Save The Data

On Last weeks episode I spoke about an easy way to get a little better data piece of mind. This of course was after a horrible, data laziness accident. My accident wasn’t catastrophic, it was some pictures of the my dog. But they were the only pictures, and of course [...] More >>>

How not to store data: a lesson

We all get lazy. Right? [Well maybe not Keith]. Storing files locally on our desktop or laptop. Only maintaining one copy of them. Hoping that nothing happens to the drive, or the machine gets stolen. Right? Are you with me so far? Well, for a while I was [...] More >>>

Is it a sine?

A few years back, I watched MLSNI turn off their consumer facing website because members took the stance that this was reducing broker/agent centric website exposure. Ironically, seemingly overnight, this almost perfectly coincided with the flash flood of Syndication Portals (Trulia, Zillow, GoogleBase, etc). At first, the industry was very apprehensive to giving their [...] More >>>

The march of Progress

Today, Mark and I were walking back from the Hilton after sitting in and listening to the Business Issues Committee meeting here at the midyear meetings. (Hopefully more on that soon from an expert!) In any case, we passed a bus stop bench and saw a bunch of books sitting on it and we couldn’t [...] More >>>

SAAR Technology Symposium Blogging Panel Video Posted

We Cannot Allow Ourselves To Have a Syndication Tool Gap!

All the RETS buzz these days seems to be about the new RESO Syndication standard. It promises to make the lives of syndicators (Google, Zillow, Yahoo, Trulia etc), aggregators (ThreeWide, Point2), brokers and even MLSs easier.  With a common data format to use, the workload of everyone will go down significantly.  But right now there [...] More >>>

The Law of Unintended Consequences

Every once in awhile you get bit by the Law of Unintended Consequences. What is this law you ask? To quote wikipedia: The Law of Unintended Consequences states that any action will produce some unintended consequences… This maxim is not a scientific law; it is more in line with Murphy’s law as a warning against [...] More >>>

Networking as a Portmanteau

I have installed a package called DD-WRT on by consumer grade Linksys WRT350N router. DD-WRT gives me professional grade options that the manufacturer does not offer and utilizes the hardware to its maximum. This fusion of Professional software and Consumer equipment makes my network setup prosumer. DD-WRT is a good approach if you have a [...] More >>>

Showing Feedback: A Simple Solution

Today, a call triggered an idea, triggered a quick project, triggered this post. And where did this trigger all start from — well from one of the great REALTORS I met at this years REALTOR Land Institute Conference. Todd (sorry didn’t get your last name) called me this morning and asked for some [...] More >>>

Getting your listings out there

Posting your listings online should be a standard procedure. And from a marketing point of view, the more places a listing appears, the better. The downside is that if you want your listings on half a dozen sites, you have to enter listings manually to each site or invest money in developing an automated system. [...] More >>>

Office 2007 Compatible?

My primary desktop is Linux, so I’m an OpenOffice user. At home, I run NeoOffice on the Mac. You can just imaging that special feeling I had when I started seeing e-mail attachments with file extensions like .docx, .pptx and .xlsx! These new XML-based file formats are associated with Microsoft Office 2007 [...] More >>>

Great trip to AZ

We don’t normally do trip recaps here on the blog because we would end up writing something almost every day. Okay, we really don’t travel every day, but it sure seems like it sometime. This trip was worthy of a shout-out. I was invited by Doug Groppenbacher, the President-Elect of the Scottsdale Area Association [...] More >>>
