Nice little milestone: Bingo Card Creator just crossed the 100th copy sold in February, for the first time. The previous record was 93 back in October.
It is also fast approaching a much more consequential milestone, but more on that later.
For the last month I’ve been testing a version of Bingo Card Creator compiled with Excelsior JET versus the standard Java one. Half of all Windows downloaders have gotten one, half got the other. I then have tallied when they confirm an installation (i.e. access my website through the application — for example by checking for updates or looking at the purchase page) and purchase the software.
Hideho everybody. Two years after getting the notion to do it, I have finally completed the move of my blog to my own server. The main reasons is to make me the captain of the blog’s destiny, as opposed to WordPress. (Non-poetic version: I want to manage my own plugins, themes, and general look for the site — particularly important as my business expands and I might use this for something other than just writing about BCC.)
