• SmartBiller Development

  I'm working hard to bring you a PDA (Windows Mobile) version of SmartBiller and the next version of desktop SmartBiller.

  Here's what's coming:

  • PDA version
  • Synchronization API
  • Synchronization Server and Cost Center
  • Data import (to load clients, project and categories)
  • Extra fields for entries
  • Bug fixes

  We are expecting to have the next version ready in December 2009. Watch this space.

• GO Contact Sync Proxy Support

  This morning i have received an email from Craig who has suggested a very simple solution to enable proxy in GO Contact Sync. The trick is to created a config file GOContactSync.exe.config in installation directory and put this content in:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
  <configuration>
    <system.net>
      <defaultProxy enabled="true" 
                    useDefaultCredentials="true">
        <proxy bypassonlocal="true" 
               proxyaddress="http://proxy:80/" />
      </defaultProxy>
    </system.net>
  </configuration>

  Then replace "http://proxy:80/" with your proxy address. That's it.

  Thanks, Craig!

• SmartBiller

  I'm happy to announce a release of SmartBiller - a time tracking tool for consultants. It's implemented as an application which sits in the system tray and you just double-click its icon to start a timer.

  There are 2 flavours available: Free and Professional. Professional edition comes with Plugin API so you can extend the application and integrate it with other systems. Free edition naturally has some limitations - namely number of timers you can run simultaneously, number of clients, projects and tasks. There's no time limit though. See feature comparison table.

  Give it at try and see how you spend your day at work or on your own projects.
