Useful or not?

August 30, 2010

As you may have noticed, I’ve been fairly quiet here of late. That’s changing, but as part of that change I need to know if continuing the weekly MicroISV Digest is of value to you. If it is, let me know, and please vote!

Snow in Sonoma?

December 7, 2009
Thumbnail image for Snow in Sonoma?

Woke up to a light sprinkling of snow here in Sonoma, CA – something that happens where I live about every three years. Took a quick pic as an MMS to text to various friends, got busy coding and testing a big batch of enhancements to my startup app. Keep coming back to coding after [...]

A very personal post…

April 22, 2009

(Please skip if you don’t know me…)

Dear friends,
It is with great sadness we need to let you know that yesterday we had to put Sake to sleep. After 22 years and ten months, he’d come to his time. He will always be in our hearts; please say a short prayer for him today.
-Bob, Tina, Sammy [...]

A nasty, nasty bug!

January 9, 2009

Just spent a couple of hours tracking down why readers of this blog using Internet Explorer were suddenly unable to access this site – and the culprit turned out to be my latest Firefox extension! Here’s the gory details for anyone with a WordPress blog and your readers start getting “Internet Explorer Cannot Open the [...]

He’s at it again.

January 2, 2009

I’ve started writing a new book for Apress: working title, The Startup Success Guide (SSG).
This is not Micro-ISV: From Vision to Reality (MIVR) 2.0. MIVR did and does a good job of covering what’s involved in moving from being somebody else’s developer to creating, marketing and making money as a self-funded microISV selling a desktop [...]

Moving Day.

November 2, 2008

I’m in the process of moving 47hats to a new web host: I can’t afford to wait for Alentus to resolve its problems. Initially I’d plan to move to wordpress.com but there were 3 catches:

The feed: While I can list any old feed I want as a link in the sidebar at wordpress.com, there’s no [...]

Clients making news.

July 21, 2008

One of the cool things about consulting with microISVs and startups is when your clients reach and pass important milestones on the road to success. Four of my clients (that have given me the okay to talk about them) have done just that:
Tim Sullivan – Spice, an innovative SaaS application for hiring managers launched last [...]

Deathmarch not over; but I’m back.

July 20, 2008

Faithful (and I know you’re faithful because you’re reading this even though it’s been six weeks since my last post) readers know I’m attempting a hat trick not unlike sticking your head in a lion’s mouth and getting it out again: write a new app for the microISV/startup community that will rock (Project X) in [...]

Admittedly completely off topic…

So why no posts, Bob?

April 16, 2008

My apologies. Between death-marching on Project X and various consulting engagements, my blog writing here has suffered. Never fear, I’ve been busy lining up more good guest posts on subjects near and dear to microISVer’s hearts.
Speaking of consulting, I have to say that the spiritual food that’s keeping me going (not to be confused with [...]

Some of the results from the first ebook.

March 31, 2008

It’s been about six weeks since I released my first ebook, “MicroISV Sites that Sell!” – and I’ve got some very good results to report. No, not the money I’ve made (although that’s been very nice, Thank You! ), but the results people are getting with this ebook. In two words: more sales.
First up, have [...]
