Wedding Rosary Site
Sep 4th
We’ve finally gotten to the point where I’m happy to be pushing traffic to my wife’s new site. She makes rosaries for weddings and special occasions as well as some jewelry, we’ve been selling them for awhile now but didn’t have a nice site for it up till now.
http://www.myweddingrosary.com/
MyWeddingRosary.com is built using the Magento eCommerce platform, it’s integrated with Google Checkout and PayPal for payment processing. Piwik and Google Analytics (with conversion tracking) are both in use, since I like my stats! We’ve also got all products linked into the Google Base.
Advertising is now running for this site and I’m keeping a careful eye on the conversion ratio for both sales and leads. Wish us luck!
Quick Note on Meteor Server Permissions
Jun 25th
You don’t need root to run Meteor Server, it can be setup to run under a single user without sudo. If you are running it on the same machine as the website it is serving you also don’t need to run it on anything other then the default port and you’ll still avoid cross site scripting errors.
Good times!
Just a thought…

It’s been a long while since I’ve done any serious amount of writing, I think I’m going to go ahead and give it a shot and see how it goes. At the very least my wife would like it!
New Site: 10DollarBluRay.com
Apr 15th
Working on a new affiliate marketing project, http://www.10dollarbluray.com/
The purpose of this site is to locate low cost blu ray movies on Amazon, ordered by purchase rank. I obviously need to proper design and I’m working on adding a few extra features (search and a site map). Anyhow, take a look, feel free to let me know if you have ideas or questions!
Slacking
Nov 2nd
I really need to do some work with my CJ affiliate earnings. I’ve done basically nothing in the last three months and I wouldn’t mind boosting my earnings. WTH should help out with that, once it’s finished. :(

In the mood for tequila…
Mar 11th
Okay so I’m normally in the mood for some good tequila however, tonight/this morning, I’ve really been craving two very specific bottles, however I wouldn’t mind some of the third about now.
First we have La Pinta Pomegranate Tequila, which I’ve been craving for awhile but have been too lazy to go pick up or order.
The next is Tres Generaciones Anejo, which anyone who has been introduced to tequila by me has very likely had a taste of. It’s among my favorites and goes down smoothly even for those people who aren’t big on tequila.
I’ve only had this one twice Milagro Select Anejo tequila, super smooth tequila that’s just a little sweeter then most anejo’s I’ve tasted. Wonderful, a great tequila for special occasions, or the nights you want to get messed up – with class.
As my buddy Sambeano would say, “Goulet!”
Now, if you happen to feel like being REALLY REALLY kind to me and want to feed my habit, you could always send a bottle of Herradura Tequila Seleccion Suprema my way, I promise it won’t impede my programming for tooo long. I probably wouldn’t open it until I finish up with WhereToHost.net and get a few extra patches/additions out for my installer framework.
Where To Host
Jan 18th
I’ve been pushing forward on a personal project over the last two weeks or so, it’s called WhereToHost and I think it’s brillant. If you’ve heard me talk about it, you already know this, but what you may not know is that the initial beta system is ALMOST ready! I need some help though, would you mind?
Lots of my readers here are webmasters and programmers, you’ve encountered many different systems, scripts, and apps that you like working with. So here is what I need to know and how you can help me….
What PHP apps are your favorites? What scripts are so important that, you believe, this new site of mine wouldn’t be complete without?
Let me know in the comments and I’ll add the systems as they come in! Oh and if you get a chance you should read about my somwhat difficult choice, over on the news blog to the new site.
Love My Job
Jan 9th
I got off work at around 11:10 tonight and I left feeling satisfied and happy. I love this job!
That is all. =D
