Freshbooks
So I am getting busier and busier, as I keep helping more and more people use the web, and helping different folks get their businesses on the web. So I have been using this company called Freshbooks, for invoicing and it has been working great. Check them out here http://freshbooks.com and let me know what you think. I’ll do a few more posts in the near future of other applications that I have been using to help make my life just a little bit easier…

If you notice any problems, or see anything that looks a little strange, let me know, so I can be sure to report the problem.

Worm running around attacking Wordpress Sites Everywhere
So I was doing some reading today and noticed that there is a worm out attacking wordpress sites. It appears that Version 2.8.4 is not vulnerable, so was the version before but I would go around and check your Wordpress if you are using wordpress and make sure that you are atleast 2.8.3 but I think 2.8.4 would be even better. And check your friends sites too make sure they have upgraded…
This article explains this problem more, and will give you more information in you are interested.
OSX Broken Pipes
So I have been working on fixing John’s computer this morning and the solution to the problem was much easier then people were making it out to be, so I wanted to write out these steps so that next time John has this problem, it will be much easier to fix.
So the problem that John was having is that his computer somehow got corrupted or something and it wouldn’t allow him to install any DMG files. So after doing research the solution was to install a patch, but that patch is provided in DMG format, which he can’t open. So the solution. Reboot the problem computer, hold down the T key upon reboot so that it will start up the hard drives but not the OS. Then connect a working computer to this computer via FireWire cable. And then open the dmg file that can’t be open, then move the PKG file that is within the DMG file, and put it on the broken computer. Then reboot the broken computer, and then run the PKG file.
Then after the broken computer runs the PKG file, it will probably reboot a few times, but then it will be working again. So this is my brief solution on how to let a computer that can’t open DMG files to open DMG files.
Hosting provider
I have now entered into the world of being a hosting provider. I have been hosting several sites for a while, but just recently decided that I should start doing my own hosting. So I am still working out some of the kinks, and will start adding some new pages here in the next few days talking about my hosting opportunities, and how I can serve the people who want me to host their site for them. But I just wanted to put this note out there letting people know that I now can provide hosting.
