I moved houses two weeks ago and I am at the end of my beta program, so I am hoping to get more time for this blog over the next couple of months. While I cant say the last couple of months have been interesting, I have learnt how much work is involved in taking a working "engine" into a finished product. Doing the documentation, UI, websites, e-comm, support systems, protection etc etc has taken me at least twice as long as I estimated ... and that estimate had already been doubled.

My bit intake has been well down ... I have not read any blogs or many newsgroups for months. I did join the Association of Shareware Professionals and I have been reading their private newsgroups. These newsgroups have been a valuable source of information for me, the discussions are high quality, and have helped greatly in setting up the marketing/e-comm side of my program. Well worth the $100 joining fee.
