Ryanware

Well, it’s another day and my typing has returned to normal. (see previous post)

Time Thingy 2.0 is getting close to being done. If anyone is interested in beta testing, please e-mail me at betatest at ryanware dot com.

As a side note, I’ve spent some time yesterday and today reading some of the articles over at Dexterity Software. I’ve learned a lot and am looking forward to reading the rest. If you do any shareware developing I highly recommend reading them. Actually, if you run any kind of business, do any marketing, or just need a productivity boost in what you do I suggest checking them out.

I’ve received quite a bit of feedback on Time Thingy lately. A lot of people really like it and have some good ideas for it.

All of my applications started from something I wanted. A lot of new feature ideas come from things I need or want. So since I don’t use Time Thingy anymore, I’m not really sure what other people need or want. So I’m completely open to ideas. Do you have any suggestions? Comments? Jokes?

So why did I name it “Time Thingy” anyway? The reason is a great one. Really. Okay okay… I just couldn’t think of anything better. Actually, I probably gave it that name thinking it would be temporary, but never thought of anything else so it stuck. I wrote it beacuse I had way too many programs running in the system tray and wanted to get rid of the Microsoft clock, but still have a clock visible somewhere. I didn’t think it would be as popular as it is. People use it in ways I never would have thought of. No, nobody uses it to time how many bags of cheetos they can eat in 34 minutes. At least not that I know of anyway. Do you?

By the way… Real Passwords 1.5 was released a few days ago. I’ve buried it’s announcement with more posts so I might as well add another shameless plug in for it!
