One of the first things I had to learn when becoming self employed was how to charge for my consulting services.  Now when I first started consulting as a web designer and computer consultant in the late 90s, I simply stated an hourly rate I was comfortable charging with a given customer at that particular [...]

I recently started using Outlook 2007 with my Google Apps Premier for Business because I wanted to create an HTML Signature I could use in emails.
After getting it all setup, I noticed speed and high CPU usage of the Outlook.exe process.

I have worked with a lot of different CMS tools in my 10 years of working with computers – Wordpress, Joomla, Sharepoint, and even attempted writing my own CMS tool twice in the past.

I have come to love Nextgen [...]

I found a neat trick to integrate Cforms with Paypal.  It let’s you take info of any kind on your Wordpress website using a form you design, and then have the buyer forwarded to Paypal for payment completion once they submit the form (which is sent to you via email).  The trick is to use [...]
