Deal Ferrets is a site for users to submit deals, hopefully it will take off. I think the hardest part of starting a site like this is seeding it and getting the first lot of users. Without the users it’s … Continue reading →

Redundancy Pay

Nope, I’ve not been made redundant, I’ve made another calculator It’s a redundancy pay calculator. Hopefully in this climate it will be useful to quite a few people. I was quite surprised and happy the domain statutoryredundancy.co.uk was still available as it’s an exact match for 22 thousand searches a month at the moment. I’ll add a few more related pages to it later, pages related to job sites, CVs and the like.

After reading this post I did a keyword search for bras and I noticed there were a lot of searches for “how to measure your bra size”, “bra size calculator”, et al, so, I made a Bra Size Calculator

config.php file tip

A lot of scripts will have a file called config.php or something similar that holds all the database connection info, site path and other bits and bobs like that. For years I’ve done something along the lines of, creating a copy of the config file, calling it configs and changing all the database information from my local machine to match the settings of my website, uploading all the files and then using FileZilla to change the name of configs to config. Easy to do but a bit time consuming and annoying and I thought there must be a better way and I came up with this:

if($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == ‘localhost’){
// db settings for local machine
}
else{
//db settings for website
}

I also do the same with stats code, put it in a function and call the function where the stats code should be. This stops stats from being contaminated with hits from when I’m developing.

Actually Doing Stuff

admin — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 15:04:56 +0000

For years now I’ve had an interest in Internet Marketing but appart from the odd dabble here and there, which fizzled out pretty quickly, I’ve never really put to use anything I’ve learnt. I’ve read all the blogs Shoemoney, Coppyblogger, Self Made Minds, etc. I also have quite a collection of undeveloped domains, which I’ve had ideas for websites and buying the domain is as far as I’ve got.

Now I’ve decided to put theroy into practice and actually start doing stuff. No matter how small the actions are, I figure it’s better than doing nothing and lots of small actions will add up to something big. This blog is to document my Constant Actions.
