Tomas Vera's Web SiteI see that this is your first visit to this page. I started this site simply to register my name, before somebody else did. I figured it would be a good idea to own my name on the internet. So I figure I'd just drop some info about me on this site. The two sentence summary of me is pretty simple: If you want to read more about my professional life, Click Here. The LatestGoDaddy Woes - Updated! (2010-02-15)
I've updated my GoDaddy Hosting Woes page. Testing some SEO stuff here I'm trying to test some SEO stuff on a windows backup page. I'm not sure how well this will work, but worth a test. The GPL and You I was pondering the GPL the other day and I became cusrious about my responsibilities and requireemnts. After some Googling, I came across this article:Public License Explained. It's worth a read. Especially if you are worried (or just curious) about your responsibilities/requirements under the GPL. Updated MySpace HTML Basics Page Some people have found my Link Basics page to be useful for getting their MySpace profile looking good. Check it out! Best of Vim Tips Those of you who know me, know that I use a text editor to do a lot of my text-editing (duh!). Heck, I spend half the day with a DOS box/ Command window open on my desktop. If your entire professional life has been spent in front of the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE (Integrated Development Environmtent) then you probably won't be able to relate to this. But, here goes... The best VIm tips page that I've found is David Rayner's Best of Vim Tips. I spent a few hours looking for this page again (I had moved several computers since I last bookmarked this page) and finally found it again. Im using VIm to blast through some IIS log files and do some analysis of visitors to the site at work. (BTW, I'm using VIm to update this page as we speak!) Tomas In The Navy
For those of you that have not heard my sea-stories yet.... If you'd like to see some "snaps" from back in the day, just visit the Tomas In The Navy page. I've included a photo of the Taj Mahal hotel which has made the news recently due to the violence in Mumbai (formerly Bobmay), India. Header Test Page Updated One of the more popular pages on the site is the Header Test page in the PHP section. On that page, I discuss how to parse form and query string submissions using PHP. The web guys will know what I'm talking about!
The whole ugly, grisly affair is described in excruciating detail here. It took some blood sweat and tears, but the site is finally up and running. Unfortunately, it's a private, members-only site and I can't point you to it. But trust me, the work was worth it. FootLocker Europe Here's one that I can tell you about: a site I helped develop for the folks at FootLocker Europe. It is an e-Commerce site built using MS Commerce Server 2007. The best part, though, is that this site has a special customer service feature that allows you to manage an order from the time the order is placed, all the way through the return of an item. At the time that the site went live (August 4, 2008) it was the largest Commerce Server 2007 based site developed by a North American team. I guess that means that there may have been a larger site built somewhere else. But I'm going to crow about our site for a while yet! Other things to see here include
Feel free to hang out for a while. Since I use this site as a test bed and learning environment (as you can see, I'm still in the "learning" stage with PHP, although I'm pretty solid in technologies such as ASP.NET, HTML, Javascript and CSS), there's not much of interest. But you'll get a good feel for the kinds of things that I'm currently interesed in. Drop me a note if you feel like it. |
