Long Week, Long Weekend

E-mail Print PDF

The TETAC website continues to grow, and new developments happen fairly frequently. Many of those developments can not be seen from the viewers point of view. This of course depends on how and what you are viewing.

This evening I have employed a PDA version of the website. Now when you visit the sites from your PDA or small screen device such as a BlackBerry, Iphone, or even a web enabled cell phone, you see a different, simplified version of our site. You can still log on, and do all the things you normally can do from a PC, however, it gives us mobile abilities.

This can be a very exciting tool. One thought I have tried to keep in mind while building this website is what tools can I use as a Turf Technician on the go. Can I find out information about a machine I am having trouble with? Can I order parts from the field? Can I access information about a particular setting on a machine that I have not committed to memory? How easy is this information to get to, and how fast can I get it?

Recently the board of directors of TETAC met at a course near Southern Pines, NC. This is just a short note to try to post a couple of pictures from that meeting. The real article with information about the meeting will be coming soon.

Weekend of March 2 and 3 2009

This has been a very big weekend for us here at tetac.org with many new changes happening. It has been a rocky road if any of you have visited the site over the weekend you might already know this.

One big goal for the weekend was to get a database with TETAC members installed so the site can access the information to provide specific services to TETAC members. On the site we have visitors who are not registered, registered site users who are not TETAC members, and TETAC members.

What a Rush

E-mail Print PDF

 

So, I have been hard at work running between doing backups to installing features, to setting up features, to trying to get them placed and looking like I have wanted to.

Just a few minutes ago I was able to get VirtualMart installed. It took quite a bit of doing, because instead of being able to point at the package on my hard drive, and having the system upload it from there, I had to unpack the .zip file into a folder, and upload the folder onto the server with FTP, then use the server address inside of the admin panel to install it!!

Backup and how to save the world

E-mail Print PDF

Now its past noon on Sunday, and I am busy trying to get Community Builder installed on the site. CB will gives us the tools we need to assist in building the online membership, allowing online purchase of memberships, allow online sharing of equipment between registered paid members, and give us a system where we can find other technicians who have experience that we can use to do our jobs, when we need the help.
