There’s only five issues left to deal with in order to get Milestones v1.1 functionally complete. After that comes final testing, and making sure that the installer works properly for both upgrades and new installations. Each of them appears to be no more than a few hours worth of work, but since we deal in…

Well, I spent more than my fair share of hours over the past week or so trying to get a domain name transferred into my name from someone else. It was registered at GoDaddy.com, and I’m more than certain that their prices are rock bottom for a reason. It all seemed to be going far…

The last time I looked at my AdWords campaign was last Thursday. I suppose I should probably keep better track of it while the impressions are flying fast and furious since I’m getting charged per click. To be honest, it’s all pretty confusing. I’ve noticed in my web site log files that some hits have…

For nearly the past two weeks, I’ve been alternating between two pretty major tasks. The first is the next release of Moon River Milestones. It’s pretty amazing that in just a few short months, I designed and implemented a product that people are already using, and finding to be quite useful. On one hand, it…

Well, so far the traffic from Google’s AdWords has been minimal, at best. Looking at their statistics shows two sets of numbers. The first is for the impressions that I’ve had via any number of syndicated sites. Those are the Google Ads that you see when you visit a website that generally isn’t making a…

Oh wait, that was last week. I’d claim insanity, but after the fifth or sixth time, people start to ignore you. The new Moon River Software web site is out, complete with a new logo. It looks 3.14159 times better than the old one. It’s easier on the eyes in every way, closes up a…

No, not this site. I’m talking about Moon River Software’s new web site. Building a new web site is pretty tedious, especially when you’re creating new marketing content to go with it. You have to make sure that you use your key words effectively and often enough, but not so often that search engines will…

It’s been 12 days since I was informed that UPS would make a detailed investigation that would be completed within the next 1-8 business days with the status of what happened to my server. Now, to be sure I found it more than a week ago. As a test, I decided to not bother calling…

No, I’m not talking about the Red Sox players heading from Boston to New York like the killer white rabbit has come to town. I’m talking about the strike by the New York City Transit Workers that just ended. I’m amazed at the short sightedness of just about everyone involved. I was a bit shocked…

I found out this morning what actually happened this past week with my server. It turns out that UPS did indeed have my correct address on my server. But it wasn’t that they misheard The UPS Store. It’s simply that they can’t read, and it was delivered next door. Since it was late at night,…
