Today is the 10th anniversary of Gaucho Software.\u00a0 I registered the domain gauchosoft.com on April 1, 2004 and after moving to Michigan a couple months later, I started building the website and getting to work on product development.<\/p>\n
Since then I\u2019ve developed several apps, writing hundreds of thousands of lines of code and creating hundreds of graphics in the process.\u00a0 I can\u2019t begin to count how many press releases I\u2019ve sent out.\u00a0 And I\u2019m proud to say Gaucho Software has participated in a number of fundraising efforts for worthy causes, from supporting the recovery after Hurricane Katrina and the earthquake in Haiti, to raising money to bring clean water to developing countries.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to believe it\u2019s been so long.\u00a0 Thinking back, my first development box was the then-brand-new liquid-cooled 2.5Ghz PowerMac G5.\u00a0 It was running OS X 10.3 Panther, and Xcode had just come out (previously it was called Project Builder, which I used to develop the first versions of XRG back in 2002).\u00a0 I suppose this is telling of the time that has passed.<\/p>\n
I wanted to thank everyone who has supported Gaucho Software.\u00a0 Thanks to the companies who have trusted me with their contract work.\u00a0 A big thanks to everyone who has purchased my apps.\u00a0 And a very special thanks to my wife, Katrina, and the rest of my family for their endless help and support.<\/p>\n
