Karel’s letters written during travelling
Letters written when working while travelling, part 11.
Software sales
So, since the last time I wrote, a tree planting company wrote that it
is still interested in my software. Last year about 7 companies expressed
interest. One thing I couldn’t get going was to make it Plant Wizard (PW)
compatible. PW is the industry standard and to make my system compatible
with theirs I needed to see one of their exports. One tree planting company
finally sent me an export and it confirmed my suspicion that it will be
easy to duplicate. This guy said some of his clients require the software,
which costs 1500 bucks a year.
That is why I am charging 1500 bucks for my software. Since he
already has to pay this every year for some of his clients, it seems he
will be perfectly willing to pay that to me if he only has to pay it once.
Which is a good cash injection, and then I can finally advertise on my
website that it is fully compatible. The industry seems to be standardising
and my guess is that more and more companies will be forced to use it,
in which case, hopefully, more and more companies will be buying it off
me. And then I’ll make more than when I was slaving like a dog for that
redneck who shortchanged me 2000 bucks for all that hard, musclin work!
Meanwhile, got a Slovakian to English job which was just too bloody technical
for me, I gave it to someone else, I’m supposed to get paid in a week,
I have 50 Euro in my pocket, and I can pay my translator after I get paid
(at the start of next month) for the translations I am currently working
on.
MAN did my belly graze the bottom on this one, but looks like I’m back
up on my feet and surviving!
Decided I don’t have the gas cash to make it down to Sicily yet, so I
will stay in this village until I save up the cash. Know some people here
and have a good angle going with the internet. Only in the evening it
will get increasingly cold, so I will just have to stay in the cafe and
then crawl into my -30C sleeping bag. Keeping it crisp! (Hopefully I wont
get too crisp from the cold, heh heh). * * *
