Ik heb als innovator en als technische mens in hart en nieren zelden zoveel plaatsvervangende schaamte voor de IT-sector gevoeld als na het lezen van het artikel Zwangere Guy hapert in virtuele AB (De Tijd, 14 april).
I started building the Entreprenerd website in February, but the results in that month are somewhat skewed, so I don't take those into account. March is the first full month for which I have data.
I've been very busy creating and fine-tuning the Entreprenerd website and I'm quite happy with the first results. For two weeks now, the site succeeds in attracting about 400 visitors a day (on weekdays).
I've been discussing the details of the book layout for "Entreprenerd" last week, and once we have made a final decision for the fonts, typesetting can begin. I don't have an exact release date yet, because I don't know how long the proofreading round will take, but in any case: the release of the book is getting closer and closer.
On February 14, 2000, I released iText 0.30, the first officially distributed version of iText.
While I'm creating Trivia pages for my book Entreprenerd, I compiled an overview of the different layouts of my personal web site and the iText web site.
The first years (2000-2001), my website was quite basic:
I did a poll, asking people who know me which photograph they liked best for the cover of my book out of twelve pictures taken by Ine Dehandschutter. These are the two portraits with the most votes:
The manuscript of my book "Entreprenerd" is written; the copy editing process is ongoing. Soon I'll start the production process including cover design, typesetting, and proofreading. In the meantime, more people have filled out the survey about the book.
Last week, I shared the first results of my online survey about the book I'm going to publish in a couple of months. Initially, more than half of the respondents seemed to be interested in the eBook version, but when I look at the charts today, I see a significant increase in people who say they would buy the paperback, or even the hardcover version. More about that later. Today, I want to highlight the feedback I received with respect to pricing.
