Turning a WordPress Blog into a Book: Part One Posted by Dave under LaTeX, XML.
Lately my lovely wife has been asking me to help her in the task of turning her blog (a WordPress installation like this one that I maintain for her) into a book. It’s a pretty daunting task, since her blog would easily surpass 1,000 pages if printed. After a few days of trying out different services and trying a variety of search terms, I just couldn’t find a good match for her blog.
Upcoming Launch: www.cashtrackeronline.com Posted by Dave under Cash Tracker Online.
The last 8 months have been pretty busy for me. I had the usual business of year-end (perks of running a tax-related product team) and then some. My energetic 2-year-old daughter is almost enough to keep me from posting at all, but I’m here now to announce (mostly to myself) that I’m back in the hunt. I have scheduled the last steps to launching www.cashtrackeronline.com and hope to do so in the next month (pending a hosting upgrade among other things).
CashTrackerOnline.com Sneak Peek Posted by Dave under Cash Tracker Online.
Here’s a preview of the account tracker I’m working on. I filled it with my own account data to make it look realistic (and because I’m migrating my own finances from the Windows app to the new framework), which is why most of the actual names and numbers are blurred out. Enjoy!

I’ve been making some progress on the web project over the past few days. I’ve only got the steam for an hour or two each day, but since the last update I’ve accomplished a few things:
CashTrackerOnline.com Weekly Development Summary Posted by Dave under ASP.NET, Cash Tracker Online.
This will be the first of a series of weekly updates about the Cash Tracker Online project.
CashTrackerOnline.com Domain Purchased Posted by Dave under ASP.NET, Cash Tracker Online.
I’ve decided to go ahead with the online version of Cash Tracker. I purchased and parked the domain on my personal hosting account today. You can view the “coming soon” splash page here. I’ve also decided to convert Cash Tracker to a web project before implementing any of the new features. I think the development will be much faster-paced because programming for the web is my strong suit. Also, the tool will be much more accessible on the web, and version control will be much easier to implement (no more converting .tfx files to a new version because of a schema change).
Screen Tracker Upgrade Available Posted by Dave under Code Release, Screen Tracker.
I have just released a Screen Tracker update. I’ll get the source code uploaded at some point. In the mean-time, here is the new feature list:
Cash Tracker is Now on the Web! Posted by Dave under Cash Tracker Online, Code Release.
Have you ever wanted to feel confident with your finances? Have you ever wondered how making changes to your lifestyle would affect your livelihood over time? These were the things I wanted to know over two years ago. I didn’t care about all the fancy accounting terms associated with personal finances. I just wanted to know things like (for example) whether my family’s spending habits were acceptable or not or whether we could afford to go on a summer vacation or subscribe to a new magazine.
