06/09/2013 - I get a ton of spam on my Mac, even though my mail server filters out lots of it. I use an excellent spam filter called SpamSieve to filter spam and deposit it in a Spam folder in Apple Mail. I got to thinking about an Applescript that could simplify my process.



06/04/2013 - Often, clients want a web application with blocks of text that they can edit themselves, rather than having to go back to the web designer to update things. For example, they may want to edit the greeting paragraph on the home page of their site, and they might want to bold some words or add color to words here and there.



02/10/2013 - I'm not saying that I Jailbroke my iPhone 5, but if I did, I'd tell you that I'm thrilled with how well it's working on my iPhone 5. Oops, did I just say MY iPhone 5? Silly me.



09/21/2012 - I’ve been a bit busy lately, with a trip to South Africa on safari, FileMaker Devcon in July, a new sailboat, other new developments... but haven’t gotten behind on my reading though. Here are some stout recommendations for Autumn 2012:



04/21/2012 - Longterm Solutions is pleased to announce the immediate availability of FileMaker 12 hosting.

Terms and Conditions

NEW HOSTING
All new hosting clients may choose to cancel hosting within the first 30 days and receive a full refund of their hosting fees.

HOSTING FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE
After the first month, any hosting fees paid to Longterm Solutions LLC, whether for a month or for a longer period, are non-refundable.

PROGRAMMING AND WEB DESIGN
All programming done by Longterm Solutions LLC is warranteed for a full year from completion of the project. Any bugs, errors, or omissions remaining in the database solution, web application, or website will be fixed at no cost to the client, provided the issues are part of the project and not requests for programming or design which were not part of the original project specifications. After the one-year period, any issues found in a solution will be fixed, and charges levied as deemed appropriate by Longterm Solutions LLC.

PROGRAMMING RATE
Longterm Solutions LLC reserves the right to change its hourly programming fees at any time without notice. Clients who need additions or modifications to existing solutions will be billed at the current hourly rate at time of the work request.

DATABASE AND WEBSITE BACKUPS
Longterm Solutions LLC backs up databases hourly, and archives at least twice weekly to DVD-R (at time of this writing, every 2 days). Websites are backed up nightly to a separate storage system, and archived approximately every 60 days.

Clients are strongly advised to keep their own archives of websites and databases. Longterm Solutions will be glad to provide a means for all clients to download backup copies of their databases.

Longterm Solutions LLC is not responsible for any data loss incurred while solutions are hosted on our servers. We take extraordinary precautions against loss of data and have never lost any databases or websites  since the company was founded more than 12 years ago, but we strongly encourage our clients to keep their own backups as an extra measure of security in the event of an unforeseen catastrophe or event.

EXTRAORDINARY BACKUP PROCEDURES
Unlike any other FileMaker hosting company of which we are aware, Longterm Solutions archives and stores database backups for at least 2 years. Our clients can take comfort in knowing that we can restore a copy of their database from any hour in the past 24 hours, then for any day in the last 2 years. To our knowledge, no other FileMaker hosting company provides this free service.
