A lot of us get those emails from amazon.com, like the one this morning, "Introducing AWS Marketplace -- Find and Buy Software that Runs on the AWS Cloud". This is great, but I have a friend who likes reading about these but doesn't want to launch servers. Is there some way people can subscribe to the Amazon AWS mailing list without creating an AWS account?
I guess RSS is the best option. Even if you don't have to launch servers I still believe you need to confirm your phone number and some other things. I'm just looking for a way to share news with friends without having to forward the e-mails every time.
Good news: It's in the app store, works with Lion (10.7), lots of new features and support for GNTP
Bad news: It's in the app store (for $1.99), you MUST have Lion to use it.
I'm not sure how temporary this is. If I were releasing a desktop app that used Growl, I'd be rolling my own replacement right now ;(
It's easy enough functionality, when you're only supporting one app, and I don't want functionality for my-users to depend on a paid app they may not have.
Adium was a big driver for Growl adoption. It'll be interesting to see what they do.
That's exactly what I use it for. On big projects I use github and tower. But on smaller projects or for just general diffing things in the dropbox this is pretty amazing.
Just for good measure: If you don't want to install an extension to inspect another extension all chrome extensions are just zip files so if you download the extension you can just unzip and see the contents.
verbal contract, and then the first invoice, which they paid, included a list of items that were to be completed with the website project. no terms as far as payment due date tho. i think maybe payment of the first invoice with the items listed could count as acceptance of a contract in some places... you're probably right as far as moving on. it is fairly easy to turn off the website though - not sure if that is a ethical thing to do. of course not paying for work is also not that ethical.
Collecting on bad debt is difficult and time consuming. For the amounts you've mentioned, you can move on and make it up quickly enough as gp stated. If they don't want the work you've done, offer them a 30 day transition period so you both can move on. I would suggest you attach some form of payment to that, but it might just be better to give them control of their domains w/o your work product and call it a day. Next time, get proper contracts in place. Recognize that even with a proper contract, it would still be difficult to collect. Time & Effort vs. Reward.
thanks! that's very helpful! seems like lots of people have the same complain, and on several occasions google is actually reviewing and approving the request. i hope they will look into ours.
