The Catch-up Post

It's been a while since I posted anything other than a Micro ISV Digest, so let's see if I can run through everything in one go and bring you up to speed.

My last post was about the posibility of having my house demolished. Since then, I haven't really learned much more about that, but I do know that it's not likely to happen for a couple of years yet, and that it's not a sure thing. Slight relief there.

You might have noticed the Micro ISV Spotlight post I tried on Codesnipers a week or two ago. I really like the concept, and we're hoping to do some exciting things with it in the not too distant future... stay tuned for that.

I had been posting regularly about the BBC's Dragon's Den show, and there were a couple of shows I saw, and wanted to write about, but just couldn't find the time. I just had so much going on. I'm visiting family in LA at the moment, so I can't see any of the BBC content online, or watch the latest episodes. I've spotted a few Dragon's Den themed posts on the Entrepreneurial blog of Burt, Dave and Oli, you might want to check that out if you're a fan.

I followed Patrick's lead and tried using Robosoft to submit my software to some download sites. I got over a hundred acceptance emails, and the Google results for Oriador Rota jumped by about 1000%, but so far I haven't noticed significant numbers of referals or more downloads. I need to start monitoring all this stuff more closely. Never the less, it's a simple process, and although it made me feel a bit dirty, it's probably had some kind of impact. Now I need to see about following Patrick's other lead and set aside some cash for a launch day Nintendo Wii.

That's about everything for now...
