My New Corner

Dear Surfers & Readers,

Hope that all of you are fine and thanks for reading this blog. Have not been writing much posts as of lately but I was busy making some new plans for my new corner on the internet.

I have been blogging with wordpress for these last 5 years, 4 months and 1 week and 3 days, exactly on Friday the 13th October 2006 [hmmm maybe I was scared that night ]. It was nice writing posts on ciappara.wordpress.com but now the time has come to move and be independent. Don’t worry, I’m not going away. I’m just moving this blog to my personal web address. From now on you can find me and my new posts on this website, ciappara.com.

In this blog I write any issues that I face while developing apps & websites and their solutions. The response from other people having the same issues was amazing in that users started helping each other in the comments. I will update my new blog on a more regular pace and also have plans to start making some new fun stuff as well… but i will tell you more on this later on.

Hope to see you all on ciappara.com! Btw, what do you think of my logo (see above) and the site layout… any suggestions?

Week Review.. over 300,000 all time views

This week my blog managed to reach a target that I previously set in my mind, 300,000 all time views. Most popular websites manage to reach that amount in only one day. But I’m happy with the result.

Moving Forward

These last few months, I’ve been trying to add a post, if not daily, at least 4 times a week, and am almost managing it, to help more developers with the solutions to the daily problems I find, and other utilities that help users.

During the next weeks I will be shifting this blog to  personal domain name, www.ciappara.com, to make it more customizable. I’ve been meaning to do this for years, but now it’s time to do it

Blogging Solutions

I have been happy using wordpress for these last 4 and a half years, but now I would like to start using a .Net Blogging solution. This would help make customisations more easily, as I’m a C# guy , and can add anything I want. I’ve been searching for a few solutions, and I found BlogEngine.Net and Graffiti, or else develop continue developing a blogging engine using Project Nine. I will be testing and reviewing them and let you know what I’m choosing.

But more info on my new blog later. Till then continue watching this blog ciappara.wordpress.com! Thanks for all your reading!

First month in my New Job

Last month, on the 22nd of February 2011, I started working with deVere-Group as a Web Developer. It’s already been a month and I thought to share my experience with you. It is nice working here at deVere, the people here are great and I like the job, it’s interesting and allows me to gain experience in Finance. I’m working on the Devere Fund Platform which handles the funds of over 60,000 clients around the world.

The only thing that I was worried about when I started was that, since I’m a C# guy, here we use VB.Net for the development of websites and apps. For me it was like “Oopps” but now am getting accustomed to it… and let me say that VB.Net is not that bad – though I still prefer C#.

I’m also in deVere’s football team, but till now, we didn’t have a lot of success, but I’m sure we will!! Last week, we got new shirts for our team and I think this will help us! Continue reading »

Back to Malta

This week I came back to the little island in the Mediterranean, Malta. Had a nice holiday but now back to normal life.. It’s time to continue my blog Will try to upload some photos of England soon.

Project NINE | Launching 29th November

Finally the day has come, for Malta to experience a new concept in web development on www.nine.com.mt. Today we just made our first advert on the timesofmalta.com as till now is going very good.

Clients will have many features for a small price. Stay tuned as we’re going to reveal more before Monday!

Why the word Project?

We chose the word project instead of concept or design for the simple fact that this website will be always evolving. There are so many things that we have ready for it. And we are the type of persons that listen.

Why Nine?

We chose the number Nine as it is a magic number. It’s amazing what  Try this…

- Multiply any number by nine (be it 10, or 15, or thousands or millions).

- Then repeatedly add the digits of the resulting number until it is just one digit

- You’ll end up with NINE

Next are some examples:

2 × 9 = 18 (1 + 8 = 9)

9 × 9 = 81 (8 + 1 = 9)

234 × 9 = 2106 (2 + 1 + 0 + 6 = 9)

578329 × 9 = 5204961 (5 + 2 + 0 + 4 + 9 + 6 + 1 = 27 (2 + 7 = 9)) Continue reading »
