I need to be able to have/track customers between all of the applications since I haven’t found an “all-in-one” solution that doesn’t feel like overkill. I hope to eventually have hundreds and thousands of customers but I’m not there yet and most of the solutions I have found are for multiple users and a corporate-ton of customers. I’m almost tempted to drop Bento 2 since it requires a lot of attention that I feel could be better spent actually contacting customers. Simple solution would be to create a new group in my addressbook.app and just keep it sync’ed with google and Quickbooks.

So to wrap up my CRM rant I’m looking for a: single user + integratable (Quickbooks Pro on PC, addressbook on Google, mac client counterpart, and Blackberry from the cloud) + small customer base/startup with ability to import from xls/numbers file.

I was able to slim down all the accounts to one main google account and then use the same user name as my hosted apps account and so far so good because if you are hosting then your hosted app login will take priority over the standard google account :) http://m.google.com/sync for a good time ;) that’s once you take the plunge first http://google.com/a ;)

I’m currently studying up on meh programming in an attempt to become a more rounded geek. I’ll be heading towards C# .Net which also includes some SQL. There are a few books I’m reading at the moment and not all of them are programming :-)

  1. cfgonzales dot com site dev
  2. ericnakagawa dot com non-journal entries
  3. del.icio.us / hulapunk +technology

consider the differentiation of pages by subtle design changes which are intended to define each page’s content:

  1. main page
  2. archive
  3. dev specific
  4. about me
  5. referral content page
