So, now, I've got a web page each for Postfix Enabler, DNS Enabler, and WebServer Monitor. Go ahead and collect all three, please. I built all three because I've needed them. WebServer Monitor allowed me to track how people buying Postfix Enabler were traversing through the web site. And that's how we noticed why they weren't seeing the serial number page, even though we've had that page up from day one so they'd get their serial number immediately. It's a short step from knowing why to knowing how to solve it, and I've been able to sleep a lot better now without worrying that someone's paid and not getting their serial number. And it's amazing seeing downloads of DNS Enabler going to places as far away as Peru and New Zealand. (I'd like to go where those bits are going.) DNS Enabler has been invaluable when we're doing our testing, when we need to mock up, say, how one mail server could authenticate and relay mail through another. So they're all available for download and they can be improved no end. I may be able to make DNS Enabler and WebServer Monitor so good that people would be willing to pay for them eventually, but I'm out of this Shareware thing. It's either going to be free or it's going be commercial. In-between is stupid. Believe me, I know. |
