Performance Chips

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

I just wrote a very very very simple site about performance chips. The pros and cons and the difference between performance chips, and hand held programmers. Its a test to see how well I can get this site ranked, and see if I can make any kind of a profit from it.

Take a look at Performance Chips

Would appreciate any feedback. My plan is to build several automotive related sites that are actually informative and bring in ad revenue.

CDA Food Website

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Here is a blog site that I just threw together for a guy. He just wanted a simple blog site so that he could review and write about Coffee Shops and Restaurants in the Coeur d Alene area. Its Called CDA Food.com. Can also be found by going to CDA Dining and Coeur d Alene Restaurant. The guy wanted me to make sure to tell everyone that he is a terrible writer.

If you are looking for an ultra simple blog site, let me know. I can get you a custom website design and hosting for just over $150. Of course, it all depends on what you want. I can get as detailed as you want, it all depends on how much you want to spend.

Recall Buddy

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

A friend of mine just launched a new website. Its called Recall Buddy. Recall Buddy is a recall notification system. It allows anyone and everyone to create a free account, and then enter in any products that they would like recall notifications for. Entering in products is a sinch. Simply type in the manufacturer and the product name ( make / model ) and if that product gets recalled, Recall Buddy will let you know.

Recall Buddy also provides helpful information for if you end up in a recall situation. The site is currently in beta stage and the owners are looking for feedback as to how to make the site even better. You can go there now and try it out for free. If you see something that can be improved, drop the owners a line by clicking on the Feedback link.

Kevin Kimpton Website

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

Im just wrapping up a simple but professional website for my accountant. Here is his site: Kevin Kimpton. Its a clean website, built from scratch. Kevin wanted a somewhat “outdoorsy” feel and so did my best to convey that but also make it look like a professional accountant website. I hope you all like it.

By the way, Kevin and his staff are very good at what they do. If you are looking for a certified public accountant than I highly recommend you choose the office of Kevin Kimpton. If you are looking for a custom website for your company, please let us know!

BigDump is awesome

Monday, August 11th, 2008

I have been trying to restore a MySQL database for several days. The database is fairly large (130M), and so my server complains whenever I try to upload it through phpMyAdmin. I have also tried just copying/pasting sections of the MySQL database into the SQL Query area, but doing that with a large database is about as fun as rubbing your eyeballs with sandpaper. Something always goes wrong when you upload chunks manually.

After doing some research, I came across BigDump. When you use BigDump to upload/restore a database, it only restores so many lines of mysql at a time so that the server never gets overloaded or times out. I could not believe how fast it had finished the job. It seemed like 2 minutes max. I had spent hours trying to get it to work before then.

To use BigDump, all you have to do is upload the file to your site. Its just a file called, bigdump.php. Then, enter in your database information and where your backup is located( you will have to upload your .sql file via FTP to your site ) and then click the start button. Its so simple. I highly recommend it for those of you out there that are having the same problems that I was.

New Husky Liner Site

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

If you are sick of staining the floors in your car or truck then look into getting a Husky Floor Mat. I just built a site promoting these products at Husky Floor Liners. These are the top automotive floor liner in the industry. Seriously tough mats. These Husky Liners trap the water, mud and snow from your shoes and keep it from spilling over onto your carpet. If you are looking for this sort of thing, please do me a favor and check out the information on my Husky Floor Liners website. The buy buttons from this site will take you to AutoAnything, which, from what I have researched has the best pricing on Husky Liners and Free Shipping.

Calypsos Coffee

Friday, August 1st, 2008

Check out the new design for Calypsos Coffee. The Calypsos Coffee site is run off of Wordpress. I’m enjoying building Wordpress driven sites more and more. Wordpress is designed completely using CSS/XHTML which makes it really easy for designers like myself to create a totally original website and offer a powerful CMS to my clients.
