The USPS Web Tools allow developers of web-based and shrink-wrapped applications access to the on-line services of the United States Postal Service (USPS). They provide easy access to shipping information and services for your customers. Your customers can utilize the functions provided by the USPS without ever leaving your web site. Once the Web Tools are integrated, your server communicates through the USPS Web Tools server over HTTP using XML (eXtensible Markup Language).

Free php UPS address validation tool.
With UPS Address Validation, available in the latest XML technology, you don’t have to worry about your customers entering incorrect address information. If customers make a mistake, UPS Address Validation alerts them with an error message, ensuring that errors are corrected at the point of entry long before orders leave the shipping dock. This reduces costly returns for you and headaches for your customers.

If you have read all my blog, you should noticed month ago I bought new HP nx8220 PY538ES notebook. So the next purchase was wireless access point D-Link DWL-G700AP.
Here is some product features:
The DWL-G700AP is Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11g compliant, meaning that it can connect and interoperate with other 802.11g compatible wireless client devices. The G700AP is also backwards compatible to 802.11b.
It is really easy to use. With its web-based setup wizard, the DWL-G700AP Access Point ensures that you will be up and running on a wireless network in just a matter of minutes. The DWL-G700AP also includes an embedded DHCP server that can automatically assign IP addresses to wireless network clients.

Hello guys, how are you doing? Would you like to get something for free? Maybe free domain, or even free hosting? Great, I know some places where you can get everything for free :) Sounds good, yes? So the first link is EuroDNS and here you can get free .be domain name for 1 year. When you have your own domain name, you need to host it somewhere so there is another free service for you: Pandela. Here you can get some space for free!!!
So go and get it because I don’t know for how long it will be just for free :)
