New options

Saturday, November 10th, 2007

Two new things are available today: an easier way to delete multiple tasks at once, and the option to leave MyChores. Not that i want anyone to leave, but i think people are more likely to trust a site that they know they can leave whenever they want to. I guess it also allows people [...]

Two new themes

Monday, November 5th, 2007

I bought a poppy today, for Remembrance Day, and i thought, wouldn’t it be nice to have a MyChores theme with poppies on it. I don’t know whether all countries have the same symbolism, but in the UK many of us wear small paper poppies as a sign of remembrance for all who have died [...]

DNS update

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

It seems to me that the DNS is fully updated now; i haven’t had any problems with MyChores this morning. I have also set the email settings to send email from the new server, and that seems to be working fine too.

With any luck, MyChores will move to its new home tomorrow morning. I plan to begin the move at 6am GMT, Saturday 3rd November.
I hope that the move will be smooth and without trouble, but i should warn you all there are several things that could possibly go wrong:

MyChores may be down for a period [...]

MyChores business cards

Friday, November 2nd, 2007

I got some free business cards from VistaPrint; they look approximately like this, although the text is much clearer than this picture shows:

If you would like some i will happily post a few to you (wherever you are in the world!) provided you are going to give them away and not keep them to yourself! [...]
