Steadily cranking away at WebnoteHappy, the full featured shareware version. I’m nearing feature completion, which is a good thing. Starting to put additional features on the post-1.0 queue. Not making as much progress as when I was doing The Life full-time, but still making steady daily progress. Kaizen.

So in a week and a half, I’ll be at EclipseCon to improve the skills that make me valuable in the Enterprise Java corporate sphere. The initial keynote speaker at EclipseCon will be none other than Joel Spolsky, who is a very popular Indie. You may know him by his blog, Joel on Software. He’s written a lot of useful articles on running a software company. I laughed and cried when I read what he said in the intro to the MicroISV book:

“I have a crystal ball and can now tell you the one fact you need to know more than anything else: exactly how much money you’re going to make during the first month after your product goes live.
Ready?
OK.
In the first month, you are going to make…
about…
$364, if you do everything right.”

Anyways, as a public service, I’m going to try to corner Joel and ask him a few questions on behalf of macsb and all the Mac Indies that read this blog. So if you’ve got any questions, let me know in the comments or send me email.
