Getting a job was as difficult as securing the old one. It was another experience entirely after working as Sales Executive in a bookselling firm and wanting to become an editor for a publishing firm. Actually Claude had a flair for editorials, so he had to experiment first as freelance editor while working as salesman. It was actually difficult to determine whether book editing could be taught (perhaps a B.A honors in editing would have gone a long way) or a matter of talent and experience could help, but Claude had this weird interest and inordinate desire to be called writer and editor

Friday morning we all slept late, exhausted after our long day at Disneyland. I thought that as tired as we were at our youthful age, then Uncle Charles must be practically comatose today! Although I had to use the bathroom, I lay in the bed until I could not stand it a moment longer, afraid that my movements would waken the children, but finally I had no choice, and I quickly tiptoed into the bathroom and closed the door.

It happened during the World War at a small village in Dogon, Mali, about fifty kilometers to Timbuktu. Those years, Timbuktu witnessed a boom in salt trade, it was the major export via the river and the desert merchants coming from Niamey and Djibouti have had to reconsider their route, because export was faster using the river than Sahara desert. People came far and wide to trade in salt and millet.

Setting up the Options page was easy. But setting it up to make it obvious, user friendly, and easy to use was another matter.

I really didn't want to get into adding options until after Version 1.0 was released, but the separation of GEDCOM tags from "other stuff" is necessary right now.

I spent the last week trying out various ideas. What I ended up doing was calling the page: "Report" because all the settings on it relate to the Everything Report. Rather than custom building the page at this time, since I'm sure I'll be changing items as I go, I've used a treeview where you can select the options. The treeview has three parts:

1. Contents - so you can select which sections of the Everything Report to include and what to name them.
2. Extra Info - listing some extra information generated by Behold you may want to include, such as Generation number, or AutoOrg relevance.
3. Text to Display - which lists some of the phrases used within the Everything Report, so you can change them if you want. Eventually all the phrases will be included. This will allow the Everything Report to be displayed in any language, and all I will need are volunteers to translate all the phrases (and also the Tag text). The idea is that I will make these available as Behold files for each language that will be downloadable from the Behold website.

I'll also be adding a needed Title and a Footer, both customizable, to the Everything Report.

So the hard part really was figuring out how to best set this up. I think it's good enough for the Version 1 release this way. A few more days and I should have this completed.

Finally, got through the merge from and merge into functions of the new Report options page. Following that, I hurried through the rest of the Tutorial in the help file. It may not be perfect right now, but it will get polished over time.

So what was going to be just adding the last set of features before going beta, ending up turning into some fairly major changes and usability improvements. A lot of the changes were based on user input and I thank everyone for that.

There are quite a few changes this version, many of them quite noticeable in the program and in the Everything Report. See my Version History for a complete list. I'll be sending out a mailing tonight to everyone who's purchased and tried Behold to let them know about the new version and some of the new features.

At last, this version is released! There are a few new things, a number of improvements, and many bug fixes including a few important bugs squashed related to problems customizing tags. Visually, the most significant difference is the elimination of the log file with that data being added into the File Information sections at the bottom of the Everything Report.

There really has been no use in me saying that the next version would be out in 2 months. It always seems to extend to almost three. Thank goodness that I added my expiry of the program after 3 months. At least that has forced my hand at getting a new version finished.

But now I'm guided by my new resolve to work towards the goal of Version 2.0 and get there as soon as possible, maybe within a year. First step is to get to beta. I'm again attempting to say 2 months (January 2008) to do the final bits of alpha work. There are 3 major features I want to that I feel need to be in version 1:

1. Handling Photos. I want to be able to display thumbnails with their associated data. Hopefully I'll find a quick and dirty way to code it to show a larger picture when you point to one with the mouse. Exporting to HTML should be easy. I don't know about RTF.
2. Displaying the same AFNs together. This will basically be a precursor to Virtual Merging. I've promised this to one purchaser for too long a time already. And it has been the feature that seems to get deferred every version. This time I'll do it.
   
3. Allow Behold to be used as a Portable Application on a pen drive. This really isn't that important now, but it will be quite easy for me to do (only take a few days) and it will be a "sexy" feature that might get Behold noticed.

Number one for me are the pictures. I need that feature to use Behold to make my webpage with info for my Romanian research. If your genealogy program exports links to photos in its GEDCOM, then you'll want that feature as well. I'm a bit worried as there is a chance that graphics might slow Behold down or make it use too much memory. But I'll tackle that problem if it happens.

So, enjoy this current release. I'm very happy with it. I've been tightening up and simplifying the code, and Behold is starting to feel like a real solid application.

One thing leads to another, and it now seems I've almost got everything properly planned, and I just have to do it!

This really is the best time to update my site and set everything up better, before I get to Beta.

The move to the new webhost is required, and I'll have to test that everything works the same at the new site. I've got scripts to send out the trial key, programs to deal with purchases, a database and mailing list of users, my blog, the user Forum, and all the webpages themselves.

The domain will become www.beholdgenealogy.com and the site will look more professional. The sample page I have there is undergoing a few changes, but I'm fairly happy with the way it looks.

I've decided to use the new Web Standards, that weren't around 10 years ago when I first put up my web pages. I've been studying and learning how to develop websites with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and ended up purchasing the program TopStyle Pro to help me build the pages.

I'll be switching to Wordpress for my blog, which means delving more into the PHP language and the MySQL database.

For the Forum, I originally thought I'd use Simple Machines, then in my previous post, I mentioned that Google Groups was a possibility. But now I think the one to use is Vanilla, a simple but extendible and powerful free forum package that's a bit different than the rest. I like when they announce a new version and say "Now available with fewer features". It is less than a 400 KB download! Amazing! And I'll be able to integrate it and Wordpress together so you'll have a single login.

Then I might even switch to PhpList to manage my mailing list and user database. My current mailing list program is ASP based and will start to bog down once I get to 5,000 mailings. PhpList should be good to 100,000. Again it uses MySQL and I might be able to integrate it with Wordpress and Vanilla.

So there's a fair bit on my plate. A move, a new design, learning to use 4 new software programs, a new database package and conversions of all my webpages, procedures and data. Sounds a bit overwhelming when I think about it. But now that the plan is in place, it's just a matter of doing it a step at a time.

I know this will delay my Beta release, but it will be very worthwhile in the long run. Hopefully this will all go smoothly and won't take too long. We'll see how it goes.

There's a new version now up. For non-purchasers of Behold, Behold had only 4 days left until it expired. So I needed to release a new version, even though all it has new is 2 small bug fixes.

I didn't realize until now how long this site redevelopment has been taking. It's now two months and still isn't finished. But that's because I'm tacking everything on: A new website. A new web host. A new blog tool. New forum software. New mailing software. New automation scripts. In the meantime, other than new software, I've also learned the PHP script language, mySQL database, and CSS web markup. So I've been busy and my head hurts.

I've come to realize that it was necessary to do this prior to getting to beta and then version 1.0. Soon my site will be ready for growth and increased traffic. Will that happen? I hope so, but at least I'll have a nice modern site with all the tools in place to handle it if and when it does.

So with all decisions in place, it's just a matter of implementing everything, bit by bit, until it's done. My current Behold website uses 8 year old HTML/ASP/Access technology that lasted up to now. This rewrite will bring my site into the new CSS/PHP/mySQL world, and should hopefully last me for the 8 years.
