If you incorporated in the State of Delaware, March 1, 2008 is the deadline to pay 2007 franchise taxes. The deadline for LLCs & LPs is June 1, 2008. Last year, I formed two C corporations and have already paid my 2007 franchise taxes, nice!
I have sold several domain names, but still have over 180 in the portfolio! The goal is to lower the number of registered domain names to approximately 40-50. I recently listed CutestLatinas.com on eBay and plan to list another 28 this weekend.
The domain name CutestAsians.com recently sold on eBay for $502 USD, so I listed the CutestLatinas.com domain for a starting bid of $199. I hope to sell the balance of the domain names before they expire, else I will have to pay renewal fees again!
If you are interested in CutestLatinas.com or any of the following domain names, just let me know:
After numerous attempts to realize two personal projects, I am pleased to announce that design and development for Ranthead.com is going strong. The project is a social messaging application. Yep, another one of those sites!
Over the next several months, I will post project updates with relevant previews. The requirements definition and project scope phases were challenging, but those hurdles have been overcome and it is time for heads down software design!
Lastly, I am searching for a dynamic, passionate, and creative graphic designer to help me develop the brand identity. If you have experience in identity and user interface design, please contact me to discuss the project requirements.
The highly anticipated bout between Anderson Silva and Dan Henderson is days away. I did not order the previous UFC PPV event, because of the LAME cards. However, UFC 82 Pride of a Champion appears to be an event worthy of the $39.95 plus tax price.
Let me rephrase that another way. I am looking forward to seeing Anderson Silva beat Dan Henderson. I am not excited about the Herring and Kongo fight or seeing Tanner again. Tanner’s days are numbered and Herring is heading down the same path.
It is a shame that both the Koscheck and Diego Sanchez bouts are on the untelevised preliminary card. I would prefer to see the Koscheck and Diego bouts instead of the Herring, Tanner, or Chris Leben bouts. $39.95 does not sound like a deal now.
If you are an Apache user you are familiar with the mod_rewrite extension and its URL manipulation capabilities. Well, IIS has lacked URL rewriting capabilities for many years until now. IIS 7.0 includes the Redirect Engine module, nice.
What do you do if you want an alternative to the IIS 7.0 offering? Well, I use 3rd party extensions to provide the URL rewriting function. There are many rewriting extensions available, including URL Rewriter from Managed Fusion.
Managed Fusion released version 1.3.1 of their URL manipulation engine on February 1, 2008. Options, options, options. Always nice to have technology options available to us and this is no different. The URL Rewriter works great!
First, I have to reiterate that I HATE Vista. Every operation requires confirmation and it is a resource HOG! Rest assured I will install XP Pro on this notebook, but for now the P.O.S. operating system will host a PHP/MySQL development environment.
Anyway, this post is not about Vista. Instead, it is about running MySQL 5.0 on Vista. I discovered the config. utility (MySQLInstanceConfig.exe) would not run due to a typo in the executable manifest.
This is a documented bug that is scheduled to be fixed in an official update. I am not going to wait until the update is released, so I downloaded Resource Hacker and fixed the manifest information.
Ten minutes well spent. The config. utility executable is patched and runs on Vista. If you want to fix the manifest yourself, follow the instructions below (screen shots are on their way):
I have installed PHP on previous version of Windows with no problems. The IIS Manager 7.0 interface is significantly different than IIS 6.0, so I was expecting a challenge. I am happy to report that it was fairly straight forward and it worked the first time.
The steps are as follows (I will add screen shots soon):
I did not pay to watch the b-o-r-i-n-g cards on UFC 81 Breaking Point. The past events had great cards, but this event looked like a loser when it was announced on the UFC website.
I saw Tim Sylvia dance around at Arco Arena and his performance was lame, that alone was a deal breaker. Also, bringing Brock Lesnar from the WWE was another hype to sell tickets to the event, whatever.
Tim Sylvia lost his bout, Brock Lesnar lost his bout, and I saved $39.95 … priceless!
I am back online and ready to resume blogging. My primary HP laptop suffered a power failure, so I was without a computer for a couple of days. I purchased a new HP laptop and am back online. I have several drafts in the queue and will publish as needed.
