When we talked about JoobsBox, a comment suggested that I should take a look at jobberBase, but despite the fact I didn’t keep my promise to check it later that week, I never forgot about it. Even more, yesterday, while I was browsing the Web without any special purpose, I bumped into some site mentioning jobberBase, and I decided to go ahead and take a closer look at it, so here we are…

…checking jobberBase, “the open-source
job board software that helps [...]

Having content from a bunch of websites gathered in the same page is nothing new. After all, there are a plenty of startup pages that are doing the job well, like Netvibes or iGoogle, but what about those people who want to have a Netvibes-like page on their own domain? This is where Pubwich steps in, of course!

What is Pubwich? Well, we’re talking about an open source PHP application that can help anyone to display data grabbed from multiple sites/online [...]

I hate CAPTCHA on sites that I use frequently, especially since most of them use only letters, and sometimes I don’t understand the text displayed. If everyone would be nice and switch their text CAPTCHA pages to ones using images, that would really be awesome, at least to me. Well, they can use VidoopCAPTCHA, so there’s no excuse for not doing it… since I know a lot of people like me who would be grateful!

To make a short story [...]

Finally, Friday is here! At the end of each week, I think it’s very important to look back and draw the line – what was supposed to be done, what has been done, and, more important of all, what did you learn from your mistakes. What kind of mistakes? Unfinished tasks, of course! Earlier this week, we talked about Toodledo, and now I think the time is just right for another similar online service, namely Gubb.

Best way to make money [...]

“Focus, focus, focus. Get organized! Stop wasting time!” Nothing new here, right? There are millions of people saying this to themselves each day, but only a small part of this crowd will manage to end the day and accomplish all the tasks scheduled. Or… should I say “the tasks they didn’t schedule the right way,” maybe? Anyway, developer or not, we all need a place to store all our to-do lists, and having a bunch of notes on the desk [...]

Every time I see a CMS that’s even easier to setup and use than everything I knew until that moment, I wonder where is this headed to. After all, we may soon see a CMS that only requires a click on a link, followed by voice input of various parameters needed, and even featuring fingerprint login! Cool enough? Yes, I know, this may not happen at all, in the end, but I think GetSimple isn’t that far from my little [...]

I love start pages. Sure, I usually load my bookmarks, but having a lot of useful info inside a single Web page is also a pretty good idea, and I must confess that, despite the fact Netvibes is my all-time favorite, I recently started playing with iGoogle from time to time, just to get to know it better. These begin said, it’s no surprise that bumping into an open source script allowing you to build similar pages made me instantly [...]

As far as I know, CRM solutions are extremely expensive to deploy and maintain. I know this from a former high school classmate, who has a little IT company in charge of such a product. He only deployed a custom solution to a small company, and he’s doin’ pretty well. Now, this may not be as complex as a customer relationship management system, but I was also sure that live support systems can really put a whole into the budget [...]

Confession time, once again! Deep inside, I am a lazy person. Sometimes, this becomes pretty obvious, but at least it doesn’t happen too often. For example, some buddies of mine released some job reviews site, and things are going pretty well for them. I was already thinking about releasing something like that, but slightly different (their site is about reviewing current/previous jobs, my idea was about something like Monster.com), and the two things blocking my way to having that up [...]
