Checking on Things
Hi, friends. We’ve gotten a note or two about PearBudget not working (after we worked on the servers this morning). If that’s the case for you, could you shoot me an e-mail at charlie@pearbudget.com ? Thanks so much. Update: As far as we can tell, all issues have been fully resolved. Thanks again!
Some Planned Downtime Tomorrow (Friday, April 15th)
Hi, all! Charlie here. I just wanted to let you know that PearBudget will be down for about an hour or two tomorrow (Friday, April 15th), from about 8am to about 10am (Eastern). We’re going to be working on the servers a bit. We’re hoping that the downtime will actually only be about 15 minutes, […]
Coffee and Donuts, On Us
In a little over a week and a half, I (Charlie) will be down in Austin, Texas, to lead a session at the SXSW Interactive conference (my session is on “how do you run a web business and still be a good dad? Alternately, how do you be a good dad and still run a […]
Thanks for your feedback on the sparkbars! They aren’t going anywhere!
A few days ago, we asked for feedback on the little green lines under the category names, asking if they were something you found useful. We got a lot of feedback (you can see it here), and it seems like a lot of you really love them. That’s awesome! And we’re so glad to know […]
Introducing Ruth!
Back in late 2010, I made some noises about how we’d be bringing on some people to help us make PearBudget run a little smoother. I’m so excited to introduce to you our “Employee #1,” Ruth Szpunar! We pride ourselves on a few things here at PearBudget. At the top of the list is customer […]
Tip of the Day! (what do you want to know?)
One of our biggest goals when developing PearBudget was (and is!) to make budgeting simple. And one of the things that makes most budgeting programs complex is that there’s so much stuff on the screen. So we’ve tucked away features and made the interface as simple as possible. So — yay! — there are gems […]
Be sure your e-mail address is correct!
Setting up a budget is exciting, I know. Thrill-a-minute, right? It’s important, though, that you come down off the high to make sure you’ve entered your e-mail address correctly when you create your account. I know you type your e-mail address every single day. Multiple times in a day, even. Despite that, it’s still possible […]
Searching the FAQs
We’ve added a search box on the PearBudget FAQ page, to hopefully help you find the answers you’re looking for. Just type in your search terms, and the FAQ page will filter out the answers that don’t have the terms you enter. If you feel like testing it out, you can try typing in “donut”. […]
Holy cats!
Holy cats! Tumblr apparently doesn’t tell you by e-mail that people have asked you questions. Just saw for the first time that a bunch of you have asked questions here and have been waiting for answers. So sorry about that! We’ll start replying to them, but if you need a faster response, feel free to […]
Update: We were able to get the site up not too long after we posted this
Update: We were able to get the site up not too long after we posted this. (We don’t want you thinking the site’s still down!) Many of you have probably already seen a few tweets from us about some downtime we’re having today. I wanted to post a quick note here for those of you […]
