Small Business Services

You may have noticed that I've added a new "Software" section to the site. This section will be where I link some of my original contributions to the Open Source community. Several of these are already up on Google Code, others will probably be distributed through other means.

As with all software, these are all works in progress, with varying degrees of completeness and utility. Some are simple proofs of concepts, others are software that I use every day to run my business. I'll be adding these over the next few days as I create write-ups for them. Each write-up will specify the degree of completeness for the package, as well as technical specs like the languages and databases used.

If you're wondering why I would distribute unfinished software, it's because I hope that what I've done can be used as a starting point or reference for others.Maybe someone can take an idea from what I've done and use it in their own software. Maybe the code can be instructional to people unfamiliar with the technologies I used. Who knows? Maybe someone even looks at one of these and decides to pay me to add a feature they want, or they contribute back to me the work that they may have put into it.

That's the beauty of FOSS. Even incomplete or immature software has value.

So help yourselves, enjoy, feel free to make suggestions or send me your code changes. Let me know if you're interested in the continued development of any pieces of code you find here that may not be under active development. If I don't know where the interest lies, I can't put my work where it count the most.
