What software is it that you are selling exactly ?

Currently just "Optimizer" (see killefiz) - very simple utility to track Zaurus file additions/deletions using profiles I wrote about a year ago in a few weekends. Useful for tracking internal storage memory usage, deleting changes and/or zipping changes. Very much hobbyist on the side work, but I've got a couple of bigger projects now mostly complete that I want to either GPL or charge (a small amount) for (I have a site redesign too). BTW how does anybody find the time for dev work outside of their paid job? Between my gf, socialising, travel and gaming time is very short....!
Looks like I'm stuck with Handango for the time being, I'll have a look into pdapal.

I did hear of a site in Europe (German based I think) that was doing a similar service but can't remember its name - any ideas? With regards to PayPal, yes thats something I'd consider but is it tried and tested - have any other developers on ZUG gone down this route? I don't like the idea that the customer doesn't get the product on the spot. I have a few upcoming products that I will be selling ( I need to afford my new house somehow :/ ) and GPLing and I'd like some sort of site with counter.

Handango has recently lowered its royalty rate from 70% to 60%. With the UK exchange rate being so poor, added VAT  and having to cost me a minimum £6 a throw on $ to £ conversion, I'm getting some 40-50% of the cost of the products back.

Can anybody suggest an alternative to Handango?

Sharp ROMs / Moving directories to external storage

« on: April 02, 2004, 10:23:55 am »

I uses Sharp ROM 3.13 and symlinking it causes it to crash on boot (probably due to the cf card being mounted after it trying to access /tmp which is on the card).

If anybody figures out how to move /tmp please tell me - its a serious drawback when installing large ipks to internal as it unpacks to /tmp which is on internal....!
