Database Server [UPDATE]

9/20/2007 in ClearCheckbook News
Things should be back in order now. Sorry for any problems this caused.

The database server is temporarily acting up. We are actively working on the issue and things should return to normal shortly.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

3/4 of a Million Transactions Recorded!

9/11/2007 in ClearCheckbook News
Not even two months have passed since we reached the half-million transaction mark. Today we're amazed to see how quickly an additional 250,000 entries have been made. That comes out to over 4,000 transactions per day being added to the site! As of now, we are currently storing over 750,000 transactions made by over 7,600 active users.

In other news, work has started picking up again on ClearCheckbook v2. We're now setting a target of mid-October for the release of v2. This next version will come packed with many performance improvements, as well as new features that many of you have been requesting for a long time.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Interested in Developing for ClearCheckbook.com?

8/9/2007 in ClearCheckbook News
ClearCheckbook opened for public use on May 20, 2006 and has since grown to around 6,500 active users who have entered over 600,000 transactions. Up until now, there has only been one person coding/maintaining/answering questions/troubleshooting/running the site, and that's been me.

What started out as a personal project for myself has grown far bigger than I ever could have imagined. I thought I had the time and energy to keep the site updated and evolving as the demand came in. Recently I've come to the realization that I simply have too many projects on my plate and can't keep ClearCheckbook updated as needed.

This has made me decide to ask for some help and look for someone who has a great knowledge of PHP/MySQL/Javascript and a good eye for design. This position would mean you helping with site updates (mainly the completion and release of V2) as well as future projects such as building an API for the site and improving and evolving the site as needed.

Unfortunately, this will have to be an unpaid position as the site doesn't actually make any money. The donations we receive are used to cover the costs of hosting and everything that goes along with it.

The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys seeing other people benefit from their work and wants to help people stay on top of their finances by providing the best site out there for just that. Being a user of the site is also a great plus, but not a requirement.

If you're interested, please email me a brief resume and some sites you've worked on or currently work on as well as a little bit of information about yourself. You can send all information to brandon [at] clearcheckbook [dot] com (modified to prevent spambots).

I'll be accepting resumes until August 31st. I look forward to hearing from you!
-Brandon
