Announcing Sales Bean

October 7th, 2009

Sales BeanWe’d like to announce the launch of Sales​bean.com, a custom sales sta­tis­tics track­ing system for indi­vid­ual sales­peo­ple to track & mea­sure their per­for­mance. We were approached ear­lier this year by Drew Thimme, with the idea for a simple, free and easy to use sales track­ing util­ity that offered a way to not only track the data that an indi­vid­ual enters, but to com­pare that with others in their indus­try or region.

Square­One part­nered with Michael Cantrell, one of our strate­gic part­ners, to deliver a cohe­sive prod­uct that is easy to use and deliv­ers all of the data track­ing needed by indi­vid­u­als in the sales world.

We’re really excited to see Sales Bean grow and are glad to have been part of the process of bring­ing it to the web. Drew is a great guy, and one of the best clients I’ve ever worked with. We wish him noth­ing but the great­est of suc­cess at Sales Bean.

You can check out the Sales Bean site at sales​bean.com – it’s free to join and use.

Snow Leopard Goodies

August 30th, 2009

A quick run­down of some of my favorite little things from Snow Leopard:

  • Seems slightly faster – maybe 10% faster for most operations
  • Min­i­mize to dock icon instead of to no-man’s land next to trash
  • Time Cap­sule can now back up hourly speed­ily. Used to have to use TimeMa­chi­neEd­i­tor and modify for every 4 hours to avoid con­stant backups
  • Time Machine backup mounted DMG isn’t generic icon anymore
  • Search now can search ‘current folder’ by default instead of the entire mac
  • Expose shows min­i­mized win­dows below main win­dows, smaller icons.
  • Expose, press­ing space­bar while moused over a window shows full size pre­view of window.
  • Column view allows you to sort by type, etc
  • More ani­ma­tions in finder when reorder­ing, etc. Every­thing seems smoother.
  • The much hyped stacks improve­ments. You can now nav­i­gate thru folders.
  • 4 finger swipe on older Mac­book Pros!

One of the Great Things About Downtime …

August 5th, 2009

Is that you can tweak your own per­sonal sites end­lessly when there is a gap between projects. Right now I’m wait­ing for approval on a few designs and on some final changes from another client, so it looks like today will be a ‘clean house’ sort of day. Lots of site tweaks, lots of client house­keep­ing, etc.

That’s a good thing, right?
