If you would rather use a fully featured, open source, free, ecommerce script, i would HIGHLY recommend www.tomatocart.comStephen! Thanks! That looks so awesome. i was dreading the deadline I've set because i wasn't sure if I could set up a good looking store in time. And i didn't want to pay an hourly programmer's salary, nor did I want any of those monthly fee managed solutions. This tomatocart looks really great.
The admin back-end of that is without competition and the slick design is so simple to modify even a person with very little knowledge of web-design could manage it in a click.-Stephen66515 (November 16, 2010, 03:31 PM)-superboyac (November 16, 2010, 04:11 PM)
I reckon if you required the coders to use a Version Control System (source manager), you could monitor their check-in and check-out activity. There are basic "activity level" graphs for most such systems, and I'm sure there are more advanced activity analysis modules/plugins for e.g. SVN, Mercurial, Git, etc. Use of a VCS is advisable for any coding project anyway, and most professional coding teams/groups should already be using one. They might not like you requiring them to use yours, but again you can just make it part of the terms of your contract.

Hi Stephen
I'm not sure how workable this is anyway, calculating how many words a person types a minute, is not a good gauge as to how hard someone is working. To me, getting the right result at the end is better.
When I do development work for people, I ensure a fixed cost for the work I do, with a target date. Then, it doesn't matter when I work or how often. So long as I 'deliver the goods' at the agreed time, to a agreed standard then I get paid. If I run late, that's my fault. If I finish early, that's my advantage.
Logging how many times I twiddle the mouse or type code does not tell you how hard I am looking, I could be researching on line for two hours to write 10 mins worth of code.
Does that make sense?-awopbamboo (November 16, 2010, 03:59 AM)
While you can use secure deletion software that is often touted as "military secure", US security policies for data deletion require incinerating the drive.So, if I turn off all of the fans in my machine…-Renegade (November 15, 2010, 02:15 PM)-cranioscopical (November 15, 2010, 02:23 PM)
We offer full-featured web hosting and domain name services and FREE marketing and web content tools designed for both individuals and businesses. Through a user-friendly interface you have total control over your website without needing to possess any technical skills. Depending on your particular online demands, you can choose between a variety of carefully set-up hosting packages supporting three versions of PHP (PHP 4/5/6) and the latest stable releases of MySQL and PostgreSQL.
• Semi-dedicated plans for ‘grown-up’ shared users
Your online demands have grown so much that the regular shared hosting service is not already a perfect fit? Your websites are so traffic-consuming and stuffed with running applications and programs that the most generously packed web hosting plan could hardly accommodate them? Your diagnosis then is – ‘in need of a semi-dedicated hosting solution’. Our Semi-dedicated Servers have been set up to meet your increased demands of basic server resources, giving you a robust basis to keep expanding your web presence and reinforcing your competitiveness.
Our semi-dedicated servers have been set-up in accordance with the latest trends on the advanced hosting market, giving you generous amounts of server resources.
• VPS hosting solution for advanced users
Our Virtual Private Servers are intended for advanced users who need to manage their own private server but are not yet ready to resort to a dedicated hosting solution due to the high maintenance costs. VPS servers are based on an innovative virtualization technology, allowing for each VPS user to be completely independent from the others on the same machine in terms of software and server resources usage.
This unique technology empowers us to allocate generous amounts of RAM memory, CPU and network resources to your VPS account and stand behind the guarantee that you will be receiving them at any given moment.
• Dedicated servers for total online independence
Our dedicated servers are configured to match your ever-growing web presence needs. Each server setup offers you a totally independent hosting environment where you can take advantage of all the available server resources for your online and offline content management operations.You will have under your full control a whole server machine, boasting a robust hardware configuration, powerful operational parameters and stable network characteristics. Your server comes with a 99.9% network uptime guarantee will be set up for you free of charge.
Each dedicated server is equipped with an OS installation of your choice. You will have root access to the server and will be able to install and configure any software you need.
Choosing a domain name is very important for your online uniqueness. To get a good name for your web site you should set up an Internet address, otherwise known as registering a domain name. With our web hosting plans, you can choose among a wide range of domain extensions. Pick one that is well descriptive of your website's main subject. A well-formulated word combination - easy to memorize and spell, will maximize the value of your online presence and help you maintain a good ranking in all search engines.
It may sound unbelievable but the majority of the big companies in the web hosting business usually do not invest much in the development of new technologies. Instead they rely on 3rd party solutions and software. Unlike theirs, our hosting software was created, developed and designed in-house by us. Moreover, our business approach is human-oriented in that our client support is a center factor in the quality hosting service that we offer.
