Sign off documents online with OnlineSignOff

by Chris Gilmer Mar 19th 2007

Want to lose the paper trail and numerous steps involved with signing off documents? Try doing it online.

OnlineSignOff aims at taking the hassles of faxing contracts, and worrying about whether all parties have received a copy. By bringing the whole process online, OnlineSignOff hopes for a more straightforward secure solution.

The process is simple:

Start a new document.
Enter Title, Recipients name, email, and company name.
Write, or paste in body details of your Terms and Conditions.
If there is any file attachments required, browse and upload them.
Email to the client

When the client receives the document in their Inbox, they can choose to Decline or Accept the document with comments. The document than gets marked on your end that it has been accepted. The current beta limit is 30 documents per month.

OnlineSignOff is a great way to loose the paper trail, and have all signed off documents stored online. But what happens if OnlineSignOff goes down, or goes belly up? Just make sure you print out all necessary papers on signoff, unfortunately there is no way to export signoffs to any electronic formats. Stay tuned through, it's still in beta.

"lose" not "loose"

I just don't see the value in this. How many times does someone receive a document for signature. Anyway, this sign off would not be legally binding.

Something like Approvr seems much more useful. Collaborative commenting on documents.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
