Hi everyone,
I am picking up a really old thread here, just to let you know I am living and give yo some status of myself...
I know that some of you have been missing responses from me about different B&O related projects/products/solutions the last year.
As many of you have concluded, these B&O projects are not my "main" business. They have mainly been done for fun as a hobby and some projects were done as a service to some other B&O users requesting these solutions.
The last year (or year and a half) I have been very busy with my "main business of living" and those of you that has visited my site and also seen the VAT rate and so on should be able to see that the B&O stuff isn't really the main business as it is not marketed at all on that site. I am sorry that I haven't been very responsive to some of you that has been mailing me. Some emails might have got lost (that I don't know of course) but during some periods I have not seen that I have had any time to build these projects even if someone want them. It is also a fact that many of the solutions don't work 100% well with the iPhone or iPod touch which is because of the different menu structure of these devices, which is difficult to overcome for some technical reasons.
It has happened a few times that I have promised to make some B&O related project and that the customer have had to wait very long time before I got the time (and energy) to actually deliver. I don't like that kind of situation, as those promises are as a constant bad conscience that doesn't increase the mood. A mood that on a private level has been a little bit put down because of a large water leak in our house that has now taken almost a year to finish repair. I also know that I am easy to persuade so if I go into discussion with people about these products, they can easily convince me to promise to make them. Something that will then be in queue and make both sides not happy. So instead of keeping up the "sales" of these solutions, I have tried to let them sleep (I have been trying to support those that already bought units and have questions about their existing products. I hope there is no buyer here that hasn't reached me).
Anyhow, if anyone is interested in getting anything, they are welcome if they just realize:
1. It doesn't work 100% well with iPhone or touch.
2. It could be a long waiting time between order and delivery as these are made during "spare time" which is uncommon having another business + 2 kids to take care of (my wife is working on her PhD research so come home very late usually).
3. There is no promise for any future development/fixes.
4. The different solutions are NOT sold as part of the "Ridax" site/company, it is a completely different business entity (and yes, that site doesn't look too well, which is part of the "business idea" as I feel those ordering anyhow, are better prepared for my kind of business. Why should I look like a high street luxury store, when I am not?).
Now the house is OK again, the spirit is going a little bit up, so I will try to be more active here on Beoworld as well (I felt it took too much time to keep even with the posting rate here before). The last year I have only been active on "House building" forums... ;)
