MH “Battery” Tank

Friday, December 28th, 2007

Some great Christmas news: We have confirmation from the plant that the mold for the revised tank is finished and on its way to the production plant from the R&D shop. More updates as info unfolds. We’ll be getting a "sample" in shortly, which should not require much proofing other than the details of battery placement.

Website update

Friday, December 28th, 2007

Merry Christmas! We got you a new website! We’re not 100% done with the new look of our site, but we’re getting close! The point of all these changes is to move our site into modern technology, allowing for easier updates and the groundwork for our new catalog engine. The plans have been laid and we’re looking forward to having much more information available in the catalog about the parts we sell!

New site design!

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

We’ve been working all hours getting the new management system to work. We’re starting to use proper tools for running the site, which will make updates and adding new products easier. Unfortunately, there is a nearly infinite amount of work going on in the background to build up the infrastructure of what you see in the presentation. So it looks like "nothing at all" is going on, when there is actually a flurry of code writing. :)

WordPress editor

Friday, December 14th, 2007

Part of the purpose of installing WP and using it was to make site updates easy for our staff. WP comes with TinyMCe installed as standard; however it kinda sucks as if you try to do ANYTHING outside of its parameters, it ruins your html code. So if you want to put in a <DIV ID="blah">, it would convert it to <P ID="blah">, which may or may not behave properly.

I looked around and found this plug-in: http://plugins.baptiste.us/plugins/xinha4wp/

Back to work…

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

We're open and getting boxes going, so it's ok to place your orders. UPS and USPS are both servicing our location. I'm trying to keep my google map updated, as a lot of folks are using it for information. (174000+ views)

The fires are raging, but oddly, it seems everyone is a touch relaxed as the fire seems to be of predictable scope. The sky is smoky and some ashes are falling here at the shop, only a mile from Qualcomm Stadium.

"Fire map blog" on google maps

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

The map in the below post is taken from my initial tracking of the San Diego Witch Creek and Harris fires. Since I have been updating it, my google map for the Witch Creek and Harris fires in San Diego has gotten some 97000 views in only 24 hours. Wow! I hope it's helping folks out. Looks like I'm staying with friends in the town of Coronado, just across the San Diego Bay from the city itself. I hope I'm ok there … and I hope the shop stays ok, too. The fires are pretty “mad” … read some of the latest postings to that map.
