PearBudget Forums!
I’m really excited to announce that we have brand-new PearBudget forums! The address is pretty easy to remember: http://pearbudgetforums.com. I know they’ll be a little slow at first, but I’d really love for you to go, create an account, and post a message. Have a question about budgeting? There’s a board for it! Find a […]
Can we talk?
I know that when you’re starting out with PearBudget (or any kind of budgeting), it’s easy to have questions — “I get a paycheck every two weeks, not once a month … how do I handle that?”; “does PearBudget have a mobile / iPhone / Android interface?”; “how do I handle refunds?” These types of […]
Welcome to 2010! Getting started with the new year.
So this is exciting. Last year, we had a convoluted process you could go through if you wanted to “reset” your budget for the beginning of the year. This year, we have a much more streamlined way to handle it. It’s possible there might be a few small bugs in this new process, so if […]
Coffee and Pie, On Us
Every once in a while, when we’re on the road, we meet up with PearBudget users to talk about budgeting, personal finance, life, new features for PearBudget, and so on. PearBudget buys the coffee and pie. For the next few days, we’re outside Philadelphia (Wayne / Paoli), and if you’re looking to take a break […]
An Early Present (easy protection from ID theft)
If you lose your wallet, you’re in trouble. You have a whole bunch of cards (credit cards, but also library cards, work ID cards, and so on) that you need to cancel and replace. And with the looming spectres of ID theft and credit card fraud, the problems associated with losing your wallet can get […]
Recurring receipt announcement
If you have a recurring receipt (see your recurring receipts) set to run in PearBudget on the 1st of the month, could you please check your receipts page and delete any duplicate receipts? Since today was Daylight Savings Time in the US, at 2:00 this morning, the clocks jumped back to 1:00. Every night at […]
Update: Bug’s fixed
Update: Bug’s fixed. I still recommend Firefox, though. A few users have reported a curious bug. We’re looking into it. For some reason, users on Internet Explorer 8 are finding that when they go to the PearBudget Review page, the browser doesn’t like it and closes the window on them. That’s all I’ve been able […]
Coffee in North Carolina?
This is kind of last-minute, and a total longshot, but we’re wrapping up a week at the Outer Banks (North Carolina) (specifically, Corolla). If any of you happen to be here, I’d love to take you out for coffee. Or, better yet, for a burrito at Donkey Hotay’s. Lemme know if you happen to be […]
PearBudget’s servers might be down this Friday
Just wanted to let you know that PearBudget’s servers might be down for about 30 minutes for some upgrades and whatnot this coming Friday. The service time will be sometime in the 9 to 11:30 (Pacific time) window on Friday evening. We’re sorry in advance for any problems this might cause. Thanks for your patience!
That Old College Try
As you probably know, we’ve built PearBudget to be friendly to people who’ve never mapped out their finances before. And this fall, hundreds of thousands of people who’ve never mapped out their finances before will be heading off to college. For the first time in their lives, they’ll be cooking for themselves, doing their own […]
