I’m Jerrald Hayes a long time Macintosh contractor. I’ve been in the trades since 1974, a contractor since 1985 and a MacUser since Wednesday December 11th 1991 @ 10:18pm. Yeah, I know the date and time because I saved the very first document I ever created and still have it today. (Just a note, the ‘Pete’ in that little pict refers to my brother Peter who I left the document for as a ‘Read Me Now’ on the desktop). Today in addition to contracting I’m primarily a business management consultant and software developer for the home and garden industry at Paradigm-360.com. You might want subscribe to the blog I have over there too: Quietly Re-Thinking Out Loud: Exploring New Paradigms for How We Manage What We Build.
Well anyway I’m trying to collect and build profiles of MacUsers and what kinds of software they are using to get things done for this little blog I have going here called Mac4Construction so that there is a good reference on the web for Macintosh Contractors to get ideas on what they can use to meet their needs and requirements coming from other Macintosh contractors. So if you’re a experienced Macintosh contractor I hope you’ll email me and tell me about your experience and experiences so that I can write a profile about you and what you are doing and I can link to your website which should help your positioning in the eys of the search engines too) So give me a call (914-301-5838) or email me (JHayes at Mac4Constuction.com) if you’re interested in being profiled.
While I’m obviously interested in hear about what you are using in the way of software for the big things like Estimating, Accounting, Contact Management, and Project Management I’m also really interested in hearing about the little tips and tricks and utility programs you use to improve your productivty and see what kinds of things make up the Macintosh experience for you.
If you can think of product we should have listed here please feel free to tell us about it so we can let all the other Mac contractors out there know about it and if your a Mac contractor tell us about yourself and we’ll write an article about you and post it here.
Looking forward to talking with you all soon.
