I’m not saying that ipadawe.com is a scam, but after I search “scam ipadawe.com” on Google and tried it out myself, I found it is something similar to myfanbox ( fanbox.com ) — they require you to give up all your address book before you can continue. The interface is very misleading. Continue reading “ipadawe.com myfanbox fanbox.com scams?” »

It is amazing to find so many people or companies are starting using PHP frameworks such as Symfony, phpCake, or Zend Framework only in order to create their own CMS systems. I’m not saying that these PHP frameworks are no good, but I am talking about how to efficiently develop a great Web application or CMS (content management system) or a business Web site, corporate Intranet with the best available resources.

Didn’t know that on January 5, 2011, Drupal 7 was officially released until yesterday when I checked out Lynda.com’s tutorial on Drupal 7 New Features.

I’ll definitely use that for our company’s intranet site.

With Google TV, you can get the best of the two worlds, the TV and the Web!

But sometimes, we just want a bigger screen or want to recording the shows available via the Web onto our DVR or DVD recorders( the ones that connects with the TV box.)

Finally, I’ve found a really good online classroom that really helps people to blog about their special interests and make a living from home.

I’ve been building Web sites for others since 1996, but never thought seriously how to use my own Web sites or blogs to make big money. I only did mine as a hobby. Well, there’s nothing wrong about that as I can also work as a certified Professional Internet Marketers and Web developer, which may still find a big market. I do enjoy working from home very often as I take care of the kids.

Recently I went to some Web success seminar which reminded me that we can make more money in a more efficient way. They showed me their bank account and the real income from the affiliate marketing commissions, as much as 10,000 a month. They are willing to teach you how they did it. However, at the end of the seminar, they wanted to sell you training (valued at $52,000) for $1,600. I would buy it if I didn’t find this better Blog Success 2.0 Online Classroom.

Google Chrome is the fastest web browser that runs web pages and applications with lightning speed. Now the great news is that you can run it from your USB or run it as a green application on your computer, thanks to the efforts of PortableApps guys.

If you are using Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and up or Mac OS X, you should really try this Chrome web browser. Not convinced? Read Chrome vs Firefox 3.6 vs Safari vs Webkit: Chrome Wins Again!

For Windows users, it is much easier for you now.

First you need to go to http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/google_chrome_portable to download it and install it on your computer. (Sorry, Windows version only)

Then you may copy the whole folder (default name “GoogleChromePortable”) to your USB drive or another folder on another drive if you want two copies if you want to them side by side.

Why do you want to run two different copies of Chrome side by side? For me, I have two reasons:
1) I need to log into two different Gmail or Google accounts at the same time to keep me constantly updated;
2) I may need to try out different Chrome extensions for different copies of my Chrome browsers. I may want a light copy of Chrome will none or very few extensions for the fastest speed.

The people at PortableApps are great. If you appreciate their efforts, you should donate at http://portableapps.com/donate

The portable tools and apps are green because they leave no foot prints in the system registry. If you don’t like the application, you can just delete the folder or only keep it in your USB drive so that you can take it anywhere.

I love this portable Google Chrome because I need to take it with me and I have been trying to run multiple incidents of Chrome with different cache, extension pool and configurations.

Being a Chrome extension developer, I found it very useful in my development and testing.

Being a professional SEO and Internet Marketer, I love the SEO Chrome extensions that are available, even in my USB drive.

For Mac users, you can go to Google Chrome Portable (Chromium) 3.0.195 for Mac | Google Chrome Portable 4.0.212.1 for Mac. The good thing about it is you can test your web site with two different version of Chromes.

Moving to Dublin made me lose lots of major free-to-air TV stations because of the signals blocked by the mountains of the valley. My TV antenna only gets me Channel 36, Channel 54 and a couple of Spanish channels.

I really do want to put in some money for the dish TV or Comcast or AT&T subscriptions that I do not have much time to enjoy. I just need some local and international TV news and that’s all. So I turn to Internet TV.

As many of my friends know,  I helped the first Chinese Online in Silicon Valley DingDing.TV to build the web site. I really hope that in Dublin or Tri Valley, we can have some community channels online like this one

http://midpenmedia.org/watch/stream/ which enables to watch 5 channels of local community channels online (Channel 26 to 30 from Palo Alto MC Media Center).

To watch CCTV Chinese programs online, we can always go to http://www.cntv.cn which requires you use Internet Explorer and install the require some plug-ins, but the result is pretty good with some clear pictures.

Another way to watch TV stations around the world online is to install the toolbars such as http://livetv4pc.tv/.

As everybody knows, SAS is a great tool for clinical study and financial analysis. When I was working with Kaiser Permanente ( http://kp.org ), we helped the business team do great web traffic analysis with SAS. I started this post because I want to explore more potential using SAS as web traffic analysis.

Google Analytics does give us great traffic reports but you may create some great reports once you have SAS data sets from your traffic logs on your web server.

Shin Shin Training Center (Shintraining.com) offers great SAS training in San Francisco Bay Area, their new classes begins on 3/21/2010. Check it out. They have very experienced teachers and they are also an official locale for SAS certification tests.  They are a few that can guarantee 100% pass exams for Certified SAS Base Programmer, Certified SAS Advanced Programmer. Their programs do not just give SAS training but also real life data analysis and interview experience and skills with real life projects.

Classes taught in English, but you may ask questions and got them answered in Chinese too. After all, if you don’t know English, which companies you can work for in the US.

Stay tuned, for our SAS series articles.
