Mathieu Jobin's Life and Thoughts

Hi everyone,

just to let people know I fix the help system, some might have wanted to email me but unfortunately it was broken for some time. this is now fix.

if you encounter any issue. please post your questions/comments into the help system.

for new users, please keep in mind justbudget has been thought as an "expense tracker". You write down what you spend and then it gives your a clear picture on your habits. When you see Starbuck in your top 5 popular locations with total spent amount of 2000$... you're thinking maybe I had prefer getting a new computer instead of this bad coffee.

happy budgeting

I kept it secret until today, but as some of you might know already. Justbudget has been translated in Japanese. I put the translation file on Oct 15th. If you see any mistakes, please submit them to me, I'll make sure it get corrected. And today I have another great surprise toward Japanese support in Justbudget. I finally fixed the 3dpie graph so it can display Japanese properly. I tried numerous attempt in the past year and I never could fine the proper combinaison to make everything work.

Probably the same bug was present with Chinese, Korean, etc. So the fix should do it for all. Unfortunately I can only test Japanese on my computer. So if you got category written in Japanese or any other Language, it should display fine in the flash chart.

Happy budgeting.

I just found this interesting article about how to create zero-based budget. Zero-based budget basically means that all your expenses should balance out your incomes, that the total of your incomes minus the total of your expenses must equal zero. Doing so requires you to create a category for every single dollar you win.

The idea is interresting. and Justbudget does that for you automatically. Justbudget creates a virtual category called Saving. So every dollar you are not spending goes automatically into this category. Just enter up all your income and expenses and justbudget calculate the whole thing automatically.

Justbudget also answers to the 3-reasons-most-budgets-dont-work. because justbudget does not ask you to guess what you are gonna spend but ask you to input your real data. with real data you get real information. So it does reflect reality. It does connect from one month to the next. and it does keep track the surplus money left over after all the categories are filled.

I am always trilled when I find such articles and I realize that my software solves those common design flaws already. Thank you for using Justbudget and send me comments so it continue to improve.

Today I am very proud to announce the immediate availability of justbudget in french and german. They are the first version of the translations so, they might need minor adjustments. If you got any comments or suggestion, please feel free to submit your thought as a comment to this post.

also if you have trouble accessing justbudget in your language, feel free to ask for it. it should be automatic according to your browser language setting. but in case you cannot access the french or german version. please ask.

if you think the idea is great and you would like to see justbudget in your own language, feel free to offer your help translating it in your own language.

also, I would like to offer my best thanks to the my translators who made it possible. its awesome to see the first translation live. please everyone offer them a round of applause.

and as a little surprise I got something else for you all. I created a forum for justbudget users. You can use it as you wish to discuss anything related with budgets, saving money and using my software. I created international forums for non-english discussion. I am gonna create more as it grows.

cheers,

Hello everybody, thanks for reading and thanks for using justbudget. It's very sad I don't have more time to put on this project because I really enjoy every minute I am putting on it. It became very pretty and very stable in my humble opinion. Well, at least I don't have much problem with it. If you do, you would tell me, right?

anyway, I'm posting this today to tell you about the recent changes that I made in justbudget.

Wo, it took a long time before I actually take the time to deliver this to the world. Sorry for the long wait. the Current justbudget was starting to show his age.

here is a quick list of what changed since the last version. I hope you gonna like the new version. I have put a lot of work into it. sorry it took so long, but I think it was worth the wait. In the future we will definitely see more regular and smaller updates. Bringing a new design along with Major features was just a lot at the same time for a single person.

I will appreciate every comments and questions you may have. you can post them here as comments or on the justbudget help page. Also make sure to tell me if you encounter bugs, problems or just annoying little things.

I'm very excited about this, please tell me what you think.
