January 31, 2014. Software Support is Hard. If you build and sell software then there is no escaping the need to support your product. Even open source software that is built for free with no expectations of use creates an overhead of issues and support. Dealing with users and their issues has been something I have been grappling with ever since I released my first free WordPress plugin. Back in 2012 and it has been a love/hate relationship ever since. A Good Workman is Helped by His Tools. As a ticketin...

My biggest and most successful premium WordPress plugin Instagrate Pro. Has continued to sell and has gone from strength to strength with a recent update to the licenses.

Better Time Management via @iainpoulson
http://iain.polevaultweb.com/2014/06/better-time-management
June 3, 2014. Since I made the jump to full time freelancing at the start of 2013 I have had to become more aware of how I manage my time. My first piece of regular work was for Dev7studios. Working from home as Gilbert is based in the north of Scotland. Working remotely for someone you have only ever chatted to on Skype comes with the underlying need for honesty around hours tracked and billed. I had recently moved my accounting online with FreeAgent. For Mac from Rareloop. How do you manage your time?

March 30, 2014. Setting up My Raspberry Pi as a Print Server with AirPrint Support. Last year I came across this video showing a Raspberry Pi. Hooked up to a barcode scanner in an ingenious setup that automated the creation of shopping lists on Trello. As Christmas was coming up and family were searching for presents to get me, I thought it was the perfect time to get a Pi and some extra kit for it. Here’s what Santa got me:. Raspberry Pi Model B. Micro USB Power Supply. SanDisk 4GB SD Card. When the Pi ...
