Yeah, I didn’t get any, but that’s okay. Here’s the scoop:

TimeNet 3.9.12 – released

• Released new Full Info and Minimal Info templates that don’t freeze TimeNet (you may need to delete your invoice templates and re-launch TimeNet to restore the new versions)
• Released a new version of the Professional template that shows how to use the tag
• Fixed bug where the Quick Charge notes tag would appear in the invoice if you selected not to show notes

For more information about the Invoice Template bug (and how to restore your templates), go to the topic in our support boards that talks about restoring Invoice Templates (http://www.applesource.biz/supportboard-new/index.php?topic=590.0)

TimeNet Law 1.5.1 – released

• Refined interface (icon/toolbars)
• Improved auto-save notification
• Cleaned interface a bit
• Payment Notes bug fix

Master of my Domain – delayed briefly

MOMD 1.6 is still scheduled for release today, but it will have to wait until later this evening/night. I’ve got an all-day meeting in Eugene and won’t be back until late afternoon, and I’ve already been up all night trying to get it ready to go and it’s just not quite there. It’s close though!

PORTLAND, OR – September 4th, 2007 – AppleSource has released a Universal Binary build of its free application BusyBee. BusyBee is a wildly popular program that makes your Mac look like it’s in the middle of  a processor- and time-intensive task. With complete customizability and control, you can make BusyBee look like it’s doing something pertinent to anything you do daily in your work. Also great for locking the computer into a “busy loop” to so you can walk away and keep pesky snoops and MySpace-addicts from taking over your workstation.

BusyBee is completely free! Please note that this software is for entertainment purposes only! You can only fool your boss so many times before you will get caught! Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Features

• Realistic  status window
• Completely customizable
• Save your configurations
• Download dozens from our public Configuration Library and submit your own!

Okay. Well, no screenshots just yet. I’ve decided to keep them on the hush for just a little while longer. But, I will let the cat out of the bag a little bit. AppleSource is partnering with a design and marketing group. What does this mean?Complete Rebranding

• New toolbar icons
• New stand alone icons
• New logos – New manual

Website Enhancements

• Better video tutorials
• A new marketing strategy
• Quicker access to information and help
• Things that make you say, “Oh, WOW! That’s cool!”

In addition to the new visual enhancements of TimeNet and the TimeNet website, rapid-fire marketing strategies will be put into place for quicker development, boosted revenue (more SALES, more $$$), which means higher company moral, possibility for hiring on more developers, and an all-around better experience for all TimeNet users.These agreements and strategies are still being drawn up, but check back often for updates as they become available. We will soon introduce you to the guys who will make TimeNet the next breakthrough application for MacOS X. Sneak peaks, screenshots, and marketing leaks to follow.  

 Hope your weekend was great!

Partial Payments. Color coating. Advanced taxes. Better rounding. Fantastic new templates. Still want more? How about better integration with Address Book? And iCal syncing? It’s all here. Plus, we’re adding a plugin architecture for syncing (laptop at home, computer at the office? Keep all timeslips current easily). Now if I could just get my hands on an iPhone… it’s a business expense, right? How about a Widget that runs a quick and slick timer that syncs to any project in your TimeNet library as soon as you bring that brand new iPhone back to a cradle?

Anyway, the move to Portland has been great. I’ve been networking with lots of very talented people, and getting nothing but wonderful and encouraging feedback. Yes, 4.0 should’ve been released by now. But the polishing stages are taking longer than expected, not to mention every day is slammed with things like furniture shopping, meetings with creative professionals and law firms (we wanna know first hand what YOU want in this software, after all it’s not for us: it’s for you!).

Along with the launch of TimeNet 4 you can expect to see some fantastic video tutorials, a constant (but not drastic or all-at-once) improvement of the interface, and some great new ideas that will make TimeNet that much easier to use, cooler to own, and more fun to show off!

WHEN?
I’m giving myself a deadline to have 4.0 out in your hands in October. The reason for the delay is worth it, I promise. We’re partnering with a visual arts and marketing group that is gonna make TimeNet a whole lot better then previously planned.

It’s gonna be a great Fall!

Well, duh! I guess you already knew that. The point is our new shirts turned out really good!  

 We’ll offer these in the AppleSource Swag store, which will be opening soon (pending a better male model, of course).
