Popular Baby Toys Blog

I was playing around with the Amazon Affiliates Program and made a blog about baby items. This was just an experiment to see if it makes money. I am investing a dollar a day for Ads on Adwords by Google targeting the "baby toys" keywords. I'm going to let this sit there for about two months (max. $60) to see if I make at least the same or more from the Amazon Product links.

PHP and MySQL with Apache on Mac OS X

The process of installing the *AMP (Apache, MySQL, PHP) on Mac OS X is basically like the typical install of LAMP.

First, to start the web server, go to system preferences, turn sharing on, and check the Web Server check box. This enables the /Library/WebServer directory to be open on the web. The web address will be displayed within the system preferences pane for the sharing. The /Library/WebServer/Documents folder will now host the files for your web server. An HTML file can be held here.

To add PHP, go to the http.conf file and uncomment the LoadModule directive for PHP. A default install of PHP is already installed on Mac OS X. Restart Apache and now a PHP file can be place in the /Library/WebServer/Documents folder and it will process as usual.

To add MySQL, the MySQL package for Mac OS X must be downloaded from MySQL for Mac OS X

website. It is necessary to make some configurations for your system to run MySQL. The configuration of MySQL on Mac OS X can be accomplished by following the directions on that website.

Drupal 5.8-dev CMS

Drupaul is a CMS (Content Management System) that is very powerful and easy to use. It can save a lot of time with all the core system and third-party modules. A large Web 2.0 website can be built fairly quickly with Drupal. Some of the cons are that it is a large platform and can be slow if not used properly. Any custom PHP, MySQL, third-party modules/themes can easily turn into an issue for the entire system. The environment for developing modules allows easy and deep integration of the system, but can limit your reach. The system is easy to set-up and build a basic website and it allows much more advanced development. It is overall a great free and open-source system!

J2ME Mobile Applications

J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition) is a version of Java targeting mobile devices. It is much more efficient than J2SE (Java 2 Standard Edition) and can run in a constrained environment. It is not strictly limited to mobile devices and can run on some embedded devices. Java is known to be highly portable. Portability allows a build once, compile for many different devices scenario. J2ME can be easily ported across mobile devices. This does not hold true for all situations. The hardware on one device can be different than the next device. So, a J2ME application with GPS functionality that runs on a GPS capable phone, obviously, can not be ported to a non-GPS compatible phone. J2ME provides a complete object-oriented programming environment. There are many tools included in the J2ME software development kit that allows developers to easily build clean and usable user interfaces. There are a large number of tools included in the development environment. The BlackBerry Software Development Environment/RIM (Research In Motion) utilizes J2ME for the programming language. There is a complete JDK Java Development Kit to handle developing applications for the BlackBerry.
