Finally, got through the merge from and merge into functions of the new Report options page. Following that, I hurried through the rest of the Tutorial in the help file. It may not be perfect right now, but it will get polished over time.

So what was going to be just adding the last set of features before going beta, ending up turning into some fairly major changes and usability improvements. A lot of the changes were based on user input and I thank everyone for that.

There are quite a few changes this version, many of them quite noticeable in the program and in the Everything Report. See my Version History for a complete list. I'll be sending out a mailing tonight to everyone who's purchased and tried Behold to let them know about the new version and some of the new features.

I apologise. Last night when I used my e-mailing program to send out the Behold News, the program timed out twice. Each time I had to restart it and I had never done that before. It was supposed to start up where it left off, but I found that 82 people ended up getting two of my mailings. That wasn't intended and I hope those who got two copies were not too annoyed.

On the download page, in the "how did you find out about Behold" box, I just got an answer that says: "Another person who uses it". Now that's how I would love everyone to find out about it!

On Thursday, I'm going to Vancouver for a cousin's wedding. So I'll probably be away from my e-mail for a few days, but I'll respond to any messages I miss when I get back.

I had a customized 2 GB USB pen made for me. It arrived today, complete with the "image" I developed to put on it.

Since Behold will very soon become a portable app, this is a cute way of promoting that ability, and I've now added that pic to Behold's home page beside the Portable Application item.

My daughter pointed out that it would have been better if I left the word "drive" off, because "Tree" rhymes nicely with "USB".

Maybe the next thing I'll make up is a pregnancy shirt embossed with: "Behold, I am expanding my family tree".

Writing webpages in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) was simple. You learned a few tags and use a simple text-based HTML editor to create it.

But then, along came the "experts" who said you have to split off the content from the styling. The content goes into the HTML file and the styling goes into the CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) file.

In theory that's fine. But why did they have to make CSS ten times as complicated as it had to be? Yes they want to make it more powerful, but they made it so much more difficult. I shouldn't have to struggle to be able to figure out how to do something. It should be clear cut. Although, I must say after two weeks of heavy-duty working with it, I've learned a lot and finally have developed my own style for my pages.

But the real difficulty is that they've made it so complicated that all the different browsers still don't implement everything the same way. Developing table-less columns and CSS-based borders around the content doesn't take long to do. But debugging it in Internet Explorer and Firefox and then trying to tweak it just right so that it looks the same is very frustrating. Once everything starts to look good, I try something else, like print-previewing, and it leads to more head-banging-on-wall. Then I go back in time and try to look at it in Netscape 4.7 and it looks God-awful. That's the price I guess, of moving forward to current standards.

I keep saying to myself that this is all worthwhile. The style sheets can then be applied to my Behold blog, forum, purchase page and help file, and it should all look the same. And I only have to go through the "pain" of developing it once.

If you are opening an automatic car wash, it can be helpful to know the components that are used. Below is information about this, so you can have a better understanding of how your automatic car wash works. 

Conveyor

The first component you see with an automatic car wash is the conveyor. When a car pulls up this is what they drive up onto. It then pulls the car into the car wash. A correlator is used to align the vehicle's wheels with the conveyor track. An infrared sensor then measures the vehicle, and the rollers and sprayers automatically adjust to fit with the vehicle. This ensures the entire vehicle is washed as it is going through the car wash. 

If the vehicle has an automatic transmission, it should be put in park when placed in the automatic car wash. If the vehicle has a manual transmission, it should be placed in neutral. 

Nozzles

Once the car rolls through the automatic car wash, a series of nozzles pop out to spray the entire car. Plain water is not used to do this. Instead, a pre-soaking solution that loosens dirt and grime on the vehicle is used. This makes it much easier to clean as the vehicle goes through the car wash. 

There are also nozzles that pop out on the side of the automatic car wash to spray down the tires and rims. This removes brake dust and dirt that may be on the tires and rims, as well as makes the tires shiny and clean. Once the entire vehicle has been sprayed down it goes through a mitter curtain to remove excess moisture on the vehicle. 

Foam and Scrub Equipment

The cleaning foam is sprayed on the vehicle. A scrubber is then used to clean the car. What is used for the foam depends on the car wash as this is your choice. The scrubber spins fast as the car passes through.

The scrubbers will become very dirty over time, so it is important that you clean them regularly. If too much dirt and debris stick on the scrubbers, they will not clean as well and can even scratch the paint on the vehicles.  

Rinse, Wax, and Dry

Once the car is cleaned it goes through a rinse which sprays water onto the car to completely remove the foaming solution. The sprayer uses high-pressure water to ensure it gets to all areas of the car. This includes the exterior of the car, under the car, and the tires and rims. Once the foam is rinsed, wax is automatically sprayed onto the car. This not only makes the car very shiny but can also fill in small scratches to hide them. The last component used is the dryer which blows warm air onto the car to remove any leftover moisture. You may also have employees that help dry the vehicle as it leaves the automatic car wash. 

You need to learn how to maintain these components, so they last a long time for you.

Ceramic coating is an absolute game-changer when it comes to protecting your car's paint and maintaining its appearance. This advanced technology has revolutionized the automotive industry, providing numerous benefits that make it a must-have for every car owner. There are many compelling reasons why ceramic coating is an essential investment for your beloved vehicle.

Unmatched Longevity and Durability

Ceramic coating offers unparalleled longevity and durability compared to traditional wax or sealant products. Once applied, this nanotechnology-based coating forms a strong bond with the car's surface, creating a protective layer that can withstand harsh environmental conditions. Unlike wax, which wears off quickly, ceramic coating protects against UV rays, oxidation, bird droppings, and other contaminants. This means your car will maintain its glossy shine for years, saving you time and money on frequent detailing and repainting.

Superior Scratch and Chemical Resistance

One of the primary concerns for any car owner is preventing scratches and damage to the paint. Ceramic coating acts as a sacrificial barrier, shielding your car's surface from minor scratches and swirl marks. Its robust chemical resistance ensures protection against harsh chemicals, detergents, and road salt. With ceramic coating, you can say goodbye to those pesky micro-scratches caused by improper washing techniques and maintain a flawless finish that will impress everyone you encounter on the road.

Easy Maintenance and Hassle-Free Cleaning

Maintaining the pristine appearance of your car is a breeze with ceramic coating. Dirt, grime, and water are repelled thanks to its hydrophobic properties, resulting in a self-cleaning effect. Rainwater and contaminants slide off, significantly reducing the need for frequent washing. Additionally, the smooth and glossy surface created by ceramic coating prevents dirt from adhering firmly, making it easier to wipe off any residue with minimal effort. You'll spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying your ride.

Enhanced Gloss and Depth

Ceramic coating is the answer if you desire a head-turning, showroom-worthy finish for your car. This innovative product enhances the paint's natural gloss and depth, making your vehicle look brand-new. The coating's high refractive index ensures that light reflects beautifully off the surface, creating a stunning visual effect. Whether you're attending a car show or cruising down the street, the mirror-like shine of your ceramic-coated car will make it stand out from the crowd.

Cost-Effective in the Long Run

While the initial cost of ceramic coating may seem higher than traditional alternatives, it is a cost-effective solution in the long run. Its exceptional durability and protection mean avoiding expensive repaints and detailing sessions. Investing in ceramic coating saves you money on car maintenance and retains a higher resale value for your vehicle. Furthermore, the time and effort saved on cleaning and upkeep are invaluable, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your life.

Give your car the ultimate treatment it deserves by opting for ceramic coating today. Your vehicle will thank you, and you'll enjoy the long-lasting benefits for years. Contact a company that offers ceramic auto coatings to learn more.

Is web hosting with dedicated (static) IP address better than having a shared IP address for your website? Due to the rapid increase of the number of registered domain names and the finite number of IP addresses, web hosting providers are forced to use shared IP's when possible. In fact, hundreds of websites often share the same address. Dedicated IP hosting is no longer the norm and usually costs more.
