130 Plus Home Office Inspirations for IT Professionals

by Hiroshi on 13-06-2009

In people working from home, the ratio of IT professionals is greater than in any other field. Working place should reflect the area in which you are working. And it should be refreshing, pleasing to eyes, comfortable, quiet place, resourceful. In case of computer geeks, all these rules do not always seem to apply. They tend to equip their atmosphere with resources but it appears messy in most cases (in case of programmers). From what I have collected, it seems like most home offices contain Apple MAC computers, than Windows or Linux. Following is an inspiration for everybody working from home for their home office. Some interiors are quite artistic.

Here, I suggest that you download PMB, use it and tell me how you feel about it? I was in need of such CMS, so I built it myself. I will enhance PMB even more along with planning and working with more Open-Source content-management-systems. Developing PMB was more than a joyful experience to me.

Everybody can use this CMS even without learning a thing about PHP. I have included all the help and how-to stuff along with PMB.

Developing A PHP CMS - Coding & Programming

by Hiroshi on 04-12-2007

I will have to admit. Programming is a very sensitive and careful work to do. Its been quite some days while I have been developing my new but first open source based, php full content management system. Even if I did write down all the points which I will be going to cover in this management system but as the project went on I had to drop some code and add some new by time to time. I like to do PHP stuff. Its my one of many interesting things to do.

In PMB I promised my readers to provide them a complete content management system which will cover more than just a phone book or address book. I would say that it has actually more bells and whistles in it. The development process went on fairly. I am almost done with it. I have planned to provide my readers full support relating to this system. I have created some web-based instructions on how to use PMB? what PMB contains? What platform is uses? How PMB can be used at local machine? How to use it at local server? How to use wamp server in fact and wamp general settings and also screenshots of the software. Even if anybody do not know that how to run PHP pages at PC locally, I can say that by reading detailed instruction manual along with PMB, he will be able to setup PMB locally and use it successfully for his record management needs.

I am pretty happy about the development of this CMS. If I will get responses and suggestions, I will even enhance its functionality, support and modules. Presently it will support images also and everything is customizable. Just waiting for 17-December-2007 to arrive and PMB will be on its way.

Top Website/Blogging Hosts - Best Hosting Providers List

by Hiroshi on 02-12-2007

There was a time when I just knew free Geocities web hosting service in my mind. Then I happened to know Yahoo Small Business and Brinkster. After that I came to realize that Hosting providers like Cpanel also exists.

As needs and requirements increase we need to know more about anything we are in. From just a hobby to full throttle profession... and finally I had to know about the best possible opportunities around for web hosting facilities.

I would like to share this resource with my readers. Choosing a host can be a nightmare sometimes. Really!!! You get to know usually much latter about all the services and real strategy of hosting plan, you own.

Go through the list. Feel free. Remember, before you choose host, search for a while, take your time, its worth it, find out maximum options. Explore all the facilities which they provide. Compare it with your website needs, requirements and your budget. You get the idea...

I would recommend WordPress, BlueHost (Best PHP/MySQL Hosting), ixWebHosting, GoDaddy, 1&1, Cpanel and HostGator order wise.
While best budget hosting has been Dot5Hosting.

And among these above I would recommend just BlueHost and then ixwebhosting.
While WordPress.com for blogs specifically recommends BlueHost, AN Hosting, HostICan, Dream Host and Lauging Squid. Detail
