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!
While merging a maintenance branch into a trunk, I found that a senior “consultant” checked in both .NET framework and project assemblies into source control, what the *!@#$%^&
I am amazed that many software consultants do not understand the basic principles of source control. Is source control knowledge and experience too much to expect from a software consultant?
Also, why do so-called “experienced” source control users append a version or date to documents checked into source control? The source control software versions the documents. Arggh!
I am continuing my research on PHP-based frameworks and other subjects, including performance tuning, caching, etc. I found a couple of presentations on the PHP.net site that I am interested in reading, but IE is NOT supported!
I am not tied to Internet Explorer and as a matter of fact, I use both IE and FireFox, but imposing such a requirement to view HTML-based presentations seems excessive considering IE accounts for 80% +/- usage share.
No problem, I can find documentation, resources, and related material elsewhere. I will not be forced to change browser, just to read two (2) year old material. Add to blacklist!
I planned to list some of my domain names on eBay tonight, but forgot it was 10 cent listing day. Any other time, I would have listed the items, but I noticed the squatters are dumping their domain names today.
I will wait a couple days and let the junk clear out, so I will have a better chance of selling my domain names. Don’t get me wrong, there are some worthy domain names on sale, but their numbers are small compared to the junk.
You know the junk … trademarks, dashes, numbers, internationalized names, etc. If you buy domain names on eBay, you know what I am referring to in this post. Check back for an update.
Why do sellers insist on opening brand new items and removing them from the package to ‘check the contents’ or ‘photograph’ the items? It amazes me that sellers believe it adds value to the listing or item.
If I am buying a gift, I want a brand new factory sealed product period! I am confident that the factory sealed products will include all of the items, so there it no reason to open the package.
Additionally, I know what I am buying, so I do not need pictures of the item. I suspect these so-called brand new items are open-box returns, promotional items, or in some state other than new.
I have contracted several freelance designers to develop logos and website templates for both a software company and microblogging site. The experience and deliverables have been nothing short of horrible.
Problems span an extensive spectrum ranging from poor communication, methodology, customer service, up selling, product quality and delivery. Is this what I should expect from freelance designers?
I am still looking for a designer to help me realize a couple of projects, but I need to be diligent on my end. I have to ensure that I select the right designer and I mitigate the risk of wasting money on another failed project.
Below is a logo concept for EntityWorks, Inc. a software company:
