It’s been some time, again, since the last time I wrote on my own blog 
I got an awesome new job at BlueMile Networks. I’m still a PHP Developer working on their back-end billing systems and such. To put it short: IT’S FUN! I love the place, I love the people and finally, after a very long period, I’m actually having fun working.
iBetaTest.com on the other hand suffered from some neglegence. I didn’t have much time lately to take care of it and push the latest updates, but I’m slowly getting back on track with that as well. Everyone who’s used it — loved it. It’s definitely an awesome service, and with over 50+ cool new features which I plan on pushing very soon - it’s only going to get better.
On the other front - Sali is finally done with school! My baby is now a licensed Dental Hygienist! In the next few weeks she’ll be looking for a job and when the double income starts to kick in, I think we’ll all be able to kick back and relax a bit
Oh, her grandparents are coming this week from Russia, for good! That should be quite fun.
As on the Gadgets/WebDev dept:
- My main phone is now a BlackBerry Bold 9000 (AT&T)
- My iPhone 3G just got JailBroken (and soon unlocked) and I use it as an iPod only
- I moved onto Windows 7 RC on my Windows PC (see Toys), runs AWESOME!
- I moved onto Mac OS X Snow Leopard Beta (WWDC Build) on my MacBook Pro
- I completely moved all my Web Development to MAC!
- I use Coda for PHP and all Dev related tasks, and Versions for SVN repository connection
That about summarizes it . Until next time then… Take care!
This whole week I’ve been busy with iBetaTest.com launch.
It finally happened and for now everything went according to plan. I must admit, a bit better than according to plan 
.
In just 5 days I got over 1600 registered beta testers, over 60 developers (about 15 apps in the system, 4 of which are public), and every day the unique visitors count grows exponentially! Today, I had over 3000 unique visitors.
I am also very happy to see some GREAT reviews of iBetaTest.com throughout the World. I read about it in Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, Dutch, Check and English - and all these reviews seem to really praise the system.
Couple of ours ago I also published a Web Forum, so users have a place to chat while developers populate the system with apps.
Sincerely, I’m quite happy. My Workaholic New Year’s resolution seems to be working just fine .
I’ll write here when I get another chance. Can’t make any promises. There’s ClickaPost.com to be taken care of, updates for iBetaTest.com as well as the new iBetaTest.com Blog
All right,
That’s about it form me for tonight. Time to shower and go to bed, for the first time in weeks, before 4am!

Gucci bag, originally priced as a very nice brand new car, now on a super sale in the amount of a brand new small car… Makes me wonder…
Sincerely, there’s no excuse for not getting this right now:

Isn’t it amazing? 25 years ago (1983) on this very day, Microsoft Announced Windows 1.0. What an amazing advance in both software, hardware and technology as a whole in just a quarter of a century. It wasn’t yet available for sale (not until 1985), but as you can see -not many things change. We’re still waiting for Windows 7 .
What’s even more amazing is the amount of accumulated wealth for Bill Gates (and anyone who was smart to invest into this “new thing” 25 years ago).
Windows, here’s to you and to 25 more. Hopefully, Windows 7.0 comes out glorious next year, and Windows 14 on your 50th birthday .
