iPad… iPhone… FileMaker… I make that Pimms o’clock!

July 20th, 2010

So it’s here. At last! FileMaker Pro has hit the various iThings! We’ve been looking forward to this for sometime now and we’ve finally got our hands on a copy of FileMaker Go. In typical fashion we’ve also already started developing on it for a client as well as the guys in the office playing with it for themselves!

So… I actually have to write stuff then?….

May 17th, 2010

I’ll be honest. I’m not that good at this blogging thing. For two reasons mainly – first, I’m just not that good a writer. And second, I don’t seem to have any free time… Ever…

I don’t like change!!!!

March 1st, 2010

As a rule, a lot of people don’t like change. They get comfortable with the way things are and don’t want it to change. That’s ok. I understand that, I’ve been guilty of that feeling more than once. You get your life how you like it and don’t want anything to shake the delicate balance you’ve built up.

FileMaker 10 Certified!

June 1st, 2009

A quick, and if we’re honest, slightly ego based one today.

Now, anyone involved in the FileMaker community will be aware that a few months back FileMaker 10 was released. Well, today we received conformation that our development director, Paul de Halle, has become one of the first developers in the UK to be FileMaker 10 Certified. And, to be honest, we’re all rather proud!

What are you waiting for???

May 7th, 2009

Just do it!

You know, as I write this now, things are good. I feel very satisfied with myself. You see, I had a number of things I needed to do this week. A mixture of urgent, important and the ones that I couldn’t be bothered to do and had been putting off for as long as possible. We all have them! So, I decided to get my head down and not look up until I had crossed one thing off from each category. Seemed simple enough.

Twitter you say?

April 30th, 2009

I know what you’re thinking…. He’s done this one…. and it was boring then as well! But fear ye not – while I am going to talk a bit about twitter – while shamelessly plugging my own twitter.… – there is actually a point to this as well.

Business networking events – any good?

April 16th, 2009

Just a short one today.

I’ve just come out of a meeting and one of the things which came up was Business networking – more specifically the networking meetings you always see the email ads for. The main point of the conversation was, do they actually work?

Woopra or Google Analytics?

April 9th, 2009

I’ve just recently had a couple of my sites, the Linear Blue main site and this blog, accepted by Woopra. For those that don’t know it’s basically along the lines of Google Analytics, with one main difference – the added ability to track users in real time.

Over the last few weeks I’ve often blogged and twittered about the upcoming launch of the new Linear Blue website. Well, it’s now live. As of Wednesday morning we have our new website. We launched on April the first, not for the comedy value, but as it is the ninth birthday of Linear Blue.
