There is no question that in the game of chess, unless you have trained yourself in the strategy behind it, you have no chance of success against a sophisticated opponent. Marketing your business online, also requires strategy. However, most businesses usually build a website, without a good understanding of the strategy behind it. It is not hard to imagine why they are getting such poor results. In the game of chess, of course, the looser goes home and everything continues as it was. Unfortunately in the game of online marketing, your business has to live with the consequences of bad strategy. Read the rest of this entry »

Profit is all about value, but it’s not about value in the eyes of the person providing the product, but for the person receiving it, in other words, you can’t sell something at what you feel is the right value to you. You’re supposed to sell it at the right value for the person receiving it. It’s almost obvious but most people don’t do this when they’re starting their small business. In this post I will explain why. Read the rest of this entry »

Everybody has a bad day now and then. Specially when it comes to MySQL. Everything is working properly for days in a row, even for months. And then you make changes. You happen to like what Apple does. And so you upgrade to Lion, or you just like the fact that MAMP came out with their new version and so you decide to install it. Or all of a sudden, without any perceivable explanation, it just simply stops working. What then? Read the rest of this entry »

So let’s say that you want to be able to work locally setting up a website instead of having to make all the changes in a remote server. This is often the case with beginner website developers. We’ve all been there so don’t feel bad. The usual thing is that you more of less develop the site and now you are pushing it live via a FTP client. But all of a sudden you want to change something and now you see yourself in this sea of downloads and uploads and it is certainly not working anymore. Plus, there is definitely a faster way right? You are right my friend, there is. Read the rest of this entry »

Hi again everybody. This link is probably the most important of links for people out there doing more than the basics with Google Analytics. In other words, if you are just installing the code and then looking at reports and interpreting the information, this link is of little to no value for you. However, if you are looking into trying some custom segmentation, adding search engines, linking domains and sub-domains and advanced profiling Read the rest of this entry »

If you have every experienced a non-functioning computer, for example if you owned a computer with Vista, then you know how I felt today. I decided to update my Lion OS X 10.7.0 OS to the 10.7.1 version. I should’ve known that things don’t always go smoothly. I should’ve been a little more cautious, and at least done the upgrade on Friday afternoon. But the real problem is that I trust Apple too much. I trust that they are not going to disrupt my system. But what if they do? What if in your particular case, the upgrade happens to change your Mac in a way that breaks it. Perhaps you are experiencing it right now. The first thing you do is find another computer, iphone or iPad to start navigating potential solutions in Google. That’s how I started. However I ended up finding the solution after trying everything else out there on the web. Anyway, after trying many, and I mean very many, things and visited dozens of websites trying to find the solution, I finally found one. Here it is.
The problem:
When you update from Lion OS X 10.7.0 to OS X 10.7.1 you are requested to restart your computer. However, you may not be able to click on your username icon and log in. Another possibility is that you may be able to click on the icon, however you can’t enter your password. So you basically are stuck without being able to log in. One temporary solution is to log in via SAFE MODE. I am not going to explain how to log in with SAFE MODE in this post, however you may find plenty of references online.
Another problem is that you can’t soft restart or shut down your Mac so you end up having to restart by pressing the Power Button for 4 seconds. This doesn’t fix the problem either. Read the rest of this entry »

Quick little tutorial here. Let’s get to it. Let’s say that you have a Drupal website running in your web server in your Mac -for example with MAMP. And lets say that you have installed a couple of contributed modules manually or through Drush. However, the module developer found a bug and fixed and instead of updating the module itself, they decided to issue a patch for you to apply.
Now you may ask, that is great stuff, but how do I install the patch for that particular module? Don’t worry it is simpler than you may think. Read the rest of this entry »

For the past 10 hours I have been experiencing lots of problems related to my recent upgrade to Lion (Mac OS X 10.6). For some of you out there, it might have been as easy breezy as simply downloading and then hitting the button. For me, it has been an ocean of tears along the way both in my MacBook Pro and in my Mac Pro. The latest tears came from a Finder App problem. All of a sudden, my Finder started to crash and restart, crash and restart indefinitely. I tried everything under the sun. I thought at first that it had to do with the Trashcan as some blogs mention and tried absolutely everything including repairing permissions, restarting in Safe Mode, Command S, Command V and much more of all things. None of them worked. Read the rest of this entry »
