Best PHP Form Handler, Designer, Submission Manager!

1. RSForm!Pro revision 34 released

The new RSform!Pro revision brings improved functionality to its calendar, Submit and Continue buttons, Manage Submissions area and invisible CAPTCHA algorithm.

1. Calendar improvements
The RSForm!Pro calendar now includes year navigation for easy date selection and two new backend properties:

• “Default Value”: you can set a default date that will be displayed when the form is loaded
• “Min and Max Date”: you can specify the date interval on which the user can make a selection

2. Improved invisible CAPTCHA
We’ve improved the CAPTCHA algorithm for an increased spam protection for those of you that do not wish to add standard captcha images.

3. New options for advanced users:
We have added something special for our advanced users too.

• You can now take control of the date string right after it is selected, by declaring the rsfp_onSelectDate() function in the JavaScript area (CSS/Javascript tab).
  See the example!
  
• Another useful feature is the ability to use Javascript triggers inside the Pagebreak elements (Additional Attributes area). The specified code will be executed just before the page is changed.

Announcing New DNS Service from AWS (Amazon Route 53)

Subject: Announcing New DNS Service from AWS (Amazon Route 53)

Dear Amazon Web Services Customer,

 

We're excited to introduce today a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) service - Amazon Route 53. It is designed to give developers and businesses a reliable and cost effective way to route end users to Internet applications by translating human readable names like www.example.com into the numeric IP addresses like 192.0.2.1 that computers use to connect to each other. Route 53 effectively connects user requests to infrastructure running in Amazon Web Services (AWS) -- such as an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance, an Amazon Elastic Load Balancer, or an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket -- and can also be used to route users to infrastructure outside of AWS.

 

A reliable, cloud-based DNS service has been one of the most requested offerings by our customers. With Route 53, you can create a "hosted zone" to add DNS records for a new domain or transfer DNS records for a domain you currently own. Route 53 is also designed to work well with other AWS offerings, such as AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). By using AWS IAM with Route 53, you can control who in your organization can make changes to your DNS records. In the future, we plan to add additional integration features such as the ability to automatically tie your Amazon Elastic Load Balancer instances to a DNS name, and the ability to route your customers to the closest EC2 region.

 

Route 53 is also designed to be fast and simple. It uses a global network of DNS servers to respond to end users with low latency and has an easy-to-use, self-service API. There are no long-term contracts or minimum usage commitments for using Route 53 - you pay $1.00 per month for the hosted zones you manage, $0.50 per million queries for the first billion queries, and $0.25 per million queries above a billion. To learn more about Amazon Route 53 visit the Amazon Route 53 detail page or the Getting Started Guide.

Texas Sales Tax on eCommerce Merchants

November 9, 2010

Recent changes to sales tax rules in Texas may require ecommerce merchants using a server located in Texas to collect tax on sales made to customers in Texas.



How do the changes to Texas sales tax rules affect my business http://yhoo.it/9X9rvU

Here is a great article from "eCommerce Times" about the new Texas Sales Tax rule that says if you have or use a server in Texas it means you have a "presence" there and now should collect sales tax.

  http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/70878.html?wlc=1289533115



For information about the new tax rule in Texas, please see the Texas Administrative Code, RULE §3.286, "Seller's and Purchaser's Responsibilities, including Nexus, Permits, Returns and Reporting Periods, Collection and Exemption Rules, and Criminal Penalties."

New Meters Goin in on 22nd Street - San Francisco Mission

November 2nd, 2010
Another meter change just a few years after putting in the digital meters. This area is near the City College Mission Campus so they can take advantage of the adjustable rates when students try to park for class. (They rebuilt and expanded that campus with limited additional parking for students or teachers. Small underground garage for Handicap parking and some staff parking.)


This is on 22nd Street, near the Popeyes Chicken. 

The logo on the truck is Street  parking meter company StreetSmart Technology LLC.

AT&T Cell Phone Fine Print - AT&T Mobility - Data Plan Requirment

AT&T Fine Print from an email dated October 14th, 2010


You can make your own conclusion, but I reccomend that you use your Wi-Fi connection as much as possible.  Also if you don't need any data and just want POPCICLE   (plan old phone call incoming call listen easily.) then you should get a NON-smart phone.  Like our old Nokia phones.
Data Plan Requirement: Smartphones require a DataPlus (200MB) or DataPro (2GB) plan. If you exceed your initial data allowance, you will automatically be charged an additional $10 for each additional 1GB provided on DataPro or an additional $15 for each additional 200MB provided on DataPlus. All data allowances, including overages, must be used in the billing period in which the allowance is provided or they will be forfeited. For more details on Data Plans, go to att.com/dataplans.



Wireless from AT&T: Credit approval and new, two-year service commitment on eligible wireless calling plan required. Coverage not available in all areas. See map at www.wireless.att.com for details. Other conditions and restrictions apply. See contract and rate plan brochure for details. Subscriber must live and have a mailing address within AT&T’s owned network coverage area.



Phone Return Policy/Early Termination Fee: No Early Termination Fee if service canceled within 30 days of purchase but up to $35 Restocking Fee may apply for returned devices; thereafter, the Early Termination Fee will be up to $325 if purchasing certain specified equipment (check www.att.com/equipmentETF for list) or up to $150 for other equipment. Independent agents may impose additional equipment-related charges. Sales tax calculated on un-activated price of handset. Early Termination Fee subject to change.



Rollover Minutes®: Unused Anytime Minutes expire after the 12th billing period. Night and Weekend minutes and Mobile to Mobile minutes do not roll over. Nights and Weekends: Night hours are 9 pm to 6 am Monday to Friday; weekend hours are 9 pm Friday to 6 am Monday.



Offnet Usage: If your minutes of use (including unlimited services) on other carriers’ networks (“offnet usage”) during any two consecutive months or your data use during any month exceeds your offnet usage allowance, AT&T may at its option terminate your service, deny your continued use of other carriers’ coverage, or change your plan to one imposing usage charges for offnet usage. Your offnet usage allowance is equal to the lesser of 750 minutes or 40% of the Anytime Minutes included with your plan (data offnet usage allowance is the lesser of 24 MB or 20% of the KB included with your plan).



Games/Video/Ringtones/Graphics/Messaging: Standard usage rates apply, depending on your plan. See att.com/dataterms for terms & conditions.
