Almost there ...

Wow, I've had a productive weekend and achieved a major milestone in the development of my new app. I need to add one more piece of functionality, then optimise the code and package it. I've had a quick look at online software  sales sites, and estimate that my after tax earnings could be $US4:50 per unit. The market I'm aiming at, with no direct competitors, has approximately 59 million users (can you guess where I'm aiming?). If even 1% buy the app I'll be set..

Progress

Well, just a quick post. I've worked way too late for it to be healthy, but I've managed to finish the part of my new project that extracts data (that's not meant to be extracted) and format it into XML. Next up is doing something with it.

Not sure how I'm going to survive on 5 hours a night sleep ... but I only have to do it for maybe a week and I should be done.

Trundling along

Well, my business partner has puled out of our venture, MLTA, because he has other commitments. Fair enough, but now MLTA will sit idle because I don't have time for the leg work required to get local take-aways on board.

I've finished a DVD of our daughter full of almost 2 hrs of video and a bunch of photos in a slide show. Man, it took a long time. I guess I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to arty type things, like video and music, so I didn't just throw something together, but it still isn't as polished as I'd like because I just had to wrap it up and get it sent out to my wife's Dad in Canada.

I'm back at RealJob now, so project time is limited. I'm working on a piece of software that is too top secret to talk about here. Once it's done and distributed I'll post details.

Step one of promoting Friends by Chance has failed ... my friends either can't be bothered to sign up, or just don't have the time. Oh well.
