quietly) a new version of Kids Mask Factory I didn’t realise till the start of this week that I had a small bug (introduced at the eleventh hour) which came up saying that there were essential files missing. I quickly fixed this bug and since its been [...]

Why I’m going to stick

Over the last 24 hours I’ve been revisiting the idea of renaming and breathing new life into my ideaspad program. I had an idea that I could focus on a feature previously a secondary feature which wasn’t really a complementary feature. I thought of some keywords which I thought described the program, however that was [...]

Why I’m still not convinced its worth making an iPhone app, yet

Both Blue and Illusion have been talking about iPhone app development and saying I should give it a go. Today after watching Blues Hello World app, I figure that providing the app doesn’t get too complicated (which is the main idea behind cheap iPhone apps) and the fact theres a lot of code snippets of [...]

Second App

Okay, so I’m sitting here reviewing a milion and one apps and wondering where the gap in the market might be and it occurs to me there isn’t. I mean yeah, there is always something someone doesn’t have.  However if you make it, most likely that one person might be the only one who buys [...]

Quitting two of my apps?

Before I analyse what I’ve read in my quitting book in regard to my Ideaspad program, I won’t waste any time in quitting my MDBSecure program. I don’t get many downloads and the few emails I have had were from people asking why they couldn’t use MS Access 2007 instead of earlier versions as a [...]
