I especially like this bit:

You can’t please all of the people all of the time. Sometimes, you have to make a few people really unhappy in order to make everyone else a little bit happier. Don’t let angry customers dictate your application design – the application isn’t as important to them as it is to you. Keeping your application healthy is your responsibility.

Indie+Relief is now reporting that the total amount raised was $143,872.

I feel truly blessed and humbled to be part of a community that so quickly and strongly bands together in times of need.

A very special thanks to SecondGear Software and Garrett Murray for organizing the event and putting together a great site in such a short time.

If you didn’t get a chance to participate in Indie+Releif, Haiti could still use your help. Please consider making your own donation.

This week disaster struck and it was all of my own making.

Michael inadvertently deleted all the files off his MacBook Pro forcing him to have to rebuild his system from scratch.

But thanks to practicing safe computing with backups and running LicenseKeeper, Michael was able to recover his data and successfully rebuild his system.

Fortunately, I did have backups for all my data and my OS X disks were on hand (I now know why I’ve been carrying them around for years)… I had quite a bit of fiddling to do, including re-entering registration codes. Fortunately I run the excellent LicenseKeeper software so I had everything in one place.
