Bye Bye Aqua
That’s the new ‘Light Content Appearance’ style in Mavericks. I like it, but blue glowing buttons have a purpose and even those are missed by many people. In this case I really hope, I’m wrong and it will work for everyone … because – did I already mentioned that I like it?
Let’s also hope, they’ll fix the corners of the NSTextFields soon …
❤ ❤ ❤ Final Version ❤ ❤ ❤
It’s done!
Bill 1.0 is finally available. Thanks for all the help and feedback.
What is Bill?
Bill is an invoicing App! And an invoicing App only! Because the others ones with built-in client management, time tracker, and coffee maker are available by the dozen. If you’re looking for a versatile and simple application to easily create awesome looking invoices in a blink – Bill is your App! And it works for any business, for any language, and for you as well!
Who can use Bill?
Everyone with the need for a simple (in the positive meaning of the word), fast, uncluttered, easy to use and highly customizable invoicing application.
For which languages does Bill work?
For every one possible! Even though the GUI is currently in English (German is already in the works), Bill will work for every language. Yes, even for right to left languages. It even comes out of the box with a RTL template . You don’t have to customize a template in order to write/send/print invoices in your language. All you need to do is to provide words like ‘Invoice’ or ‘Due Date’ in your own language should Bill not support it right out of the box. That is done in less than a minute.
For which tax systems does Bill work?
For every one possible! Bill supports up to three taxes, two of them can even be compounded and it comes out of the box with templates for all tax systems. Since you can customize every little detail of such templates to your needs very easily, Bill works around the globe.
The Job of a Nobel Peace Prize Winner
Do I see this right – the moment you’ve some troubles at home you just quickly open another theatre of war far away? Let’s just all hope that it may actually really help Syria…
Office Mobile for Office 365 subscribers
What a stupid name. As rumored, MS did work on iOS companion Apps and they are now available for Office 365 subscribers.
So, why own your iOS Apps when you don’t even own your Mac or Windows Apps anymore…
The future of communication
You are a terrorist!
Or at least you could be one. Just by reading this site. You may not know it yet/yourself. But you have to trust your government. They actually don’t know what trust is – but hey. You don’t count anyway.
It’s not their fault. It’s not your fault. It’s a self-runner. And it’s too late.
But never, never, ever dare to say that no one could have known!
There’s a reason why you will never find anything on the internet, in a database, in a cloud, or wherever from me that I wouldn’t have written onto a postcard. Not a single thing.
We traded our privacy for porn, cat pictures, cheap flights, and games a long time ago. And there is no turning back. You know it and your government knows it. That war was lost with the rise of fast internet, cheap storage and online recipes.
There’s a much more important war going on. One you can actually see. Currently on the Gezi Yazısı in Istanbul. Or recently in Frankfurt or Dublin. Occupy is just one word, one movement. Different country, different name, different visibility. But those actions have one thing in common:
They exist, they happen in the real world. And hopefully they are just the tip of the iceberg. Because there is only one thing your government fears even more than your Tweets:
The moment you finally get up und move your lazy ass onto the streets.
PRISM and Vorratsdatenspeicherung and all the other things are cheap, invisible, and no suit has to get his/her hands dirty.
Tear-gas is not only visible – it’s expensive. During the ‘deployment’, and most importantly, afterwards. All those pictures on TV. There’s a reason why almost every government uses that much brutal force to put down mostly peaceful protests.
They are scared shitless!
And being frightened makes everyone paranoid and irrational. In order to keep our lazy asses in front of our computers and tablets, they should just stop PRISM and Co right now.
He who is allowed to tweet in peace does not feel the urge to leave the house.
Against this background there is only one logical next step for us to take:
Put your Mac to sleep, put on your Docs and start to communicate in the way it once was intended:
Communicate with real people. Communicate with real people on the streets!
It doesn’t hurt do this in groups within beautifully painted signs and lots of megaphones. The more the better.
Here’s the thing: They are so scared that it doesn’t need a million, it doesn’t even need a hundred thousand people. What it needs are real people without stupid masks and plastic swords.
Imagine what would happen if you showed up in a suit. If everyone showed up in a suit, a pants-suit or even just regular clothes. You can wear anything but black. And bring your own camera and leave your smartphone at home.
Remember the ‘Montagsdemonstrationen’ in Leipzig? The first demonstration had about 1,000 participants. One month later, there were 10,000 and only two months later 500,000. Four months later the GDR was no more.
Yes, this is over-simplified. But it is unbelievable how little is needed to make a change. But it takes more than 140 characters on the internet. Your government knows that.
Do you?
Bill can now send Notifications
Bill 0.9.4 is available!
I really wanted to tell you that Bill is iCloud-ready – but I had to undo it. This f•••••• iCloud is still too unreliable. As soon as Apple gets their shit together, I’ll try it again, which will probably be for the 123rd time.
So, the biggest news for this update is the fact that Bill can now send Notifications on demand and that I’ve improved the performance and search for large libraries…
