Review : Simplehelix, the fastest shared web hosting

Review : Simplehelix, the fastest shared web hosting

November 16, 2009  |  Blog, Tech Tip

If you find fast and quality server for your customer satisfaction even though your very tight budget, I recommend Simplehelix . My top 3 clients are all using their service. (Of course they have dedicated server plan)

Pro :

  1. Fast speed and fine quality. When I use e-commerce software(especially Magento-commerce), I experienced overall 3 times faster than 1and1′s. When you exceed some limitation(customer at same time, number of product, comlexed Database query …), 1and1 even could not control its basic controls.
  2. Response is fair. Regarding simple problem on php or system parts, fixing on their side. It’s really continence for me.

Cons :

  1. Unsettled server management. I found several times that server was not working.They say “it’s on fixing” or “Expanding epuipment”.
  2. Less traffic. I gives only 5G traffic per month.

But I couldn’t find an alternative idea of Simplehelix when I developing a performance website.

POS system and Ecommerce Integration

September 1, 2009  |  Blog, Tech Tip

I have been in charged with several framework sized projects.
Through ERP(Enterprise Resource Management) to POS(Point Of Sales) System, in real world, knowing their inventories and accounting are most important thing for both checking business status and predict their further expense.

What is the POS?

POS refers to both a checkout counter in a shop, and the location where a transaction occurs. Colloquially, a “checkout” refers to a POS terminal or more generally to the hardware and software used for checkouts, the equivalent of an electronic cash register. A POS terminal manages the selling process by a salesperson accessible interface. The same system allows the creation and printing of the voucher.

What did I do?

One of my customer asked me that is there a good way to know his exact inventories and sales.
Of course there was! Here, If you running actual store and your product has countable goods, I absolutely recommend the POS system. POS is not simple to build up from scratch but luckily, I could find the best system for her from package. Many traditional accounting software companies(like Microsoft and QuickBooks) provide POS package. I could utilize the basic package of them, build up base work and added web integration interfaces.

What can we expect?

1. Fast and accurate inventory management
(Using Bar-code printer and reader. You will know inventory defect)
2. In-house Database (very secure)
3. Less cost in Multi-store management (centralized)
4. Less cost in website management (powerful interface)

Probably do not recommend in

1. Very small material product business – Hard to put product tag
2. Too little human resource but products come very often and a lot but never come again.

Macbook Pro 13″ with 128GB SSD

July 4, 2009  |  Blog, Tea Time

Last week, I dropped Edward, my first Macbook. So sad.
But today, New Macbook Pro has been arrived.
I introduce Edward Jr., my new Macbook Pro, to you.
And there is a little customizing – a Solid-State-Drive instead of a Hard Drive.

# SPEC
Processor : 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
L2 cache : 3MB shared
System bus : 1066MHz
Memory : 4GB DDR3 SDRAM
Hard drive : 128GB SSD
Graphics : NVIDIA GeForce 9400M
Battery : Up to 7 hours
Etc : FireWire 800 port, SD card slot
Weight : 4.5 pounds (2.04kg)

It’s good.
Actually, SSD option gave me more than my expectation.

- Speed
Compare to my old Edward(Macbook 2.4GHz, 2GB DDR3 SDRAM, 250GB HDD), I feel triple fast its boot up and shut down, four times fast handling heavy application and files.

Okay, for example, it’s only taking 18 sec for OS X start up and 2 sec for Adobe photoshop CS4 start up. Only minus thing is it has small storage for its high price.

- Noise
There are no noise because he has no moving parts.

- Energy efficiency
Previous Macbook, I can use about 2 hours with its battery.
Now, according to official website, new model supports 7 hours use. I don’t believe it but I expect at least 4 hours of running time. (photoshop, dreamweaver, internet, documentation, music)
Instead, it lost changeable battery system.

“THIS IS IT”.
