Understanding Online Signatures: What are Identification and Authentication?

Businesses are moving more and more of their customer transactions onto the web. Essentially they are doing business with consumers in a completely electronic environment where legally binding contracts are being agreed to and e-signed online through faceless interaction.

Web Development

Chat Software

If you are creating or developing an application or service that will have an online presence to it then, these days, you really should be considering adding live chat functionality to it. No matter what defines the target audience or market that the website is aimed at, providing a quick and easy form of communication with live chat software will be one of the features that can ensure that visitors to the website both engage with it and are encouraged to return to it.

Web Design

Basically web design always includes the navigation on a website, the pages and the layout. Having a good, fresh and appealing website design is very important for a website in these days. Customers love websites which are user-friendly, easy to understand and easy to navigate on. If you decide to create your own website you should think about the target market and the audience who should visit your website. Besides this it is also important to define the purpose and think about the content which will be published on your website.

What will be the effects of the iPad?

In January 2010 Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced one more product of its very successful i-products. A tablet computer called iPad. It was released in April 2010 in the US and is already available in other countries as well.

But the iPad was by far not the first tablet computer. Apple started development of a touch based mobile device in 1987 and released the MessagePad in 1993. There were many other tablet computers during the time between the MessagePad and the iPad but none of them was very successful. A very interesting one was EMC’s WiiN-Pad which gave you the option to use a stylus, a finger or a virtual keyboard.

US is the new India

Now this is an insightful comment from a US client this morning :-)

Good for you that your are expanding.

You should think about outsourcing to the United States or hiring the 6 th person overseas. The US is the new India for the EU economy J

Instead of hediging via bank’s instruments (and paying them big $$$ for that which I’m still trying to setup)

I could try just hedge via labor cost ….

nice idea and obviously with work-laws in the US a lot more flexible than currency options running for 3/6/12 months :-)

hmmm.. your 2c ?

Wordpress blog hack rampage

I received an abnormal high number of signals and messages from people abandoning their Wordpress blogs,

because of their hacks, just like Fridaynite did .

It appears to me that simply because there are so many vulnerable Wordpress installations out there, it became a promising goal

to hack Wordpress installs and

  • inject some HTML code (for links)
  • inject WHOLE POSTS into the wordpress archives (backdated)
  • put in some cookie-stuffing code in to overwrite affiliate links’ credits

Drupal

Drupal6 is here - why we're not upgrading...

So DRUPAL6 was released last week finally – this is the GO for all module developers (like us) and heavy drupal users (like us)

to set aside their “normal” business (which is NOT drupal maintenance, consulting or else) and plan for DOZENs of hours and days

to upgrade all their sites…

Frankly,

we are running DRUPAL 4.x sites

we are running DRUPAL 5.x sites

and we will be running the new company site for cemper.com on Drupal 6 soon (postponed launch for DP6)

BUT, I will not and cannot commit to an upgrade mania solely to generate work and say we’re running recent versions

Finding replacement ink cartridges online.

It's hard to imagine that anyone with an inkjet printer hasn't at some time had their printer run out of ink, only to find themselves without a replacement ink cartridge.

Whether you are using your computer only for private use or as part of your business this can be a really frustrating experience. At best not having a replacement ink cartridge might mean you can't print some information off the internet; or at worse if you're a business user you might not be able to process a letter to seize a business opportunity. You will then not only have to spend money but also waste your precious time shopping around to get your replacement ink cartridges. The convenient way to get replacement ink cartridges today is, of course, to do it online.

Domain Registration in Kiribati - $1,299.48 per year, Sir!

Now I guess at least one of you guys will find this highly uninteresting, but for the others,

I just realized that folks in Kiribati must be high on something for asking $1,299.48 for a domain name…

I mean cemper.ki doesn’t sound bad, but it doesn’t sound too good also… so why spend $1,299.48 on that per YEAR?
