2011 Resolutions from the «house of billing»

Av


My family whishing a Happy New Year

  • Innovation: Crack the «billing on iPhone nut»

This is a bit of mistery. We must keep rolling out new versions, until we get the one that one market loves. Then continue in other markets. I know that all the world professionals will be billing with their mobile when 5 year has passed. The question is just to to listen to them.

  • Marketing: Increase social media impact with 10 times in 90 days.

    We increased 45 times in 6 months. So this should be possible if we optimize and start to use new tools as sendible, and also are willing for paying more to services like shotools.com

    • Sales: Get 1000 downloads in 90 days

      Well, this has a lot to do with the first point. With 150 downloads in small Norway, we should be able to get this during the 90 days in Spain and about 60 days in US.

      • Product: Global, Face and offline Billing

        We will create a global Scandinavian, English and Spanish version where you can adapt the accounting practice to your need. This is our first bet on the global market.

        • Dev: Focus on iOS and Face

          We must focus where the money is, and it certainly isn’t on Android. According to Horace Dediu, in 12/2011 there will be 350M iOS users using 500K apps and which download them 19Billion times.

          • Social Media profidence

            1. New SM Managment tool
          We need more tool support. Sendible.com is the first we’re going to test.
            • Video, video and video
            People keep telling me this is the future. I’ll try harder!
              • Paid Subscribtion to vg, guardian and gigaOm
              This is fun, even if it means shelling out money.
                • Get an SM assistant
                I need a really social genius in spe in La Vila for Facebook and Twitter
                  • Reach 100K followers
                  Well, multiply with 10 three times and we’re there.
                    • Reach Klout Score 80
                    May be harder than I think.
                      • Blog less and longer
                      Curate less, write own stuff more. This is also a fun part. I’m doing this right now!

                      • Fun: Give the team and family decent mobiles and laptops

                        Big fun. And you will never guess what brand I would buy if I become so lucky ;)

                        • Fun: Buy A hybrid car i April

                          I really expect the billing train will be rolling ahead, and a low-cost (below 400KNOK) Lexus is coming to Norway in April. So if things go well we may pollute less in the summer....

                          Predicates in Core Data

                          Av
                          Database programming is all about filtering and sorting tables linked to each other. According to the book Core Data , «Core Data is Apple’s object graph management and persistency framework for iOS, OS X, watchOS, and tvOS.» In a sense, predicates are an object version of the WHERE clause in SQL. Just like NSFetchRequest represent the FROM clause in SQL. I never have had problems with WHERE and FROM in SQL, but the predicate format strings in Core Data has been quite a struggle for me. I don’t think the struggle is only my fault. Predicates should clearly be thought, at least to me, as a method of writing WHERE clauses. Here is some notes from tutplus’ Core Data and Swift: Relationships and More Fetching : let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "%K == %@", "last", "Doe") The predicate format string uses %K (K stands for Key) for the property name and %@ for the value. let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "%K >= %i", ...

                          Hva er den egentlige forskjellen på høstens nettbrett?

                          Av
                          Google selger allerede et godt 7’ nettbrett, Nexus, og Microsoft og Amazon har annonsert sine nye som kommer i oktober/november. Rykter vil ha det til at Apple kommer med en iPad Mini i oktober. Alle nettbrettene synes å være utmerkede mht spesifikasjoner og pris. Og brukerne står ovenfor en vanskelig oppgave når de skal velge. Horace Dediu i Asymco satte meg på sporet i å se hvilken jobb nettbrettene skal gjøre for oss. Jeg har valgt å se markedet som fire mobile plattformer, eller «Eco-systemer», som de også kalles.

                          Photo from Hotel Continental website 200 persons, mostly investors, joined to see what 20 startups could offer in Oslo after the finance crisis . I was astonished to see so many foreign investors, from US and from UK. There was in my opinion a lot of great projects . Since I also presented, I could only follow some: Yes Game : They have ingenuos  reduced the chess board from 8X8 to 5X6 by taking away all second officers. In that way they have create a Chess Attack, which can take you into the final stage of a chess party immediately. They have it for iPhone and very important, also as a physical board. uformia created software very well suited for 3D printing. The CEO Cherie Stamm was an American living in Norway. She softened every Norwegian heart when the said the reason was our beautiful nature. 3D Printing is in my opinion a possibility for the Western society to rebuild the manufacturing industry we lost to China. kikora presented a math editor, which evalua...
