Sorry all, I was away from my main computer and a reliable internet connection while I was away in the Philippines. I didn’t have a chance to update my blog or really work on my existing projects. I have received a few requests for an affiliate template in Magneto, so guess I will finish that up, and get that out soon. I have really been working my Video making while I was abroad. I didn’t get much of a chance to review the footage in country, but now that I am back I can see alot of my filming mistakes. I did get in some poker games over there. it was nice to play some low stakes...

I am now running 3 Sites with Magento. Two are Traditional Shopping cart sites, but the my newest one had to be an affiliate style site. What I mean by an affiliate site is that when you click on the buy it now button you are taken to a 3rd party website to complete the sale. Magento does not do this out of the box, it took a long sleepless night for me to figure out how to do this. Not too many people are willing to share how they did this either. I have to thank Platinumtackle.com for their help. I will be releasing the template that I created to do this very soon. I need to test it some...

In continuing my Android Programming saga. On 6/10/2009 I started doing some of the samples on the Android Dev site. At first it was pretty easy, but soon the instructions starting using terms that I didn’t understand. It was now time go back to where I should have started and learn Java. I was soon following some beginner tutorial videos, but found the Videos really skipped the Meaning of certain terms and ideas. I needed a book. Tho I am generally not a fan of the For Dummies books, the Java for Dummies (4th ed) really helped clear up some confusion I was having. I was now able to...

I have been playing around with Magento for a while now. I have to say that I am pretty happy with it and I think I will be migrating my sites over to it. The site is a bit resource intensive, but I think my server will do for now. As traffic builds on my site, I will have be moving to a cloud. Bookmark It Hide Sites

I own over 30 domains and I have used several web hosts over the years.  I now still use more than one host just so I don’t keep all my eggs in one basket. My main host is 1&1 Hosting. They host the majority of my websites. They offer a great vaule and give me the rights to do what I need.  Their customer service is the only thing that is lacking, but it is getting better.  I have been with them for years and have had very little down time. I have been doing some testing on my 1&1 Hosting account with Magento. The site runs pretty fast, but I will be moving to a more dedicated...

We are just beginning to develop code for a ground breaking site. As much as I hate to say it, this site will be a web 2.0 styled site. The focus of the site will be Group Buys and Classifieds, but with a new twist. You will just have to wait and see. We were going to make a site that was very flashy and less functional, but smarter heads prevailed. We are predicting that the Alpha and Beta sites will be very plain graphically. The Plain approach worked for Craigslist and Myspace, we might as well try it. Keep an eye out for our press release, or Check back in a few weeks to see what we have added. The...
