Like a kid off to the first year of college, you haven’t heard that much from krypted.com recently. But if you’re still out there following, I’m still out here doing stuffs. Like the most recent episode of the MacAdmins Podcast, accessible at http://macadmins.libsyn.com/flashcast-13-2023-in-review. Or there’s pretty recent code usually posted on my GitHub at https://github.com/krypted. Or the latest edition of the Apple Device Management book I did with Rich Trouton can be found on Amazon. Or the Startup Players Handbook I did with Chip and Amy Pearson can be found on Amazon as well. Or I’ve written plenty of articles for the blog of my new product Secret Chest at…

New Book, The Startup Players Handbook, Now Available For Download
The physical editions aren’t shipping just yet, but the book I wrote last year with Chip Pearson and Amy Larson Pearson is now available for download through Kindle and the Apple Books app! Writing about business can be incredibly challenging. Especially in a time when it’s evolving more rapidly than at any point in history. Having said that, there are many constants that never change (or at least haven’t). There are also more types of businesses now than ever, and more being started. The approach we took was to lay out the tenants of building a sound business without taking on funding, places where funding might accelerate growth, and what…

Quick and Dirty Avrae and DNDBeyond Commands
Discord is a great service for building quick chat groups, having video chats with multiple people (I’ve even used it to record podcasts), and much more. DNDBeyond has changed the way some of my Dungeons and Dragons groups play the game by allowing us to build character sheets online, giving quick access to information we used to pause games to look up in books, act as an online dice roller for parties where we can all see the results (with buffs added in), and now integrate and stream that to Discord using the Avrae Discord bot. I don’t think anything has changed the way we play Dungeons and Dragons more…

Starting A Company Podcast
Wrote a post on how to start a podcast within a company at https://www.bootstrappers.mn/post/starting-a-company-podcast. It starts off: The first time we do most things is usually the hardest. Once we get through one or two repetitions, most tasks get easier. About 400 podcast episodes in I’ve had a lot of failures that maybe just maybe anyone reading this article can avoid. So first, let’s look at why organizations make podcasts: If it’s your cup of tea, read more at https://www.bootstrappers.mn/post/starting-a-company-podcast.

https://krypted.com/ Turns 13 Today!
Before December 30th of 2004, https://krypted.com/ was a site with some flat files of notes I’d taken. During the Holiday break that year, I finally converted it into a blog. And now, with over 3,500 posts and netting around 10,000 unique visitors a day, it’s very different. It started out as just some musings and technical notes. Now, it’s… Well, some musings and technical notes. Actually, back then I’d occasionally write about college football (Go Dawgs!), a lot more about Windows (um, Windows NT sometimes – ick!), and an increasing amount about macOS Server. These days I post less, but I write as much as I ever did. Just more…

Tips for Successful Email Marketing Campaigns
My latest Inc.com post, on running successful email marketing campaigns, is available at https://www.inc.com/charles-edge/10-email-marketing-campaign-tips-to-keep-subscribers-attract-new-ones.html. It starts like this: It seems like every time I turn on the radio, there’s an ad for an email marketing automation tool. Constant Contact, Mailchimp, Emma, iContact and even Salesforce make it pretty easy for small and mid-size businesses to automate beautiful emails. Or for larger organizations, there are offerings like Marketo, Adobe Marketing Cloud and Eloqua. But while the ads make it sound like these campaigns write themselves, they don’t. Email marketing is a delicate business. On one hand, you don’t want to be an evil spammer. On the other, email is an efficient…

20 Constants In Software Development
My latest Huffington Post article, called 20 Constants In Software Development is up. It starts out like this: There are so many things I wish people had told me when I was in school, or earlier in my career. Things that aren’t variable between organizations you work with, or even teams you work in. So I thought I’d jot a few down of these for software development teams (if only to prove that no, despite what product managers say, you aren’t crazy). So here goes: A project will never have enough people to build all the features you want. Period. Less features means fewer defects. As a software project nears…

Sexual Misconduct is a Bipartisan Issue
I stepped a little outside of the business and tech sphere and published an article on… sexual misconduct and partisanship. If it’s you’re kinda’ thing, it starts out like: I’m a tech writer. I write about #nerdstuff. As a rule, I don’t write about politics. But this isn’t political. This is about sexual harassment and assault, something we should have zero tolerance for in our politics.
