GoDaddy stopping registering domains in China

Godaddy – one company is ready to follow Google’s stance on doing business in China.

During a congressional hearing later today to discuss Internet freedom and China, GoDaddy managerial plan to announce that they will stop registering domain names in China in response to a new government policy that requires extensive information about registrants. Starting last December, individuals and businesses that wished to register a .cn domain name were being asked to submit a photograph of themselves as well as a serial number identifying their business license in China .go

Google’s Alan Davidson, director of public policy, also plans to speak before the hearing, coming two days after Google announced its decision to move its Chinese-language search engine from mainland China to Hong Kong in order to bypass government laws on Internet censorship.

For the majority part, U.S. companies have repeated plans to stay in China and stick on to their laws following Google’s initial announcement in January and ensuing moves this week.

Magento templates is more than HTML

We get a lot of requests for Magento. Not only building a whole site, migrating an old one but also simply doing “PDS to Magento” jobs. And then we get back to the client and they’re always surprised at the time (and dineros) it takes. “But it’s just a PSD?”….Well, yes, but Magento is not just HTML. Really?!!

Here are the main differences:

• Magento uses mostly blocks for its modules and components so you have to understand how they work and how they fit with your HTML and the overall code. It’s not plug and play and it takes time to figure out. Even after several projects.
• You have to take into account in your evaluation and work all the pages beyond the home page and product pages, like account log in, checkout, shopping cart, wishlist and so forth….
• Don’t forget the “communication” pages like transactional emails, newsletter templates, etc…
• Finally you’ll probably be using javascript to make things a bit more user-friendly, like an accordion menu, or a gallery, so you need to take into account as well.

Overall, creating Magento templates are easily twice or triple the time it takes for a normal “PSD to HTML” job so be careful before you quote anything if you don’t want to lose your shirt. There a lot more pages and templates to play with than the home and product pages.

Run a C Program Directly

For this short tip you'll need tcc, the Tiny C Compiler, which comes with most distributions out there, including Debian and Ubuntu. tcc is a small ANSI C compiler which offers the ability to run the program after compiling it, unlike GCC, which (as far as I know) doesn't offer this option. To install tcc in Debian and Ubuntu:

In Debian, as root:

apt-get install tcc

In Ubuntu, use:

sudo apt-get install tcc

Now let's test this. First, create your C source file, e.g.:

Now, save this file as example.c or some other name and make it executable:

chmod 755 example.c # or chmod +x example.c

And the next step is just to run it!

./example.c

"tcc" will compile the source and run it automatically.
