iBiz continued to receive fixes for a few bugs and to ensure it worked with the latest Mac OS. We kept updating iBiz and even released iBiz 4.0 in 2009. IBiz 2 (formerly known as iWork) circa 2008.ĭuring the next 7 or so years, iBank continued to grow, went through several very important re-writes and eventually became our flagship product. iBiz continued to be the bread and butter for the company, and I hired my first employee who is still with us today :-). I worked endlessly on iWork and iBank iWork eventually changed to iBiz. At this point I moved to Vermont to settle down and get serious about software. After one year as a post-doc, I took the leap of faith: I left academia to form and work on IGG full-time. But I was still a one-man shop trying to juggle a lot of work.
Skip ahead a few years and by the time I was graduated and working on a post-doc, iWork and iBank were making a significant contribution to my monthly income. And although it was pretty simple at this point, especially compared to iBiz today, it still had some neat features for its time, such as 1-click emailing of invoices and an idle timer. iWork was a big success and continued to grow in popularity. I developed it to version 3.0 and then the next iteration was a complete re-write, called iWork. However, I still continued to chase my other little passion, to make AtWork better and better. I continued to make a few bucks a day, but certainly not enough to consider “going indie.” Besides, I was happy plugging away on my dissertation and chasing rare plants around southern California. I continually updated and improved upon AtWork and pushed new builds to my file server. I could hardly believe it! In a lot of ways, selling this first app marks the very beginning of IGG. The first day I posted it, I sold one copy. I found the app quite useful so I decided I would put it up on the internet and charge $6 for it. You probably get where this story is going and alas, AtWork was born. As an early OS X adopter (early as in, I installed the first beta) I was frustrated that there wasn’t an app to track the time I was spending writing reports - time I ultimately needed to bill back to the client. The fun part of the job was hiking around botanizing, the not so fun part was writing a report back at home. Occasionally on the weekends and between classes I would survey for rare plants as a side gig. Over a decade ago I was a graduate student studying biology and plant population modeling. The Detail Institute presented by Autopia-carcare.The story of iBiz is really the story of how IGG started.Tire, Wheel, Chassis and Engine Detailing.Quick Navigation Detailing Product Reviews Top At least the gold class will give a decent shine.I remember reading this before. Personally, I would sooner use my gold class liquid wax than use that stuff. At least the gold class will give a decent shine. I`m still cool with most of the guys, but after getting kicked out, i pretty much stayed out.
I have no doubt that the president (who also happed to be the guy pushing this stuff) was responsible for me getting the boot. Shortly after, I was dismissed from the club. Even after they saw this, they basically dismissed what I had to show them. The section with ibiz looked ok, the section with just the glaze looked good, the section with carnuba looked better, and the section with glaze/ carnuba looked best. This made four differnt sections that had product on the hood. Just to show them in person, i prep-soled the whole hood, and did the process all over for them with a twist- this time I combined the glaze and then topped it with the carnuba. When I showed my results to the guys, they just dismissed it, claiming that since i work in a body shop, that I probably screwed around to make the ibiz look bad. The sides with the glaze and carnuba looked a lot better. in fact, I hit the the hood with my Fill N Glaze on one side, and then some Mother`s liquid carnuba on the other side, and left the ibiz in the middle of the hood. True, it did clean things a up a little, but it did nothing to enhance shine or gloss. I got some to try out on my car (then a, 91 civic that was well maintained by me), and I was totally unimpressed with it. When I suggested doing their cars with my stuff (all 3m at the time), they laughed at me, and told me ibiz was the best ever. One of their guys was suppossed to be a distributor and claimed he was one of the only sources for the stuff. Used to hang with a car club a while back that swore by the stuff. I posted this on another site, so I`ll just post it here:
