Personalize your holiday gifts

Are you someone interested in sending people personalized gifts? Pexagon now has great prices on personalized USB thumb drives in 14 colours!

A 1 GB thumb drive comes at $16.99, including laser engraving and security software. These are small, durable, and most definitely a wanted gift, especially when the price is about the same as those non-customized flash drives being sold at larger retailers. What’s best about this offer is that there are no minimums, free engraving on BOTH sides, a 1 to 3 day turnaround, and overall cheap prices!

Personalized Flash Drives are the best gift you could give your loved ones. You can:
1. Give them to a family member with pictures of their family
2. Give a personalized flash drive to the college student to keep them organized
3. Give one to coworkers and associates, include a Thank You Theme for their hard work
4. Give someone a flash drive with an e-book already loaded, for people like the readers of this blog
5. Give your customers a Holiday Gift with your corporate logo engraved on it
6. Give them out at Trade Shows and other events with your own branding

Personally, I think this is a better offer than the previous branded merchandise thing I blogged about; there are cheaper prices here, no minimums… the best combination for people like clubs and organizations doing fundraising. I’m sure that most people wouldn’t feel bad about spending $20 at a fundraising event for such a device; it’s not like they can get the same product AND contribute to the organization by buying it elsewhere.

If you really want to go for the large capacity, Pexagon also has a 4 GB customizable flash drive for $34.99. It’s much cheaper than most non-customized USB disks elsewhere, which may sell for as much as $50 CAD for one unit.

Cheap Domains

This is essentially an “awareness” post, letting you know of FreddyWare Web Services, another section of our organization in development. Its services include free cPanel hosting, cheap domain registrations/renewals/transfers, and free blogs (that one’s currently suspended).

I’d like to introduce you to the cheap and extremely affordable domain registrations. FreddyWare Web Services, as a reseller under an ICANN-accredited registrar, is able to provide .com, .net, .org, .biz, .name, and .us for only $6.50 USD. Other extensions, like .info and all .in domains, are on sale, as well.

Did you know that you can pay using PayPal, credit card (processed through PayPal), and other options like Moneybookers and E-gold (through our PayEngine integration system)? It’s true. Though PayPal is our preferred method, we will allow customers to pay using just about anything that we’ve integrated. (Please let us know if something goes awry.)

Furthermore, our domains actually come with FULL WHOIS control, and free Privacy Protection as well - you can easily click to hide your real name, address, and contact information to prevent identity theft or unwanted mailings. It’s up to you where you want to host your site, though by default, the nameservers of your domain are set to FreddyWare Web Services’ free hosting. You can choose Managed DNS, allowing for you to have control over every aspect of the DNS experience, from normal A, CNAME, MX, PTR records, to other things you probably wouldn’t understand. We also offer Domain Forwarding and Mail Forwarding, for those of you who don’t have the ability to use a TLD domain with your hosting (but you can switch to us!). Mail Forwarding will let you use your existing e-mail address as opposed to setting up an e-mail service at your domain. (We have cheaper - free - solutions, for that as well.)

Check out our awesome prices, at http://domains.freddyware.org .

100 free business cards

Surely business cards are important to every blogger; it’s nice to be able to simply hand someone your card, and say, “here… take my card, and visit my blog”.

Ooprint is making this extremely easy for everyone; with their new 100 FREE business cards offer and blogger card templates (that have a customizable tag cloud). There are templates for non-bloggers as well, and it’s extremely easy to customize the text you want, including a name, contact info, and all the rest of it.

Their “Business Cards 2.0″ features a coloured experience (blue, orange, and others) that can be generally matched to one’s preference.

It might seem too good to be true, and it might be: you pay the shipping, but that’s it. Free business cards for bloggers and alike… I’m going for it.

Do notice, though, that Ooprint has affordable, professional business card printing services as well. If you’re looking for a reputable service with good quality products, try Ooprint; I don’t think you’ll regret it. (However, $285.99 for letterhead might be a bit out of your price range. Still, don’t you think you should avail of the free or cheap business cards regardless of their other products?)

The standard size for their business cards is 9 cm by 5.5 cm, or 3.54 in by 2.17 in.

Interested? Go and get your 100 FREE business cards now.

Google Earth vs NASA World Wind

Surely this is not a new topic. I’ve been asked this many times: which is better, Google Earth or NASA World Wind? (A more accurate question is, which do you prefer, Google Earth or NASA World Wind?)

This post doesn’t talk about my opinion at all. It does, however, show you some cool things about each of them. The “more” link is below the video(s).

A Useful Tag: base href

If you’re coding in XHTML or if you’re creating a site in PHP, one of the pains is making sure that your relative paths are correct. Surely having to type in the full site URL is a pain, even though that would usually eliminate the relative paths problem; but instead of using
<link href="../../style/style.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" />
and trying to make sure that the above code works for every page of your design, you could simply utilize the easy and simple,
<base href="http://www.example.com/" />
tag!

Output Buffering in PHP

This article discusses output buffering and some things you can do using the ob_start() / ob_end_flush() functions in PHP. Particularly, it explains how to modify your (X)HTML output on the go using output buffering while utilizing our zlib.output_compression method mentioned in “PHP compression without ob_start“. (Strangely, that article was for not using ob_start, while this article is about using ob_start.) I also talk about some tasks you wouldn’t normally be able to accomplish without output buffering.
