In the beginning…
How History Explorer came to be.
For a long time I had been irritated at the way backup software never seemed to be quite what I wanted. I had this image of a program that graphically showed me all the versions of files that it contained and where I could simply click on any file to open it. Most backup programs demand that you do some kind of restore and you are never quite sure if you are going to lose your existing files.
During 2007 and 2008 my wife and I were in Cambodia doing some work for a NGO. I suddenly had a bit more time in afternoons and evenings and I started to think that maybe I could build that software that was at the back of my mind…
So I set out programming, looking for tools, creating a web site and all the things that need to be done when creating real software. I guessed the project would last a month or so… and here I am today, still going strong 
History Explorer was released over a year later and since then I’ve continued improving and marketing it.
In these articles I hope to share some of my experiences and thoughts related to software development and marketing software.
