Jawber who?

Bill Bosacker — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 17:55:00 GMT

UPDATE 8/20/2010: All of the status messages that were on the live test site have been converted to blog posts and added to this blog. I'm back to working on JawberDoo full time. Other than what is currently on the test site I haven't posted very much, so I decided to take some time to give everyone an update. There have been quite a few developments in the past couple of months, so here we go. After talking with some users, we decided to add more support for agencies. While the site will...(read more)

New functionality for Agencies

Bill Bosacker — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 07:00:00 GMT

We've had requests for an additional type of listing where employer agents will create listings that are only visible to agencies, which we believe is a good idea for the greater picture. This is going to require some significant changes that require us to place the current testing on hold. We will update you when testing is again available....(read more)

Dropping the use and support of all Telerik products

Bill Bosacker — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 16:05:00 GMT

A little over a year ago we decided to give Telerik's products a try as their products seemed to have finally matured to a point where we wouldn't need to worry about incompatibilities with other systems, mainly AJAX.NET. However, about 2 weeks after all the documents had been signed and development had actually been under way for about 6 weeks, Telerik decided to embed all of the web support files into their web DLL and broke the ASP.NET UI Control model. The Appearance attributes of all...(read more)

Control changes

Bill Bosacker — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 07:00:00 GMT

Due to several issues related to the Telerik controls that are currently being used, we decided to drop their use and go with the controls from ComponentArt. It will take a couple months to convert everything over and to create some custom AJAX.NET controls that we need. During this time there will not be any site updates....(read more)

Search is functional

Bill Bosacker — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 07:00:00 GMT

The search code is now fully functional, but we are reworking the order processing to make it more intuitive to use. A few test jawbs (in San Diego, CA) with no expiration have been added for testing purposes. Once complete, the open beta test phase will begin....(read more)

Mission Statement

Bill Bosacker — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 07:00:00 GMT

JawberDoo.com is a national database of jawb links that can easily be searched by industry, category, specialization, and location, at no cost to jawb seekers. Our purpose is to link jawb seekers with employers at a nominal cost to the employer, while reducing the risks of doing business over the Internet. Site ads are used as an additional revenue source, but they should be tasteful and useful to users. Any ad that does not meet these criteria, or impacts the performance of the site, will be removed...(read more)

JawberDoo?

Bill Bosacker — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 23:31:00 GMT

In my spare time I have been working on a new web site, JawberDoo.com . JawberDoo.com is a national database of jawb links that can easily be searched by industry, category, specialization, and location, at no cost to jawb seekers. The purpose is to link jawb seekers with employers at a nominal cost to the employer, while reducing the risks of doing business over the Internet. A friend of mine (Vertigo) has been eagerly awaiting the site, so I thought I'd let him and everyone else know that I'm...(read more)

User Accounts Lost

Bill Bosacker — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 02:53:00 GMT

Due to a bug in the database schema, all user accounts created in the last month became corrupted and had to be deleted. We tried to go back to a previous version, but we had to make a choice between posts or users and the posts won. Please recreate your account as we move forward with a unified user database for the production and test sites. Sorry for the inconvenience....(read more)

Update: Calendar Status

Bill Bosacker — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 23:31:00 GMT

While upgrading to the CS2008.5 SDK I also upgraded the CS2007 calendar control to work under CS2008.5. There are still several issues that need to be addressed, but I have the control working on this site. The next step will be to remove the ComponentArts DLL requirement so that the control can be distributed. If I have time this week, I may be able to have something by next weekend. I'll have to see how things go. Until then, take a look at the Calendar page and let me know what you think....(read more)
