It has just been a long, stressful month. I need a beer.

I found a very interesting and useful piece of code at 3DM Design which allows you to select all checkboxes on a webpage. I found this particularly useful for a leads website that a customer of mine uses.

A big shout out goes to Scott at 3DM Design, as it saved us probably 2 - 4 hours of work. Thank you Scott!

Below is a video that I helped film quite a few years ago (end of ‘03) for our highschool video yearbook. I filmed the introduction up until the main character leaves the house.

A couple points of interest:

• We used a steady cam for most of the introduction
• We slowed the song down by about 35% when filming so when we put it back to 100% it would flow differently.
• It took about 20 to 30 takes all together to get a quasi good-looking introduction.
• There is a lightsaber fight scene, this was recorded in summer of ‘02 I belive.

I have created a tutorial explaining what I had to do to get MooTools Accordion working on my website. Their demo code is for a basic website, so I had to throw in my troubleshooting skills to get it working. Please read the tutorial if you are at all remotely interested as it may give insight to issues it seemed a lot of people have been having.

This past week I have been busy going to customers places of business to help them with their computer and network issues. This has been one of the most busy weeks I have encountered in a while, but it seems to be a continuing trend. This is good, but stressful at the same time.

On my free time, mainly at late hours of the night, I have been working on my web development. One of my project sites , Geek!Coders, consists of web software that I have developed in PHP. The project that I am proud of, although it is not near its first release, is my piece of software entitled “phpZipDir“. Live demos can be found at my niche directories IT Consultant Directory and Gutter Directory. I want to focus more of my time developing my phpZipDir project so that I can get in into first release stages and hopefully detract some users from the competition.

Another item I have been working on is Search Engine Optimization (SEO). I have applied some basic SEO techniques to most of my websites and my client websites.

Here is a list:

• DotResolve Consulting
• Geek!Coders
• IT Consultant Directory
• Gutter Directory
• National Rain Gutters
• Henry’s Parts Depot

I understand there is a multitude of factors that go into SEO which can help you get a better placement within Google, but there is no way to guarantee results. There are many companies who make a living by saying they guarantee number one results in Google for only USD$1500/mo! I have saved at least one of my customers the trouble of spending that sort of money for no guarantees.

Personally I have a decent track record with getting higher rankings in Google (and the other search engines) for most of the websites I work on. I am planning on offering SEO consultancy as one of my services in the near future. I can guarantee it will not cost you USD$1500/mo. but I cannot and will not guarantee you will get a number one search ranking on Google. I can get you close to it though!

Anyway, that is my update / rant for the day.
