What have we been up to?

May 3, 2007

We aren’t dead! Let me say that first. In taking a step back and bringing on Cheryl as lead coder. Things are moving along well. We are expecting to relaunch Blogwerx and Sentinel by the end of the month. In going to Demo we also learned a great deal and gained some valuable insight as [...]

Taking a step back.

April 8, 2007

Some of you might have noticed the Blogwerx site being down. This is being done for several reasons. One we are moving it to new servers and 2nd is the largest.
Due to issues we have had with unreliable developers I’ve decided to pull Blogwerx down on a temp basis. Cheryl who I mentioned in my [...]

Quality, It’s hard to find.

March 31, 2007

After going through developer after developer, we’ve added a new member to the team. We welcome Cheryl and what she brings to the table. Cheryl has been a developer for the past 12 years on some big projects. She brings a wealth of knowledge to the table and will get Sentinel back on track.
I also [...]

Why is Sentinel Taking So Long? Ugh, Coders and Delays…..

March 8, 2007

I have to come clean and explain to the community that has registered, show interest and have been waiting why results have taken so long. First allow me to state that being a start-up of 4 people working virtually isn’t easy by any means. I also understand now why most web based start-up are built [...]

Crawling Takes Time

February 15, 2007

The end of January and the start of Febuary has been an exciting and trying time. We have had hundreds of users register and have crawled hundreds of thousands of sites. There have been some issues though. Making matches based on other metrics besides just text is fairly easy. We have encounted some issues and [...]

DEMO 07′

February 2, 2007

Whew! Just getting home and going through Technorati to see the buzz if there is one about Sentinel… It’s interesting about some of the things being said and thats great, both the good and the “wait to see” comments.
Within the blogosphere being honest is the best policy. Was Sentinel where we fully wanted it to [...]

Attributor gives us competition.

December 18, 2006

A stealth mode start-up, Attributor has been working on technology that is very close to Sentinel. Does this worry me? No, it was bound to happen sooner or later. We welcome the competition. There is enough room in the market place for each company.

Could we be anymore busy?

December 13, 2006

WOW! Since being accepted to present at Demo, the end of January things have gotten crazy! Coding like crazy, UI design, more code… I can understand now why most companies are started by 20 somethings still in school that can live off of cup-o-noodles and have no other worries. Being a husband, father of two, lead [...]
