In a previous post, I concluded that working on fewer projects per day is ideal. On most days, this idealistic goal isn’t much of a reality. The workday is full of interruptions. We built multiple timers into Intervals because we need — as do many other small businesses like us — a way to account […]

We recently bought a roomba for our home. We did our research beforehand to be sure we were making a sound purchase. The reviews were mostly stellar, and now the little round autonomous robot is like one of the family. There was one reviewer, however, who said the roomba would be perfect, if only it […]

On one of our sites were were running into a problem when we tried to pass HTML content from a database through an email obfuscation function to prevent spiders from scraping our clients’ email addresses. We quickly discovered that some of the longer pages were showing up completely blank. The preg_replace() function we were using […]

Although Intervals was developed primarily for time tracking and task management for web development, design, IT, and PR firms, we’ve noticed people using it in clever and creative ways. There are businesses who use Intervals to comply with various industry regulations — because it tracks time, task, and project histories so well — such as […]
