Paper Boy (Project Dimes)

by Stu Andrews on May 29, 2008

in Blog

Here’s an idea.

  1. A little system tray program that retrieves contextual information. There could be many different paper boys, or chuck all functionality into one.
  2. Used for tracking Real Estate Properties, both Rental and Sales.
  3. Used for tracking Blogs, real-time alerts when someone updates their blog.

Notes:

Couldn’t possibly be any good trying to mash together everything. Needs clarity.

The Real Estate one is good. People can use this little satellite app to store and search for the Property types they are looking for.

The app will store all results, in some way.

When I’m Older ..

May 22, 2008

.. I want to be content. "There’s an old man sitting next to me, Making love to his tonic and gin." There’s a boatload of dreams in my head. Visions of what could be. Great and powerful deeds, fame and fortune. But if I get to an age where I’m pretty much "old", then I’d [...]

School Homework Server (Project Dimes)

May 22, 2008

Here’s an idea. A school could set up the server, and students can log in, submit their work, and actually do research etc. More, they could create timelines, add their own "wikis", put together the tagging system for projects. In building Research for a History assignment, there could be a school-wide tag-cloud-relationship system that can [...]

Clarion Folk Comments, Intense Debate

May 19, 2008

For a few weeks now Clarion Folk has been using a new Comment web service, Intense Debate (This review for the WordPress flavour, as that’s what I use). It’s good. That’s my kudos meter-reading at the moment. There is a lot to like. They take care of comments, they give you stats, they’ve got plugins [...]

Time Management (Project Dimes)

May 15, 2008

Here’s an idea. It’s based around a Time (and Project) Management understanding. Not your normal management system. The main point of this web server is to get people to actually note down what they have done for the day. It will monitor the times they have logged in. It will send reminders out at set [...]

Clarion Sharper By The Minute, Linq Support

May 8, 2008

I’m never sure what to do when Bob Z drops a bit of info in to me. Whether to blog it, hit the newsgroups, jump on skype. See, I get a little nervous. Why? Because I can hear the cries of angst and trouble. "Why aren’t they concentrating on bugs?" "When is the AppGen done?" [...]
