It’s been a while since we mentioned the GoCards
It’s been a while since we mentioned the GoCards here. In case that’s a new term for you, your Gocard is a printable 3×5 card with your budget categories, and how much you have available for the month. It’s kind of like the pared-down iPhone version of PearBudget for people without iPhones. (If you know […]
Happy Canada Day! To Celebrate: Toronto PearBudget Meetup!
There’s a very good chance I’ll be in Toronto within the next month. I’d love to meet up with any of you in the area. We can talk about budgeting, eat some Tim Hortons’ (my treat … that’s one less receipt for you to enter!), and generally have a good time. Send me an e-mail […]
Emergency Binder!
If you happen to have some downtime (like, oh, if you’re waiting for PearBudget to move to its new server), you might take a minute to check out a new (free) project we’ve started up, Emergency Binder! As you’ve probably guessed, it’s a resource where you can gather important documents, records, and instructions for how […]
Moving to a New Server
A quick note on our downtime: Our hosting provider, Media Temple, is currently in the process of transitioning PearBudget from it’s current “cluster” to a new “cluster” — this should make the site more stable, and faster (although I’m not sure how to interpret “faster” … will it be noticeable to humans? Or just to […]
A quick note on recurring receipts
A quick note on recurring receipts: The server’s downtime yesterday meant that the code that normally creates recurring receipts didn’t run on the morning of the 5th. So if you have a recurring receipt that runs each month on the 5th, you should take a minute to enter it in by hand. We’re working on […]
Blog design update
I just increased the font size, line-height, and contrast on the blog. We hadn’t had any complaints about it, but as I read yesterday’s long-ish post, I thought it was a little washed out. Feedback (good or bad) is always welcome! Send me a tweet @pearbudget or @charliepark.
Let’s think about something happy.
Let’s think about something happy. These are our little girls! Frances (2), Lucy (5), and Kate (2)
It’s not you. It’s us. Kind of.
Update: looks like we’re back up. Head on over to your account at pearbudget.com. If you’ve tried to access your PearBudget account over the last day, you’ll have seen that the server is down. This is an issue at our hosting company, Media Temple. They have a team of engineers working on it, and, presumably, […]

We started up the “Budgeting Tip of the Day” again at Twitter (twitter.com/pearbudget). Just in case you missed it. In related news, if you’re following us on Twitter, and we aren’t following you, and you aren’t a spammer, send us an @pearbudget message and let us know, and we’ll follow you back.
Budgeting Tip of the Day Update
I’d love to hear any dissenting opinions, but for now, we’re going to stop feeding the “Budgeting tip of the day” on the blog.
