HalfMex

That’s actually meant for us as well as you. You see, ever since I made the first website for my wife and I, we got busy and the motivation to update it left us. Well, that’s all about to change (the motivation part, you follow?).

Introducing HalfMex.com!

What?

Oh, that.

I have a weird sense of humor and though it would be funny. Now, sit back and click on the photos above to read each of our blogs.

Eric: What’s the easiest way to find out shipping costs for an item that I’m going to list on eBay?

Jason: Well, in a nutshell, USPS shipping costs are based on four factors: speed of shipment, size of shipment, weight of shipment, distance of shipment. If you have a scale handy (one that does both ounces and pounds), you can use their website. Otherwise, I would recommend going to the post office and using one of their self-help machines.

Eric: Well, there’s another option that works well… Tasks (now called Tasks Jr.) by a great coder named Alex King. I’ll setup a demo for you. I really want this first option to work since it works so easily. The piece I’m missing is WebDAV which my host doesn’t support unless you have a dedicated server. This phpiCalendar is supposed to work without WebDAV (uses FTP instead), but I can’t get that to work yet. A 3rd option is using iCal Exchange. It’s a free .ics hosting service that has WebDav support.
