The Recursive ISV

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

First feedback for RC 1 showed a few issues - lucky I was there in person to handle them.  Mostly installer problems that I’ve addressed now.  So the first of my “circle” of folks who actually get to download and test without me being there were notified tonight.

Now one of the worst parts of all.  Waiting for show stoppers. 

I learned a great deal today about a company offering a unique and extremely interesting licensing system for software developers.  I’m going to blog about that more when I have more details, but chatting this afternoon on the phone to Jan from ByteShield has me intrigued - indeed extremely impressed!  So stay tuned next week and I’ll let you know what I find out.  I’m getting a demo of the system on Monday and am looking forward to seeing how it all goes together.  Note that this is server side technology primarily and is not an exe wrapper or anything like that.  That they are partnered with my favorite e-Commerce people FastSpring makes if very attractive indeed.

Still done pretty much zero work on the website.  Now RC 1 is out I’m hoping I can attend to that next week, tomorrow being Saturday and my “day off” with the family.

I’m also going to do something really odd.  If MixAction goes to release before July 21st 2008 I’m going to do another 30 Day sprint for Mixerlicious starting - all things being equal - August 1st 2008.  So I’ll do another 30 Days of blogging on progress, while also handling any “issues” with MixAction and ironing out some of the marketing stuff related to that.

The actual product name Mixerlicious have been switched to another type of product all together, still building up to a much larger B2B only application, but the latter will be marketed under a different name.

So if you’re in anyway interested in comparing the first “30 Day” product (that took longer than 30 Days for sure) with a second back to back then you might want to follow along.

I have a reason for dong this - apart from insanity - I have another political campaign to fight in November and simply won’t have the time after September to work flat out like a lizard drinking coding.  Plus.  I learnt so much from the June 30 Day exercise I’m bursting my britches to implement some of those lessons.

Anyway - have a great weekend, it’s summer in the Northern Hemisphere - but here in the Southern it’s cold and icy (OK, frosty, no real ice in Melbourne - we don’t do snow to often and when it does it’s kind of like icing sugar unless you are on one of our few tall mountains).
