Just a Few Lines of Code...

Whenever someone says (somewhat flippantly),..

Why can't your developers just add that feature really quickly? It's just a few lines of code.

I need to have an example of why this is obviously false. It makes total instinctive sense to me despite the fact that I'm not a developer, but for other people it may take convincing examples.

Here is my first one. Please read Favicon Hell: Small Feature, Big Code.

E-Commerce: Going From Startup to a Large-Scale Corporation

I just found out my long-time friend and coworker, J.D. had started a blog relevant to our history with Network Solutions and .

Hello everyone. I just wanted to create a blog to share my knowledge about e-commerce with the rest of the world. I've been involved in e-commerce for about 5 years now, and I've learned quite a bit throughout the process. I'll get to that stuff later. For now, I want to give you a background of my experience of going from a small company to a large corporation.

I started out working for a company called MonsterCommerce back in January of 2003. I started when they brought tech support in house, and was one of 13 people working there at the time. I have been through the struggles of a small company, and helped it develop into a medium-sized business with a couple hundred employees. I've seen all the growing pains associated with that development.

For those of you that don't know, MonsterCommerce was purchased by the giant company of Network Solutions in 2006, and a lot has changed since then as well. So I've seen what most small businesses go through, all the way to a large-scale corporation, and all over the course of just over 5 years.

Elephant Pooh Paper

Our e-commerce software can be used to sell such a wild variety of products that it sometimes boggles the mind what we see every day.

While elephant dung is a seemingly unusual source of paper pulp, it actually makes a great paper. Since an elephant’s diet is all vegetarian, the waste produced is basically raw cellulose. Thoroughly cleaned and processed, the cellulose is converted into a uniquely beautiful textured product, marketed as "Ellie Pooh Paper". This acid free, linen-like papyrus-type paper can be formed into art and construction projects, notebooks, cards and assorted gift items where the only limitation is ones imagination.

Phase 3: Profit!

At first it sounded like a bad idea, but after reading the description and the process used to create it, it sounded intriguing to say the least. It would make a great conversation piece and it's environmentally friendly. What more could you ask for? Visit MulberryPaperAndMore.com to learn more about paper made from elephant dung.
