In order to register, you must have a registration code. I’m regulating the speed of how many people sign up so I can make sure I scale properly. But if you have a burning need to try out sendVee, and you are going to be nice, you can send me a message at @sendVee.
1. Get your code:
2. Go to the login page:
This is your sendVee login, not your Twitter information.
3. Once registered, you can add your first Twitter account.
4. Once you add an account, your will see you settings. Limited right now, these features will be ungrayed and useful very soon.
5. Now take the sendVee custom email address, and add it to your Twitter account. This is necessary to intercept the Twitter emails and give them more meaning and functionality.
6. Here is an example email you will recieve. Just reply to these emails if you want to follow back. Now you can choose how many status updates you receive in your email. 1, 5, 10, 15, or 20. That’s the whole first page! Now that’s awesome.
7. Similarly, simply reply to dms to reply back.

I’m getting ready to move to a better server, I just wrote this list about things I want to upgrade. We’ll see how we do in the next couple of days. :)

It is Tuesday, March 17th, 2am. First, happy St. Patrick’s day. It is also my daughter’s birthday.
But what I’m writing about is that the time I was able to devote to Sendvee today ended up being quality time. Another couple days of this, and we will be in closed pre-Alpha.
If you missed it, I posted a twitpic of my release schedule:
So far so good. Sign-up process is nearly complete. As well as finishing the core functionality, step 1. Just a few loose ends to tie up on each. When I have just that, I’ll start letting some people in while I continue to finish the core functionality, step 2.
I do still have the issue of the server I am working on. The server I am on now is Dreamhost shared hosting which goes down quite often. Brent Spore (@iboughtamac) has offered to help me with server space, and we are trying to work that out. His server runs PHP 4.3 and I need 5. Hopefully it will all get worked out.
After that, the sky is the limit. I have a huge list on paper of what I’m going to do, but I just need to get these core pieces out, and organize what comes next by what you guys want.
I can be honest with you all, right? Great. The core functionality is basicly what topify and twimailer do. If that is all I was going for, I could have been finished just after the first weekend of coding this. But Sendvee is going to do so much more, it’s just silly to think about. [But the irony is, right now, I can't really think about it, or I'll want to code it in, and then I won't get the core done. You see where I'm going with this?]
Ok, enough rambling. Time to sleep so I can do it all over again tomorrow, only awesomer.

That fact that you are reading this is a minor miracle.

DreamHost shared hosting blows chunks. It’s not bad for my blog and other experimental projects that can go down once in a while. (and by “once in a while” I mean several times a day)
But Sendvee needs to be up all the time. Problem two, I have no income right now or I would get a dedicated server which would largely resolve this problem.
Here is how you can help. What I need is a server. If this means donating one, or even sharing one with me that you already have, that would be awesome. If that means you want to support the project financially, that would also be awesome and I will make it worth your while. I have thought’s on how this would work, but let’s talk. I’ll make it cheap.
Can you do any of these things? One? Both? Somewhere in the middle?

I’m going to try to do some video updates regularly. Basically, I am trying to get Sendvee into Alpha. And that’s about it. :) Oh, and I built this blog today.
