I got my first real inquiry for my crm software application today.
A guy from South Africa inquired about purchasing 11 licencses.
I've had a couple of emails and I also took a phone call from a bloke in Adelaide (South Australia) the other day.
But this one got me excited. Maybe something to do with the fact that it was an international inquiry.
It's a nice feeling!
Now, I've been around long enough to know that nothing will probably come of this but, the point is, it shows me that there is a real possibility that I can make some money out of this. Which is the whole point right.
Beta 1 is about 6 weeks off so the South African guy won't wait that long I would assume. I guess we'll see.
I'm thinking about making my product (another chance for a link CRM Software) free to any .Net developer who wants a copy and who is not a competitor of course.
Do you have any thoughts on that?

I had the domain clarkescott.com for years now but, when I started to blog Nov 2003 see my first blog post
I just signed up here and Donny Mack was a big help! Thank Donny.
Last night I installed the dasBlog engine on my web site last night. So I'm “on the move”. www.clarkescott.com
I think I'II cross-post for awhile or at least provide a link to the post.
Now to tell Frank
I perhaps a month ago I had created a drop shadow on a form but, I had forgotten how to do it and google was not bringing anything useful back.
In steps David Kean with an even better solution then the one I had http://davidkean.net/archive/2004/09/13/151.aspx
Thanks David
DotNet Rocks "The Movie" got my copy!
Get it here https://www.franklins.net/secure/catalog.asp
For the sake of balance, here is what I love about VS.Net 2005 and .Net 2.0
1: Partial classes, man this beautiful!
The fact that we can now seperate a classes into mutliple files rocks.
2: The little yellow lines that show you where a method starts and finishes.
3: Win Forms Strip controls. Menu strip, ToolbarStrip and the StatusStrip all come with renders and you can also built your own.
This means we can now build Win Forms skins easily.
4: Code Refactoring. “Encapsulate Field“ I love it.
5: Right click on a file tab “Close all windows except for this“. Now this may seem like a little feature but I'd like to meet the person who made this happen.
6: Document Outline. The document outline gives you a hierarchical view of your form. From here you can chnage the z order of controls on your form. I'd like to be able to double-click a control from within the Document Outline and have it take you to the properties of the control.
Hi All,
Good cheap web hosting in Australia is hard to came by.
If you’re an Australian MCP, MCAD etc you might want to check out what www.ico.com.au has to offer.
For $15 per month you get 20MB web space, SQL Server and more.
I just recently joined up myself and they seem to be great guys, very friendly!
Cheers
Clarke
So I had this idea trying to get to speak last night!
The idea is pretty simple.
Each year in Australian, like most countries we have TechED.
So the idea is we get the powers to be to invite Carl and Rory from DotNet Rocks to speak at TechED 2005.
Is that it you say? No.
Now, I know the first movie is not even released yet but, I believe there is plans for another movie. Cool!
So why not film while they are here in Australia and call it “DotNet Rocks The Movie Down Under”.
Or perhaps “Down Under DotNet Rocks“ (that sounds funnier in my head I think).
What do you think?

THE Commonwealth Bank's $100 million customer relationship management system has passed the first of a series of scalability tests at Microsoft's headquarters.
The CBA is banking on the in-house-developed (CRM) system, CommSee, to transform its customer-facing environment. Built on Microsoft's .NET architecture, CommSee will give the bank a single view of customer data and their interactions with the bank.
It will replace all customer-facing technology in the bank's 1000 branches and its call centres.
Scalability testing at Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond found the technology was capable of handling the transaction processing requirements of a user base of about 30,000 people, said Ciaran McMullan, executive general manager of communication, coordination and risk management for CommSee.
The intended number of users of CommSee is about 21,000 people.
"We tested a variety of scaled up scenarios based on transaction volumes being handled in our Tasmanian pilot," Mr McMullan said.
CommSee has been piloted in 43 branches in Tasmania, where it covered about 250,000 customers.
"Our approach is that scalability testing won't be carried out just once, but regularly throughout the life of the program, particularly as we add new functionality," he said.
CBA expects about 40 per cent of customer service staff to be using CommSee by next June. | |

I lost about a weeks work last week!
Becuase of this I have become more interested in back ups.
So, does anyone know of a good backUP utility.
Don't tell me the backUp util that windows offers is a good util and I dont want to use VSS!
I would like something that will back up file as a save them.
Note to self : if no one responses. Do it yourself and dont tell any bastard about it (only joking....or are you![ -- sinister laugh -- ])
