I’ve started a new blog at geirfreysson.com. The posts on the Snailbyte blog have mostly been about technology and business, whereas the new one, modestly called “The Internet Industrialist”, will have a wider angle. Hope you enjoy it.

News and updates about Snailbyte will still be posted here as well.

We’ve recently fixed a bug that was crashing the Walletproof server every 2-4 hours. This resulted in Walletproof.com being very unreliable.

Because the server kept going off-line, the Walletproof blog was down as well, which meant that our users couldn’t see the information we posted there about the downtime.

If the server goes down again we’ll post about it here as well so people can stay informed.

One positive result of the downtime on our end was that we realised that our users are really nice people who care about the service. Thanks for all the nice email and your patience!

This Saturday and Sunday I’ll be at the London Hackday along with 499 other developers, trying to cook up something funky with Rails.

Appropriately I’ve added my name to the wiki, signed up to the backnetwork and updated my backnetwork profile.

Along with the developers, a bunch of interesting companies will be showing up, like O’Reilly, IBM, Moo and last but not least, Nabaztag!

We are happy to announce that a web application we’ve been working on over the past months has launched:

Walletproof is a personal finance web application. It’s meant to make keeping a budget as simple as humanly possible.

When a user is keeping a budget he/she can recommend deals to the Walletproof community, thus facilitating the sharing of knowledge on how to save money!

Check out the flash demo of Walletproof’s functionality and the Walletproof blog, where we keep users updated on all the latest news and features.

Please note that the development of Walletproof is an ongoing process and it is currently in beta version.

We’d love it if you tell us what you think!

This is the first post in the Snailbyte weblog. In this blog we will publish news about the company, our products and general thoughts on anything technology related.
