When you’re submitting to download sites, you can’t take much time except of a few good ones like Softpedia and CNET. Most you just need to get done and ignore any problems. Many won’t list you at all, while other will list you months down the road. And there are so many of them, that… Continue reading Download Site Problems

Disappointed in NOD32
Security is an important issue, but at some point you need to just stop trying to defend against imaginary foes. I’m disappointed in ESET NOD32 as it is giving a false positive for OpenCandy as spyware. I’ve looked into OpenCandy extensively. VERY extensively. I’ve examined the SDK. I’ve examined OpenCandy installers. I’ve not only spoken… Continue reading Disappointed in NOD32
Turbo-Charging Robosoft with DynamicPAD (Part 2)

In here I’m going to outline solution and go through the first steps to solving the problem in detail.

Rob Zombie Pics at Melbourne Soundwave
So, I’m finally getting around to posting some pics of Rob Zombie that I took at Melbourne Soundwave. Slayer I had to post immediately, but I wanted to save a few pictures to post once I made Super Simple public. I’ve taken an entire less than a minute to resize a bunch of photos with… Continue reading Rob Zombie Pics at Melbourne Soundwave
Pre-Launch for Super Simple
I’m inviting a few people to a pre-launch viewing of Super Simple and Photo Resizer. Everything is working and ready to go. Of course I will be updating things as normal, and there are a few things that I still want to change or tweak. But overall, it’s looking good. I suppose that there are… Continue reading Pre-Launch for Super Simple
Writing PAD Content is Off-site SEO
If you are writing in PADGen, you need to stop, unless you are an extremely talented writer, in which case you’d probably know better anyways. That goes for all the program descriptions, press release, and other “copy”. Things like download URLs are trivial, so just enter that into PADGen normally. The most important fields when… Continue reading Writing PAD Content is Off-site SEO
Getting Feedback from Experts
The new site is near ready, so it was time to seek advice from some friends that are experts. I asked Nick Bradbury to help out and he got back to me with some excellent feedback. While I can’t immediately do everything on his list of things to improve, I’ve done some and the difference… Continue reading Getting Feedback from Experts
Using Robosoft from Ground Zero
I’m about to launch a new site. It’s almost ready and I’m just basically waiting for some feedback from a few trusted friends that are knowledgeable in the field. (Heck, they’re flat out top guns.) The site has zero traffic right now. None. Nadda. And as such, it has zero downloads and zero position in… Continue reading Using Robosoft from Ground Zero
Excercising Restraint to do that 20%
A friend of mine, Nick Longo, has an 80/20 rule. Get 80% done and release, then get that 20% done later. It’s hard to follow. It’s incredibly hard sometimes to exercise restraint in development. Yet again I have something I’d like to solve and I’ve thought of a wonderful way to solve the problem in… Continue reading Excercising Restraint to do that 20%
