In my day-to-day SEO work, there are many sites I use that have a bunch of checkboxes on a single page. For example, in SEO, this is usually to check the box beside websites I want to trade links with. Well this gets tidious, so I went on the hunt for some kind of Javascript, Firefox-addon or mini-program that would do this with 1 click of the mouse.

Wooooo! It seems the big 1.0 has finally be released, and is out of beta. From the Magento Blog:

I’ve been watching the Magento e-commerce project for about the last month and a half - since Ben sent me a link to it. It’s an open-source e-commerce package, that primarily aims to pickup and improve where OSCommerce, Joomla + VirtueMart, and ZenCart have left off - streamlining a CMS (Content Management Sytem) and E-commerce shopping cart.

Although it was completely my fault, I’ve since learned from it, and now I’m sharing my tips here, so that hopefully other developers and SEOs can learn from my mistake of building inbound links too quickly.

I recently ran into some problems with our Linux mail cluster after a bad power bump. (Electricity. Hmph! Sooo 20th Century.) Apparently servers don’t enjoy it when you tell them it’s not working out and proceed to find more servers to fulfill your needs. After three cases of Dr. Pepper and several hours of interweb searching, here’s what I found out about the NFS implementation in Debian. It’s actually quite simple… honest.
