I’m pleased to report that Indie+Relief raised over $143,872 for charity!

Thanks to all the participants! And kudos to Justin Williams and Garrett Murray for bringing this idea to life!

Today you have the great opportunity to buy fantastic “indie” Mac software and at the same time help the people of Haiti!

Justin Williams over at Second Gear Software brought together over 200 “indie” Mac and iPhone developers and have them agreed to donate a day’s worth of their sales to a variety of respected relief agencies.

Today, is that day!

Among the list of participating “indies” you will find the developers of: Acorn, Birdfeed, Delicious Library, Eucalyptus, HoudahSpot, MarsEdit, MemoryMiner, Sandvox and Things. Just to name a few!

We’ll be donating 100% of todays gross sales from Posterino and Snippet Mind to Doctors Without Borders whose work we admire and respect.

The scheduled server maintenance is done and we are back online.

Today our ISP will update a good part of all software installed on the system our server is running on. The maintenance window is as follows:

Nov 24, 2009 08:00-13:00 GMT

The actual downtime that will affect all services will be 30 minutes or less. So, let’s hope for the best and keep the fingers crossed!

And don’t panic if our site is out of sight

The news I have to share today is rather a sad one. The Swiss Post is discontinuing it’s postcard service for small businesses. Therefore the “real postcard” interface implemented in Posterino will stop working on July 1st, 2009!

The good new is, the postcard coupons you bought are not lost! Even after July 1st! You simple have to process your postcards using the Swiss Post web-site instead of the postcard interface built into Posterino:

1. Create your postcard in Posterino
2. Choose the Export toolbar button and than the Save to Disk option
3. Visit the Swiss Post Postcard Website. You can switch the language using the links on the top left of the page!
4. Choose Private customers
5. Start creating your postcard by clicking the Design postcards now button and use the saved image as own image
6. Complete your postcard and pay with the coupon code you purchased

If you’ve got a question regarding the postcard interface or this process in general, don’t hesitate to contact me !

The real postcard service never has been a big selling point for Posterino but I must admit that I really love this feature and I’m quite unhappy to let it go. And I know that some of you fell the same! So, I’m looking for a replacement service! If you have a service in mind which could make a good fit for Posterino, just let me know.

The scheduled server maintenance is done and we are again up and running.

Today our ISP will do some behind the scenes magic on the hardware our server is running on. The maintenance window defined is as follows:

December 17, 0900-1400 GMT

The actual downtime that will affect all services will be 20 minutes or less.

So, don’t panic if our site is out of sight
