In San Francisco June 8 - 19 for WWDC
In just nine days I’ll be moving back to the States after living in Europe for four years. Hardly ready but all manner of excited.
Part of that move is a trip to San Francisco for Apple’s WWDC. I attended the conference last year and had a blast. Not only did I fall in love with San Francisco, I was introduced to a number of Apple technologies and had the chance to speak one on one with Apple engineers and representatives. The experience definitely benefited me, and I’m expecting the same this time around.
Will you be at WWDC this year? Do you live in the Bay Area? Let’s get in touch. I’m keen to meet up with other developers and I love meeting Journler users. If you’re around definitely shoot me an email (contact info).

Hi Phil,
Sorry to be Off-topic here. Just to double check, will i get a license code from you after a donation is made? Have emailed you on Sunday.
Thanks

True, off topic but let’s let it post.
Don’t worry, I didn’t miss the donation. I do everything by hand and I do it in batch jobs, so it can take up to 72 hours. Often I get to it right away, but over the weekend I usually wait till Monday. Or as I put it on the purchasing page: “Please allow up to 3 business days for processing. So formal. Basically, it’s processed by hand and so may take a moment.”
I use PayPal to handle the entire payment process, but I issue the actual licenses by hand. Payment comes though and I get an email which I then answer with the licesning info. Folks are so used to things happening immediately that a day wait gives cause for concern. I’m not complaining, just pointing it out. The whole process is intriguing.
I will complain about PayPal. I don’t much like the setup. In fact, I’m disappointed with PayPal’s options, their “business solutions”, which are not at all obvious, don’t allow for the settings I need, and always seem to require upgrading to some service higher up the chain.
I’ve looked at eSellerate but something about it bothered me. Other users have recommended Kagi, which I’m now looking into. I like the idea of doing licenses by hand, I just don’t like the way paypal handles the payments.
