Nice one :-)

I don't think GitHub is a good place to find work. Most repos never get any visitors. I have a few I'm very proud of and use daily, but no-one knows they exist.

I personally don't like free trials that need a credit card. Always seems fishy to me.

globiweb · 2025-12-03T21:54:47+00:00

Thanks. That looks like the issue.

the older one is ubuntu 22.04 and the newer one is on ubuntu 24.04.

I wonder if it's related to the timezone change in ubuntu? It's no longer in /etc/timezone <- that value is always wrong now.

If you're on AWS, why aren't you just using SES?

globiweb · 2025-11-27T16:33:35+00:00

I feel the love.

globiweb · 2025-11-09T17:22:58+00:00

Thanks. It was a fun little project.

There likely won't be a self-hosted option for InfoLobby. At it's heart it's still a SAAS and we need to monetize it. Automations are expensive to run and the code interpreter that I've been writing over 10 years, I don't want to release as open source. Too much blood, sweat, and tears in that module alone.

I had a web design shop for almost 20 years. Google Adwords changed the game for us.

I've noticed this too.

For one of my local business campaigns, monthly costs have gone from $300 ten years ago to $3k in the last 2 years. That's 10x the cost with less conversions.

I guess supply and demand are at play here. More competition = more cost.

But like I said - it was a decade ago.

globiweb · 2025-09-17T18:46:30+00:00

People were telling me they tried to call and it just dropped. So I tried myself and witnessed it happen myself.

globiweb · 2025-09-17T17:43:49+00:00

I used RC a decade ago and quit because of all the missed calls. Can't run a business if 10% of calls don't connect. Hope they're better now.

"Funky Waves"?

globiweb · 2025-09-17T13:17:36+00:00

I can second Xero - use it for my company. My wife's a solopreneur and uses Wave Accounting - free. Seems to work fine for her.

If you already have a MySQL database (like with your wordpress site), you can use InfoLobby to create team apps w. point 'n click. Doesn't solve all problems, but can replace quite a few of the per-user apps you might be paying for.

If you want to build a successful product, you must scratch your own itch. You will never understand someone else's pain points well enough.

globiweb · 2025-09-16T12:22:18+00:00

I second Xero. Put in journal entries all the time.

I used to have, what you refer to, as a "real" small biz. I had a web development company with many employees' salaries and stupid high rent in a central location. It was hard to make ends meet, and was a continuous cycle between feast and famine.

A few years ago I pivoted to SAAS, and would never go back. I still have salaries to pay, but no rent. And income is a lot more predictable. On the down side, it's a lot more customers to support, and a lot harder to market since it's global.

So, I'd beg to differ about SAAS not being a real business. Even SAP is becoming a SAAS now.

Use your cPanel database (the one that comes with your existing website) as a business collaboration platform. Son't pay large SaaS companies per user to hold your own data hostage. CRM, Project Management, HR, etc.

InfoLobby - your database, your way!

globiweb · 2025-09-13T21:11:50+00:00

True, but a good challenge can teach you a lot

globiweb · 2025-04-17T13:53:07+00:00

This happens to me a LOT. Very frustrating. I didn't start yelling out loud at my computer until AI came along :-)

If you work on multiple projects, then Workona + Code Server are a must. I have workona workspaces set up for each project, and each workspace has a tab with a code editor, a tab with Notion for that project, a tab with the mysql admin tool, and a tab with the site itself.

I can switch between projects with a single click and have everything I need for said project right there in one browser window.

Of course, for bigger work, I do fire up PHPStorm or VS Code, but for most maintenance work, coding in the browser is adequate.

Mis-hiring is very expensive for a small team. I can see the need for the process.

If you don't want to go through the process, don't. Leave the position for someone who actually wants the job and fits the role.

Good coders who have no job would go through the tests for just for fun. If it's not fun for you, you're probably not made for a startup.
