The MadPilot Produtions office will be closed from the 24th of December until the 5th of January.
Whilst I'll be periodically checking that 88 Miles, I won't be checking email very regularly during that time, so by all means, continue sending any email, just don't be offended if you don't get a response until early 2009!
So have a safe holiday season, and I look forward to tracking your time in 2009!

Welcome to the December of edition of the 88 Miles newsletter! This month brings some cool updates
to 88 Miles, which I hope will make your lives just that little bit easier.
88 Miles tip
Did you know you can manually add shifts to a project retrospectively?
This is really handy if you forgot to punch in, or if you did some work away from you computer.
Just click the “Options” button,
select “Summary” from the drop-down panel and then click “Manually add a shift”.
New accounts
The biggest update this month is the introduction of the new business accounts. The business version
has been in beta for a couple of months, and it is now time for it to go live!
The pricing structure should cater for everyone — there is a price point for everyone from freelancers
to huge corporations — if you are interested in seeing how much is all costs now, goto
the pricing page. For those of you who were
business beta testers, you get a special surprise — you get access to the corporate version of 88 Miles
for free for the next 12 months (Value: $648!).
The other big news is that the free account has just become useful! The free account has no time limits,
and has no limit on the number of staff you can have. The only limit is you can only punch 40 hours per
month (so roughly 10 hours per week). As a result, those of you who's accounts have expired have been
un-expired — so login again and see what has changed!
Better reports
88 Miles will now generate graphs for project summaries and project staff summaries. If your have a
JavaScript enabled browser, you will be able get a visual representation of where your time is going.
To see the graphs:
- Pick a project
- Click “Options”
- Click “Summary”
- Click “Graph view”
Until next time...
Happy time tracking! (And remember to tell you friends!)

The 88 Miles team have been busy little beavers of the past couple of weeks, with a number of updates that rolled out over the weekend — the list is as follows (in reverse order of significance):
- Minor GUI updates: Fixed the lengths of text boxes on Macs and fixed some typos.
- Daily totals: You can now see the total hours you have worked for a company and on a project at the click of a button. Extremely useful if you switch betwen jobs all day
- Mobile Edition Beta: Access 88 Miles via your mobile phone! There are two versions, a WAP 1.1 for older phones and a WAP 2.x version for newer phones and PDAs. Currently you can only punch-in and punch-out from existing projects, but if there is enough interest in adding other features (such as adding companies and projects), We're all ears.
The URLs are:
- WAP 1.1: http://www.88miles.net/wap
- WAP 2.0/PDA: http://www.88miles.net/mobile
Business Edition Beta: Previously, if you wanted to use 88 Miles for all of you staff, you needed to created separate accounts with separate billing for each user, and there was no way of collating the time totals across users. Well no more! The business edition allows you to create staff members under one account, and to see summaries for all of those users, either separately or together. Interested? You can sign up for the free business user beta test group at http://www.88miles.net/pages/business
Phew! What a list. It's all part of our mission of keeping 88 Miles simple, yet making it powerful at the same time. As always, if you have any feedback, leave a comment below, or send as a message.
Happy tracking!

Good morning fellow time trackers!
We have been busy little beavers here at 88 Miles. We are working hard on the comporate edition, which will allow you to add and manage other users from one account - great if you own a small business and have a couple of employees you want to manage.
88 Miles has also been entered into the Western Australian Web Awards. Winners are announced on 18 August - fingers crossed!
88 Miles needs you!
We would like to ask you for a little help, in the way of a little feedback.
88 Miles has been kicking along for the past couple of months, so most of you should have had more than enough time to have had a good play.
If you can reply to the following questions (Either as a comment below or to myles@88miles.net if you want more privacy) we would be ever so grateful!
- How often do you use 88 Miles?
- What do you like about 88 Miles?
- What do you hate about 88 Miles?
- What features would you like to see?
- What features don't you use?
- Would you be interested in beta testing the corporate version of 88 Miles?
A BIG thankyou in advance.
