Damn it’s been so busy lately! Sorry for the lack of post guys.

Anyway, I’ve found out that it’s a lot more difficult than it looks to post coupon codes on a regular basis! Damn! I’m already running 3 other blogs (that’s a total of four with CouponCodesVault.com) and it sucks a lot of my time considering that I’m still working full time.

So What have I been up to? Well sometime ago I started developing a tracking script in PHP and I decided to put that back on the work table.

Up to this day, I worked part time as a webmaster and part time as a system administrator for a government branch. Well this is gonna change as I got the news today that we’ve got a new “client” who will require more of our web services which in return will make me a full time webmaster.

I am very happy about this since web development and web hosting are my passion. I’ll be managing Linux and Windows web servers. I’ll also be going through PHP and ASP development.

I guess those 14 years in this business are finally paying off!

Errata: I have made a small error in the video tutorial. The CRON command to schedule the OpenX maintenance should’ve been:

/web/cgi-bin/php5
/home/content/c/o/u/couponsvault/html/ox/maintenance/maintenance.php

The second week is almost over, I wish I had more time to work on this case study lately! I have now installed OpenX on my GoDaddy shared hosting account. OpenX (aka OpenAds) is a free ad server developed in PHP. It’s very useful to track clicks, geotargeting and lots more.

I’ve made a video tutorial to show you how to install OpenX on your GoDaddy account:

Can’t see this video? Watch it on YouTube.com!

Unfortunately the original video lasted longer than allowed by YouTube so I’m gonna have to make another one to show you how to display ads using OpenX.

Stay tuned, I’ll be posting this by tomorrow!
