I haven’t seen a notice yet about this on FileMaker’s site, but I found FileMaker Go for iPhone and iPad in the iTunes store this morning. And what else do I do but test BaseElements 3 on it. First impressions are that it looks good. There are some font...

I’ve been wanting for ages to use something like MarsEdit to draft and upload content to this blog. Bits of it work well, but other bits either had me confused or didn’t quite work right. For example, I no longer have comments turned on for blog posts...

As of today we have a new payment processing engine on the website. We used to use a combination of Ubercart, Paypal and WorldPay before today. All of these have been fine and have worked well for their relative strengths. Ubercart is evolving quickly and has a good...
