Easily keep track of your vehicle

August 30th, 2007

Today’s world can be a dangerous place. Even just traveling a short distance can be dangerous if you get into an accident on the wrong stretch of road. And even if you have a cell phone, there is no guarantee that you’ll be able to tell emergency workers where you are after an accident.

But what if you’d installed a GPS auto tracking system which someone back home could use to find out exactly where you are if you went missing? Instead of waiting days for help, it could be almost immediate.

You could also use it to keep track of your teens, to make sure that they’re not going somewhere that they shouldn’t. I suppose you could also use it to keep track of where your car is, in the even that it’s stolen.

There are lots of possibilities.

Invest in the future, get a real server

August 30th, 2007

When you’re trying to run a business, getting a decent server setup can be expensive. For a really good setup, you cannot simply run down to the local computer store and pluck a desktop computer off the shelf to use as a server. It might work, for awhile, but that’s not what it was designed to do. Sooner or later you’re going to have problems.

That’s why you need to get something like a eServer i5 series computer. Yes, they can be a touch expensive, costing a several thousand dollars apiece, but when you’re working with critical data and you absolutely need to have your server up and running all the time, it’s an investment rather than a serious expense.

Just think about all the money you’d lose if your ‘homemade’ server crashed and died in the middle of an important project and you’ll see what I mean.

Thankfully, Performance Data Resources has all sorts of new and refurbished hardware available for your business to purchase. Whatever hardware (server, printer, etc.) your business needs, you’re likely going to be able to find it there at a reasonable price.

Logo creation can be easy

August 11th, 2007


Trying to create a logo for a new company or website can be a real hassle. What color? What shape? Can you even draw what you want to draw? I’ve done this logo thing before and it is not easy at all to create one from scratch.

Fortunately, you don’t have to design your own logo from scratch. LogoYes will help you create a custom logo in almost no time at all. They even let you try it out for free and if you like the logo that you create, you can buy various versions of it. If I were going to make a logo for my blog, it might look something like the example to the right. Even though just the logo costs only $99, I didn’t want to buy it just to show you in only one blog post, so you’ll have to click on the example to see the quick logo I made and the final screen.

It only took me about 10 minutes to make that logo (way faster than creating from scratch) and I was quite impressed by the selection offered. I could have easily spent a lot more time there in the careful creation of a logo since they have over 20,000 images to choose from.

And if I had wanted business cards, post cards or even more based off my logo, I could have chosen that as well. Not only do they have a lot of choices, but the price is also quite right as well.
