OSCommerce is a very good e-commerce script and has a support network / user base that is extremely helpful. But when you download and install it you won’t take long before thinking “Surely there’s more?”. And there is - loads and loads of OSCommerce contributions that are (generally) free. Trouble with open source software is [...]
I had a phone call yesterday (got to love customers who call on lovely sunny Sunday afternoons - what’s worse was I was here working!) and someone wanted to buy a product but was having trouble with the checkout. Now, I could have created the order manually and spent 10 mins on it or I [...]

When I uploaded my first post last night I had a quick look around PC Scribbles and the template I’m currently using - just to see what needs to be added. Certainly a lot, at the moment, but it’s growing and in time it’ll be sorted (as much as it can…).

Well, I have at last done it.
For ages now I have kept either paper notes or text files when I have found a solution to a certain problem related to computers. Now, I have decided to put these notes in a blog format - hence PC Scribbles. It is where I will put solutions to [...]
