Working Hard

I have too much work at the moment and just don't have time to post, I won't post anything for another week or so, but I promise I'll post some interesting posts then, not just products updates.

What's Next?

Now that yaTimer 1.1.0 was released what am I going to do next? Work on yaTimer 1.2.0 of course. I have a short list of feature requests that didn't make it into the 1.1.0 release, I hope to have them all in 1.2.0 (version 1.2.0 will be a free update for all current customers, if you buy 1.1.0 now you still get all the new features). If you have a suggestion for a new feature for the next version of yaTimer please contact me. ...

yaTimer 1.1.0 Released

I’ve just uploaded the new setup program and update package to the website, the next time you run yaTimer while connected to the internet it will ask for permission to update itself.

yaTimer 1.1.0 Release Date

The next version of yaTimer – version 1.1.0 – is finally done, I’ve just finished preparing the setup program and the auto-update package. Tomorrow I’m going to release the version to my very capable testers, this is going to be a very intensive day of testing on different computers, if they don’t find any show-stopping bug then yaTimer 1.1.0 will be released sometime over the weekend. The first time you run yaTimer after I publish the auto-update package it will tell you there is an update available and offer to update itself.

Strangest AdWords Day Ever

Yesterday for most of the day no one clicked on my AdWords Ads, not even a single click. At the evening things returned to normal and the day's CTR is 0.35% (a normal day is around 1%). I have no idea what just happened, today it looks like everything returned to normal (but I can't be sure – the day isn't over yet). If anyone has an explanation, please leave a comment.

yaTimer 1.1.0 New Feature: Rearrange Tasks

disclaimer: this post is about unreleased software, everything here can be changed until the final version. This new feature is only in version 1.1.0 that is not available yet (but will be released soon), the latest version is 1.0.1 and can be downloaded from the yaTimer download page. Version 1.1.0 will be a free (and automatic) update for everyone. UPDATE: yaTimer 1.1 was released and it includes this feature.

The next version of yaTimer

I have been spending a big part of my time working on the web-site and the AdWords campaign – but I'm still working on the next version of yaTimer, it's just taking a little bit longer then I would like. yaTimer is still very much under active development and I'll blog about some of the new features over the next few days.

AdWords Update

The day I published my 3 Adwords tips blog post was a really bad adwords day, I had a lot od clicks and maxed-out my daily budget - but no downloads at all. I guess its some sort of a karma thing.
