Business Startup

Dear Reader,As you are aware from my ramblings, I often have crazy ideas andschemes of grandure, and nothing could be truer. This is precisely whyI write.I have a crazy idea, and it is a grand scheme. That scheme is to seeAcademics return to a desire for knowledge and wisdom. To see bothstudents and professional academics alike use technology to its fullestpotential rather than wrestling with it daily. This is starting offwith Scribere which provides a wayfor taking notes whilst listening to podcasts and vodcasts. In fact,though using an RSS feed to obtain and maintain the audio and video, itcan be used for any stand alone file. This is perfect for listening torecorded lectures or church sermons. Further, Scribere takes note of when in the audio/video the note was taken so that the notes can be reviewed and referenced with ease.That is the first of many crazy ideas and whilst I do love writing about the idea itself, it is nothing if it remains an idea. Scriberehas taken shape for the past year and though it is usable, it still haswork to be done. This is the second reason that I write. Scriberehas generated a lot of interest and popularity amongst my friends andaquantences and they have been clamering for it. "Gimme, gimme" are thecries that come thick and fast over twitter as well as when I take out my laptop in a coffee shop on Glenferrie Rd.This is where you, dear reader, come in. I'm at the point wherefinishing the app requires solid work and long hours, and these don'tcome cheep. In order to get the app completed, I'm in need of funds.One way of doing this is by a site called ChipIn which collates the funds into a PayPal account. In order to participate in this fashion, the ChipIn widget is provided bellow.If you feel that using the Internet is insecure or would rather dothings the old fashioned way via a bank transfer, please contact me at Matt _at_ ReformedSoftware _dot_ com.But what is in it for yourself dear reader? If funding crazy ideasand schemes of grandure isn't enough reason then I shall detail whatyou will get for your donation.
