Adding Analytics to Zovue

Today we are adding analytics to our website. The trick was to find a good analytics company that wouldn't be very expensive.

We are on a bit of a budget, not really a burger and fries budget but more like a sirloin steak (no t-bone in this budget)

So....the trick is to do a lot with a little cash. Its like the movie Bowfinger where Steve Martin tries making a really low budget movie look like really high class.

Thats what separates the true entreprenuers from those that only know how to spend money. the real entrepreneurs risk it all, with little initial benefits but high rewards.

I like to feel that i am in that category. So, luckily i have brilliant programmers that know how to turn gold dust into gold bricks.

So in a couple of days we should have our analytics installed which means we can call advertisers very soon.....no analytics....no advertisers.

Thats the name of the game. I didn't name it, but i am going to play it!

Thanks for the one follower. Thats very encouraging :)

Smoothing of Photos in Flash

We had a problem with smoothing of photos when we moved photos to another server. We had to fix the photos so that the images were loaded properly and with high quality. The flash program is near completion and we are very excited. Now we will be saving on server space and people can load as many photos and videos as they want. This is critical to maintain adequate server space - and to balance the server load. 

By offloading the Zovue server, we can maintain the speed of the flash program on the main server.

Changing the Chat

Luckily today i got the good news that the chat will work.....i had almost a nervous breakdown on friday because the chat wasn't working properly. AHHH....no, i was thinking. Did i go down the wrong path? Is my 2 years of work into Zovue going to be a puff of smoke? Here for a second and then gone and never more remembered?

Thank goodness one of my programmers came across another website that sells code for making chat boxes work in Flash. I paid the $60 (well worth it) and got the code. It felt very "Mission Impossible" as if i was snatching code from the Pentagon. The high is back and i am back on cloud 9 again.

lets see what tomorrow will bring. its not good to be too optimistic.
