Dojo 1.1 Released

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

This is good news - I enjoyed using early versions of Dojo, and I had hoped they'd keep continuing to improve the product.  Looks like they have!

Dymo Label Printer for Zen Cart

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

It's no secret that I'm crazy about my Dymo. I finally figured out how to get other apps - namely a browser running Zen Cart - to talk to it. It's Win/IE only at this point but I'll add browsers and platforms as I figure them out. ...

Five signs your CRM is failing

Shreddin’ my life away

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

Saturday, January 19th, 2008

Well, I think I just cut the last chain that bound me to Windows. I used this tip to move my address book from Outlook to Mac Address Book. And of course, since I wanted to use my Dymo 400, I downloaded the Dymo Drivers for Mac, which worked like ...

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

So I decided that it was about time I moved beyond my hokey "spreadsheet-based" accounting and did something more professional. First stop: Intuit. I've been a Quicken user for 12 or 13 years now, I guess, and it does the job - but it certainly does have its ...
