Loving MacJournal from Mariner Software

I am loving MacJournal from Mariner Software . This is a great notebook and journal keeping software which has built in capability to post directly to my Blog. I am posting this from my journal rather than going to a website and navigating to the correct page and pushing the correct series of buttons. It makes Blogging an order of magnitude more simple in my humbe opinion.

The same company also markets a great low cost word processor called Mariner Write and a spreadsheet called Mariner Calc. Their software has a Lifetime upgrade plan so you don't have to keep paying for the upgrades and these programs can replace their Microsoft alternatives at much lower cost. They may not have all the features of the Microsoft alternatives, but the result is that they are not as confusing to operate for those with modest needs and budgets.

Check them out.

Cheers,
Joel

Looking Forward to Getting in Shape

With the return of good weather to New England I am looking forward to getting into better physical shape. I took my long neglected mountain bike into the bike shop for repairs and tune up and discovered that I could replace it rather than repair it for about twice the cost of the repairs and end up with a much better bike. So I am ready to hit the road pedaling as soon as it stops raining.

Who knows, I may be able to rejuvenate some of these old muscles enough that I can do some more serious hiking this summer.

Have a great day!

Test Posting by Email

Did you know you can post a blog article by sending an email to your secret
blogger address?

This is really cool if it works.

Have a great day.

Saving The World With FileMaker

I am still extremely busy upgrading my favorite client > from FileMaker 6 to FileMaker 7. They are the kind of client am focusing on. My efforts in some small part aid the more than 1000 teams of highschool kids (perhaps 20,000 kids) to gain an interest and have some fun with science and technology by building a robot and playing games with other robots from other teams.

Although the title of this Blog is overly ambitious I am seeking future clients whose work will leverage my productivity to help thousands or more people rather than the typical small business client where creating a system helps their small company and small customer base.

Does that sound like too much to ask?
