Postcards from the Edge

It’s been a while since I updated Haemoncrules. The project is not dead yet but I have to make a confession. In my last great notebook crash, I had to reformat my notebook’s hard drive and reinstall Windoze. I did have a backup of the Haemoncrules raw programming files but it was not the most recent I am ashamed to admit. It was short of the latest module so I have been a little too lazy to reprogramme that (but I will get round to it).
Sometimes freeware authors need a little incentive you know. When I did make it “postcard-ware” after all these years, only Rob from California sent a postcard. Yes, that’s right ONE measly postcard was all I got. That is until CC sent me two. Thanks CC.

Sometimes I think we take freeware authors for granted. There are lots of PalmOS and Windows Mobile freeware out there. If you do find the application useful I think it’s nice that you let the author know.

  1. Maybe u might get more postcards from USA if Haemoncrules is ported to the iPhone platform? ;)

  2. Is freeware safe first of all? Just a Q :)

  3. I might consider porting it to the iPhone platform if anyone can pass an unused iPhone to me ;)

    Hope you’ll find the time to reprogram what you lost in your computer crash.
