New E-Commerce software: Magento

By John Locke on January 19, 2008

Just ran across a new Open Source shopping cart system, Magento. We've been using Zen Cart for a while now, and it's great to see an alternative.

We actually really like Zen Cart. It's fast, clear, and customizable. From a quick look at the Magento demo and feature list, it looks like they're starting with Ajax in mind, but it doesn't look like there's that much different in the administration area. Will have to keep an eye on this one.

But wait, don't you tell your clients you don't need a new site?

2017: The year of encryption

January 2017

Starting this month, Chrome users are going to start seeing a lot more sites flagged as insecure. Google is firmly on the technologist side of the encryption war, and it wants to make encryption something regular people care about. Why?
Not using encryption is like sending everything you visit/everything you do, scrawled upon postcards, with stops in all sorts of places, passing by people you would not want seeing everything.
