Posted by: gf4e on: November 25, 2008

So these are two startups. Vultri.org is my new design studio. From now on I am officially creating websites of different complexity and content. Hope it does bring some return :) “Pile of Shots” is another website, which will be free image hosting and possibly something like Flickr (not as cool of course, nothing can [...]

First decisions :) Webhostingpad.com

Posted by: gf4e on: November 14, 2008

Seems like the optimal option for me. There is only one BUT. No domain names from them :) I need to actually OWN mine ;)

PDF to Text + PHP

Posted by: gf4e on: July 3, 2008

The most popular scripts have always seemed to diffcult for me, and may be I am just not qualified enough, but now [...]
