software

As a follow-up to my previous tweet, retwittered by Saul Colt, i'll point out why none of the software—Harvest, Blinksale, Billings, FreshBooks, can move me away from Excel, even though i find the offers very enticing. Without regard to special differences between the apps and usability, my observations come more from a strategic angle.

There's a glaring lack of cool invoicing software (Harvest, Blinksale, Billings) for ppl who do what i do. That's why i'm an Excel man.

I wanna hug a bunch of programmers today. You´re the guys who fuel the enterprise; who let me launch a new task gracefully; who make me stride across the valley of forgotten talent; who make me toggle things; who revoke the human-machine chasm; who make me growl and whine at the same time; who burn the bridges to a childhood when I sat in the grass with no hint of geek-lust.
