7 Tips To Choose The Right TV

If you need a new TV for your home, choosing one has to take into account a large amount of factors. From budget to size, display type, resolutions and TV features these all have to be figured out before the actual purchase is made. Some people like to purchase certain brands, so you'll have to filter down the possible choices to only the brands you know and trust. Other people like to do some research before even thinking about purchasing a new TV set.

Here are a few tips to make choosing the right TV easy:

1. TV Price

One thing you should set first is your budget. You can't just purchase anything without setting a spending limit first. If you require only a small TV for your kitchen, you shouldn't go beyond $200 for your purchase. If instead you'd like a new home cinema system so you can watch movies on the big screen, then you'll have to set aside a larger budget in the $1000-$2000 range. Then you'll

2. TV Size

The size of the TV is also an important aspect you need to take into account. If you have a limited space, then you should take some measurements of the available space and make sure your new TV will actually fit. It isn't wise to purchase a larger TV and then make modifications in your living room, because that's extra work and sometimes extra expenses.

Is Email Management Eating Up Your Budget?

Emails have transformed communication. Companies use them instead of letters, courier despatches and faxes. Emails are now the most popular means of sending and exchanging documents.

Yet this popularity has led to problems. Three-quarters of the business world's intellectual property is on emails. Companies must therefore manage email policy, security, backup, archiving, retrieval and legal compliance. They must also handle the different email systems and files. All this costs money.

Email Policy

Policy is critical. The moment you set up an email system, you run the risk of abuse. Personal emails, embedded website links, spam and viruses can disrupt communications and business.

Security and Backup

Security can handle some policy issues. But security must be constantly proactive. With so much confidential information held on emails, you need a system in which you can have complete confidence. And if disaster strikes, you want a backup process to restore emails without delay.

How to Set Up a Linux Web Server

So you want to host your own website from your own home or maybe your office. This tutorial will show you how to set up a basic web server using Linux. For this tutorial I have used Linux Mint 9 but the steps work the same on any recent Linux distribution.

OK first thing to do is give your server a static IP address on your network. Once you have set the static ip address you need to download and install the software you will need. Open up a terminal and install the following packages:

apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server

During the install process MySQL will ask you for a root password. Make this something complex but do not forget it!!!

Once installed open up a web browser and type the server address into the address bar (e.g 192.168.1.3) and you will see the message IT WORKS! This means that you have a working web server.

Now it is time to add some content to your server. All apache servers store their web data at /var/www but as default you can not write to this folder. Open up a terminal and type:

How to Choose the Right Shop Software

Easy to populate products. There are certain online shop software that necessitate you to utilize the web interface to load your products into the online store. The more products you have, the more time this will consume. It could take you weeks to upload a few hundred products. Therefore, while choosing your online shop software, make sure it allows you to upload your products via an excel spreadsheet, or other similar file based formats.

Allows adding attributes to products.The default installation of osCommerce does not allow the user to add attributes to their products. When choosing your desired online shop software, make sure that it allows you to add options, attributes, deviations and distinctions to the products that you are selling; and that too, conveniently. An example of such a software would be one that would, let's assume, allow you to customize a product via check boxes or pull down menus.

Easy to use admin interface.Once your sales are in motion, you will face a lot of customers who would want to either modify their orders, or make returns to their orders, even after checking out. You can't deny them this right, because otherwise your whole business will go down. There can't be laid enough emphasis on how important it is to be able to modify orders, attend to changes, and make refunds all on a single page in your admin area.

Backup Strategies

Most people know about the need to backup your data but what is the best way to do it. Today we shall take a look at some different strategies and the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Having a Server

Using a server to backup your data has long been established as a sound way to store your backups and for good reason - it keeps all your backups in one place and is easy to manage. You set up the scheduled backup and leave it to it. It is not all rosy though. There is the price of the windows software (unless you set up a Linux server) and if the server crashes you could use everything.

Pros - easy to manage, backups all in one place.

Cons - price of Windows software (although can be set up on Linux), backup is on site so if the building catches fire (for example) then you lose everything.

External USB hard drives

External hard drives are a good way to back up your data especially as they can be taken off premises (or at least placed away from the main system). They are cheap too which makes them very attractive. One big downside though is lack of automation. Yes you can still schedule a backup on your computer but you need to remember to plug in your hard drive at the specified time. If you have more than one system then this can take up valuable time. If you chose not to schedule a backup but instead do it manually, you have to remember to do it everyday and how many people would be able to remember that (yours truly included).

How to Set Up and Configure FreeNAS

I have been playing around with old hardware recently and one of the things I have done is install and set up FreeNAS NAS storage. This tutorial will show you how.

Before we do anything you must first find out your network configuration. In windows open up a command prompt and type ipconfig /all. In Linux open up a terminal and type ifconfig. Write down your IPv4 address, default gateway, subnet mask and DNS servers as we will be using this information later.

Now we need to get our hands on a copy of FreeNAS. Once downloaded burn a copy to CD. The next thing you have to do is decide where you are going to install it. I chose an old computer I had lying around (thanks Rob) but you could just as well install it within a virtual machine. The computer had 10Gb of storage and I installed another 1.5Tb. FreeNAS can be installed on a USB penstick thus saving your hard drive for network storage but since I had the 10Gb disk I used that instead.

Insert the CD into your computer and allow the software to install. Once installed you will arrive at the console setup which will give you the URL to access your installation via a web interface. For example mine was 192.168.1.12.

Some problems, such as a laptop not charging battery, slowly develop and don't seem to be pressing matters. These problems should be addressed during your free time to preempt further trouble.

While it is impractical to send off your laptop immediately because of a battery issue (as it can be used while plugged in), your mobility will be affected as soon as the charge runs out. Finish off your work for the week and use the weekend to make the adjustment. A great way to handle the problem is to try and get your work done early on a Friday and have it sent out before day's end. That way, when the problem is solved, you will have missed minimal time during the all-important business days.

Laptop battery problems would fall under the category of simpler repair issues, so you likely will not have to wait very long to hear back on the exact trouble.

However the most common fault is the Power socket has become faulty. Either way, you are looking at problems that can usually be settled "in house."
