Don't ruin your day with power outages

BatteryDon't let your day be ruined by power outages. Make sure that you have your office servers and workstations protected with an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). A UPS can prolong the life of equipment, keep data from being lost or corrupted. Has your UPS been talking to you? Those high pitched beeps might be telling you that your battery needs to be replaced. If you haven't changed the UPS battery in a while, it might be time for a new one. A UPS is only as good as the battery in it!

Need help with this? Call us at 678-495-5700 and see about having a network support tech help you. If you know you haven't replaced your battery in a few years it might be a good time to switch it out before it does go bad.

 

ASP Web Applications accessing MAS 90

Sage MAS 90 ERP and Sage MAS 200 ERP have an e-Business application for users who wish to have an internet store for customers (B2B) and consumers (B2C). These are great, out of the box, applications if you want to keep your site simple and to the point. Most everything is configured through the accounting interface. HTML can be added in the descriptions to give the site a custom look without having to have a programmer develop your shopping cart. During the check out process it will charge the credit card with Sage payment services or PcCharge and all the transactions flow through the accounting system No import or export. It is really a great application but like I stated before it is a very basic, out of the box, solution.  It lacks in Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Suggestive Selling, Social Media Links, Tell a Friend/E-Mail info, PDF of page, Human Readable URLs, and many other features and functions that most of today’s commerce websites have.

Smaller is better, when it comes to email

Most users of email take for granted how easy it is to send email. Email has become a staple in everyday life. Not only are we using email at work but now we are using email at home and we have come to depend on it. Email is no longer just text being sent. We want to share more than just words. We want to attach documents and pictures. Before you know it an email that was very small 100KB now becomes 8MB and is on its way through the Internet. Or so you thought!

Most email providers will cap email size due to the resources used when sending, receiving and storing email. Typical caps on email could be from 2mb to 10 mb with an average of 6-8 mb for most ISPs. Image trying to carry into your house 100 grocery bags full of food at one time. They are too many bags and they weigh too much to carry at one time. Email is the same way. Having an email too large would keep the system from performing hence the reason ISP and email providers will cap email size.

How can you make your email size smaller when you want to attach a picture? Glad you asked!

As digital cameras improve it seems that most want to add more numbers to how many megapixels it will create when taking a picture. The megapixels might increase the resolution but it also increases the file size of the image. What might have been 650KB on a 1.5 Megapixel camera can be 10 MB on a new camera. I recently found a great little application that will help shrink those images to a smaller size that is effortless.

Application: Shrink Pic
Website: http://www.onthegosoft.com/shrink_pic.htm
Price: Free

Shrink Pic runs in the backgound. It waits to see you insert images in to your email program and will instantly compress the image for you without changing the orginal one on your desktop. This is a must have for anyone sending images through email. Smaller is better, when it comes to email images.
