I've never found a password manager that I like (the story of my life)!

I've never been a fan of hosting my personal data with other companies.

So I spent two days writing my own.

Mr Password is awesome. It does almost everything a Password Manager should do. I'm selling it cheap on codecanyon and once purchased you get free upgrades and access to the code.

Features include:

• Unlimited number of custom fields per password.
• Active Directory Authentication Support
• Multiple Users (with 2 permission levels, User and Administrator)
• Security Logging
• Account lock down after 5 failed logins
• MySQL Database
• Hashed (with SHA ) Account Passwords
• Password Generator
• Password Categories
• Sharing Categories
• HTTPs/SSL Supported

Go get it, only $US8-10 (depending on the way you purchase it).

Invoicing is just about complete! There are two more things that are not finished yet, PDF invoices and emailing the invoicing. Both will be pretty easy.

There were a few complex SQL queries to handle the tax calculations (and to have the total on the view all invoices page).

Here is what it looks like (click to see full size).

I am in the process of writing in invoicing support for IPManager (need to change the name of this app!). I've looked at Xero and Saasu but I'd still need to work out their API, and I don't like the idea of companies having access to my data, so I'm doing it myself :)

To do it nicely I need to use a bunch of JQuery so that you can easily add new line items on the fly (and calculate tax etc).

I've got it working just the way I want it, using a very long JQuery command! 

Here are a couple of screen shots:

And here is the basic design that the clients will see:

I am pretty happy with it so far, lots of work to go though.

This theme will be out for version 2.6 (no time frame for this release yet).

New version of Bluetrait Money is finally out!

You can purchase it from here:

Primary tickets query in IPManager, working very nicely (110,000 tickets in a slow VM).

I've just released a new version of Bluetrait Event Viewer for WordPress.

The main new feature is an email alert option on Successful/Failed Logins. I've also updated some of the HTML to improve the display of the events widget.

This plugin has been downloaded almost 7000 times, which I think is pretty cool 

From going over the WordPress stats I think there are about 2000 active copies of the plugin running around the world.

I spend a couple of hours yesterday adding a barcode scanner into IPManager.

The results are sent off to the IPManager server and then displayed as an overlay on the camera interface back on the iPhone.

It works surprisingly well for the amount of work I needed to do (not much).

I'll need to add a scanner log but it is pretty cool :)

So every good website needs an iOS app these days ;)

I've been wanting to get into some iOS programming so I've started writing a small app that can be used on the iPhone.

I'm using this service to generate the code required for the SOAP connection to the website. After a small amount of hacking it works really well and allows you to access all your SOAP results as proper objects within xocde which is nice.

I would say that the interface builder in xcode isn't that great. It works okay but if you do anything stupid the app can crash without any nice error logging.

The SOAP connection is very quick compared to going to the actual website which is nice. I'd also like to write in some SQLite caching at some stage too.

Well it looks like WordPress 2.0 is no longer going to be supported, so it is probably about time to rewrite some of my plugins to use some of the new WordPress developer features such as better database security.

I wonder when they're going to drop php 4...
