DNN Live Chat

9/6/2013 9:00:00 PM -- Ted Krapf

So the age old question... buy it or build it? Recently I was helping a client with their new ERP that my team and I developed for them. Part of the ERP is public facing and we wanted to integrate a Live Chat feature to help the client's customers transition through the changes. I was very surprised to find a real lack of quality Live Chat services out there that fell into a happy medium between Good Features and Free. So after toiling around with a few canned solutions and service...

"We Are Already Cyborgs"

8/15/2013 1:13:00 PM -- Ted Krapf

Crazy.. "If human history is the story of a creature who molts from ape to angel - or as Nietzsche claimed, from beast to Superman - then somewhere along the way it seems that we must become machines." -Erik Davis. If you don't follow "Shots of Awe" it's some pretty thought arousing rapid fire philosophy that's kind of fun!

Keywords, SEO, and Internet Ads

8/13/2013 2:42:00 PM -- Ted Krapf

Clients always have great questions about SEO, Keywords, and Internet Marketing. What are some of the basics, gotchas, and where's a person or business to get started? There is no magic bullet - sorry. Like anything, hard work and research will pay off. Below are some fast tips I recently sent to a client that I thought I'd share.... You always want to avoid what I call Keyword Stuffing. Google’s spider (called Panda) that crawls and indexes the web is VER...

Placebo Buttons -- they are everywhere!

I thought this would be interesting to share. I can't think of any computer or Internet graphical user interface (GUI) buttons that are merely placebos, but I've only been thinking about it for a second here. Can you think of any?

Combine Excel Documents Using C#

3/15/2013 12:47:00 PM -- Ted Krapf

A client yesterday had a common problem, "Ted I have 100+ Excel documents that I need to be able to quickly search through, and I'd like to combine all those work books into a single .xlsx file so that I can just search in one document." Sounds simple enough right? The first thing we tried together was scouring the web for a VBA script to do this. Seems simple, get a list of the files in a directory, open each doc, and copy and paste its contents into the main docume...

End of the World?

12/18/2012 4:18:00 PM -- Ted Krapf

So, the Mayan's 'predicted' the end of the world? Seems strange that they would do such a thing. I guess every civilization has thought of their beginning and their demise. As advanced as the Mayans were, their mathematics didn't take leap year into account. The actual number of days in a year is 365.2425, not 365. This is because a day is not precisely 24 hours. Now, since the Mayan's didn't take this into consideration, they had a rounding error. Now after cent...

Why Get A New Website

4/23/2012 4:13:00 PM -- Ted Krapf

When customers visit your website does it look like a time capsule? Was Bill Clinton still in office the last time you updated your site? Customers want to see new content; it's not a question of, it's a demand. Take Facebook as example, do you know why facebook.com gets over ONE BILLION hours of use daily? It's because people have, arguably, become addicted to looking -- looking at refreshing content. What's new with their friends and family? Has anyone commented on ...
