Power, Hackerpreneur, Tienda, Tech Talk, Nooku

SouthLaSalleMedia.com — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 17:00:43 +0000

Tienda is ready -- very ready. Tweet sweetly even in heat -- same with blogging -- for I love that technical talk! The way for users to capture the inherent power of Free Open Source Software is to join hackerpreneur clubs. Yes, I do care about the Nooku Framework!

Why I am Not Using the Nooku Framework

SouthLaSalleMedia.com — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 17:00:32 +0000

Right now, many Nooku Framework versions are used to build Joomla extensions, but only one NFW version is installable on a Joomla site. Since NFW versions are so different, an extension written with one NFW version will not work with other NFW versions. For me, this renders the Nooku Framework unusable.

Clubbing at Club Commerce

SouthLaSalleMedia.com — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 16:00:57 +0000

Of all the nearly 60 podcasts I've produced since February 2010, this podcast is the most difficult I've put together. With a mountain of notes and over 50 takes, I know I have too much on my mind about my new Club Commerce. Why am I forming a Club of Clients, how am I going to run it, what are my objectives for you and me? I've been doing Virtuemart consulting for five odd years. Three-quarters of my clients were fellow consultants; and, one-quarter were site owners bootstrapping their own sites. With such unusual difficulty putting this podcast together, I've concluded that the best way for me to approach this podcast is to just speak from the heart, as a consultant. My marketing may not be the greatest, my copywriting not the slickest, but so what? I'm going to help you make a ton of money with Tienda. Who needs slick? Let me just lay it out for you...
