  Here’s What You Should Think

  I’ve imported all of the posts from my first blog (“Here’s What You Should Think”), which I started and ended in 2004. Most of them are related to Toby, a webmail client I wrote in college, and anyInventory, an open-source inventory system I was developing around the same time. Toby is no longer supported. I [...]

  anyInventory is still on the front page of SourceForge, and the Google tally for anyInventory results is up to 574.

  anyInventory News

  Some various news about anyInventory, an open source inventory application I’ve been working on: Version 1.5 was released today, with the addition of some of the label features promised in the documentation.

  anyInventory – Rising through the ranks

  anyInventory, an open source inventory system that I’m working on is progressing nicely. It was ranked in the 99.21 percentile for activity in SourceForge the other day, and version 1.4 was released to rave reviews (well, my own rave reviews, but that still counts). Some issues with invalid zip files were resolved by offering a [...]
