re SITE SPEED . . . > 2015+ AND > 2019 still Nothing has changed
Sorry! . . .we can’t wait for” Turnbull”l and his “NBN”
despite their “scammers” insisting we upgrade If / When etc . . .  promises . . . promises !
to Hell with them ! . . . I say ! . . . they’re ALL Padded with “Bullshit!”
even with Telstra AND Optus (interchangably) ADSL2 . . . it is still NOT good !
even with our normal TV we’ve upgraded Foxtel Cable > a Satellite Dish


SO ! . . .We’ve gone to the CLOUDS” and to hell with Telstra and the “Feds” Govt
and their procrastination on this !
In Boronia a far diststanr
1km from the Telstra Exchange
&
30km from Melbourne GPO

our actual UPLOAD IS /would be ~800kbs Download 2Mb/sec on so-called ADSL2+
. . . must be the WORST Internet speed in AUSTRALIA . . . now arguably the 3rd WORLD !

IT IS A JOKE . . . NBN > politicians > Turnbull . . . most / ALL of  ‘em are “bloody imbeciles” !

So .  . Our site is NOW fully hosted overseas “ in the Clouds” . . . and it IS FAST(er) !
2017 albeit now being deliberately choked by Telstra > ISPs . . . in favor of mobile phones/  download of movies by “pirates” etc and slowed down by the rest of you “web junkies”

at this time . . .  ITS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST WE CAN DO. . . even if YOU still  insist on using
 those damn “mickey mouse” phones for browsing !
ANYWAY NOW WE have that (“at least’) covered ! 
(but  we Still have Your obvious limitations using  THAT “crap” web technology )
lets’ face it the problem is STILL all in YOUR hands . . . or your Companies’ . . . to get up to speed
let’s face it . . .  it’s ALL Those “ twitter and twats” that are literally ”bogging down” the Web infrastructure

some of our “proto” SHOP

still useful for our Internal simple use

Interfaces to MAL’s Cart

On-line SHOPPE

 - NOW fully Functional and includes built-in Search feature
 . . .with some limitations / compromises

Mobile SHOPPE
(miniSITE)

. .. A QUICK Overview . . . fully functional with some “on-the-fly” improvements
 . . . but we R still under development.
Mobile MalsCart we cover ~1000 individual item in this Shoppe
(out of 30,000+ in our complete range ) many with up-to-date “system pricing

Flip-Cart

>>> NOW ! FlipPAGE SHOPPE via /index.PHP extension to > ALL FlipPAGES ( albeit an earlier andnow  compromised 
“Flash” version > simulates > HTM pages
Prices  ??? for our MAIN Supplier 18,000 items but YOU Search for them
but still “useful” info via CatNo SEARCH within the FlipPAGEs
Whether we continue to add even more detail ???
.
. . it IS also unfortunately feeding INFO to our competitors
 . . .but catch if u can !  ?. . . so . . . we may / will require YOUR Registration in future !
for full pricing . . . in the interim our “Prototype Carts
with a cut-down list might suffice ?

Flip-Cart

> our SHOPPE(s) ??? . . . but Now several versions ?
. . . and “it’s called evolution”
 
. . .
BUT All are more or less “ in sync” . . . based on the same pages/info and similar features
. . . to cater for those who want options or have their own “hang-ups” re new ideas, lack of resources etc

 
PC (partial) SHOPPE  . . . MALs CART is NOW “fully” implemented 2016 >2020+and it’s sort of mobile “ responsive “!

with a really “slick” FlipShop variant and “system”
. . . Prices are up-to-date at least for our Main Supplier Products
BUT NOW 2016 - fully implemented HTML5 integrated SHOPPE
at
chromalytic.net.au ( but No Prices on-line NOW ! here ! )

The initial HTM PC SHOPPE - an attempt to include some Drop down option, Radio Buttons . . .
& dismal in hindsight . . . not really relevant to us !
 . . . far more difficult to DB integrate / implement into database / accounting systems anything worthwhile !

 . . . Improvisations . . .
Shipping Costs ?
. . . currently improvised . . . soon to be based on Post Codes in Australia
and by Weight of consignment
functional but very much improvised . . . short site Cart designer problems ???

International Shipment - Freight Costs to be added manually entry only by customer
 . . . as a separate Line Item in CART . . .
$85
  $95 min charge plus $20/kg $35 is typical; . . . & at our cost price

where kg weight in description of goods AND/OR for obvious heavy/bulky items

A similar Import freight charge applies ( to be added ) for non stock standard items

Generally . . .
For SHOPPE Carts to really be feasible . . . someone some “smart-arse nerd” out there really needs to work on
Database integration with wildly fluctuating Currency Exchange rates in mind

. . . Hence Our need and temporary fix / “work-arounds” . . . but cum 2019 Now
> disillusionment with ALLSHOP Carts

OUR Web SITE’s ??? . . .
> it’s ALL called “evolution”

&
No ! . . . NOT just “TWITTER” Mentality
> maybe it’s just a bit (too) High Tech ? . . . 4 U !

1993 initial attempt at “Bulletin Boards”:/modems etc -  primitive pre Telstra
and “ALL the rest” . . . IT IS All history”
1995-is
h introduction of PDFs . . . against the odds at the time . . inertia, paranoia by we administrators !
1996 - use of .XIF format ( ( from PAGISPro ( now defunct) . altho many .XIF pages still on our “archive” Site AND locked in !
-   introduction of “DJVu” format pre  . . . a massive improvement over PDFs
and .XIF at the time
2006-8 Flip Page formats . . . Initial PDF-to-Web format most PDF files are
 in /pdf2/)  also

some in a PDF DIR “archive may still be missing “404” Errors

 . . . to hell with Turnbull / Telstra and their Broadband and All the other “ Ausiie hangers-on”
- at least we are trying to do the right thing by YOU !
2015   FlipSHOP mechanism introduced - Add > /index.PHP  to ANY Flip URL many Prices eg Major Suppliers now “System Current” manually adjusted to current AUD/USD as needed ( usually when difference is > 2-3%
ALT ”Mal’s Cart” is still Active and  being maintained for preliminary QUOTE purpose
2015-July - NEW Online SHOP Cart fully functional - BUT still evolving with Prices (?)

> My / Business “BLOG”

a “Rant & Rave” > just for “Googles Ranking sake” .!

GOOGLE Ranking and paid for “SEO”  > “rorts” etc !

beyond ALL That ! we are still battling against the odds with GOOGLE etc

despite a tremendous amount of effort from us trying to do the right thing . . . after 25 years  we Still have never achieved ANY sort of ranking with THEM  for All our website efforts

One is perhaps Not surprised after G..g.. being fined “billions” for mal-practice  Worldwide
they do seem to grudgingly conceding and maybe are forced to be a bit more forthcoming with SEO
on-line assistance / rationale

But as for those “up-start” 3rd party SEOs out there . . what a joke they are !
. . . but Only my opinion of course . . . with All due respect !

2015+>

Now ! . . . Our SITE is more Compatible and with . . .

  • PCs (. . .  of course ! ); PDF, FlipPAGEs, AND many FLASH features
  • Fly-out Menus, NAV BARs,, fancy Slide Shows . . .where HTML-5 still chronically struggles OUR preferred System But the WEB destroyed most of That! . . . with HTML5
     
  • BUT the “PC” WIN “Cartel” has “dumped “ Adobe “FLASH” ( &  progressively > as from Jan 2020 officially ! )

and YES! . . . Now 2018> Apples, I-PADS, Androids, mobile phones are now generally supported via our Website . . . albeit with some limited features; NOW with some screen resolution compatability . . . eg  but still NO FLASH yet!
. . . ( but that’s their problem / hangup . . .  NOT Ours ! )

Hooray !

June 2019
At LAST
?

NBN Has FINALLY Got to us

38mb DL / 18Mb UL
Thats much better !
but still a bit 3rd World Stuff I belIeve with OPTUS better than Telstra > where’s the competition

we have both ! just to get
the best of a bad system
> phones AND the Internet !

BUT

  • IT ! “bombs out regularly still eg Overnight
  • Maintenance in our area ?
    late ‘19 > it’s even getting worse !
  • AND they’re futility of trying to run the whole “phone” system off Wi-Fi. . .
  • What ! for the sake of a “bit” of Copper Cable  “scrap” to the “Chinese”

but at least THEY / we are moving forward ?

“ greedy bastards “ they R !

it’s obvious Telstra / Optus / ISPs aresimply “ripping customers off in a “captured” market By conserving bandwidth / using caching to throttle the potential
OR Govts simply trying to conserve Costs

PCs Vs Mobiles ? controversy

OK I concede the “junkie mobile” era has arrived

Mobiles ?. . . apart from the “dislexic twittering” . . . they are bloody bullshit !
. . . nigh on useless for all intents and practical purposes . . . Or for disseminating useful technical info

I find it difficult to even make a “bloody” phone call on them . . . too many damn options confusing “menuing Nav” etc options

But it’s improving with mobile phone technology > better screen resolution, wireless bandwidth
and pixel screen resolution etc . . . & much improved with “pinch & zoom” plus Screen Rotate
on New(er) mobiles

2018-9   OUR reasonable compromise - HTM is a useful Index to FlipPAGE Technology
with “pinch & zoom” even a 400px screen is usable to view an + to Print A4 . .  .with “squinty eyes”
 but with an I-Pad or Android A8 > even much better > Our FlipPAGES !

We’ve NOW largely converted our detailed/extended “original” PC Site into a 600px format
 ( from Our “original” 1000px screen PC format)

If you access our main site via Google it auto - reverts to our WIX 400px “simple MickeyMouse” HTM format albeit to THE “mobile” HomePage

SORRY! but those “clunky” new web design pages ( for example WordPress ) . . . are not for me ! even tho’ the multitude of plug-ins might offer impressive graphic effects . . .
and “chewing up” bandwidth of course !)
WIX is OK  and one site can serve both format purposes small mobile > tablet > PC
Nor are these really user friendly  OR  practical for managing a Large technical info-based
Site like ours ! . . . let alone any sort of  Shop with a decent sized Product List

That “blocky” text format is still the limiting factor 3rd party plug-ins have proven still to be
unreliable and many get de-listed anyway ! we’ll stick with Net Objects Fusion
and accept the many compromises

so 4 “mobile” > www.chromtech-aus.com > 400px  is fairly good > Flip Pages and “Mal Cart “
AND it’s also responsive and PC compatible . . . as well !

although our HTM ongoing links “May” revert to the PC format inadvertently
and admittedly All can be a bit overwhelming for “most” of YOU ?

for Tablet or a PC > www.chromtech-aus.com/shop is quite s bit simpler in many respects !
we are trying to achieve “some sort’ of interactivity !

NEW ! > from . . . Jan 2015
Our On-line Shop Cart(s) still NEEDs to  Allow for Exchange Rate variations
( . . . just intolerable & unsustainable for Us! )

SO! . . . Our Shop Prices are set at a Base XR AUD/USD=0.95 ( adjusted to a more realistic current 0.79
(as of Mar2015 following the “”CRASH” late 2014 and will be manually and timely adjusted to the current
XR at date of Shipment if / as necessary

YOU PAY . . . ( for Governments and Banks blunders / mismanagement . . . arguably ?
     PP Invoice 1 at XR=0.73 . . . regard this as a deposit to implement our Ordering process
     PP Invoice 2 . . . Prices re-calculated to the “Current” XR . . . but ONLY if necessary !
You then will need to pay “ the difference”, to complete the Order and to allow for any minor adjustments
re freight, mistakes
etc or errors due to limitations (as in almost ALL Cart designs.
We manually make the necessary adjustments and send the “top up” PP Invoice(2) to you for XR
as needed on Invoices and for minor freight adjustments)
No Payment in Total . . . No shipment !
OR a REFUND ( less the PP Handling FEE of 2-3%) 
OR Credit in your favor  issued against your next order ! by negotiation

BUT All in vain ?. . . Bank / Govt Regulations now introduced make it illegal in many countries
to have varying > ill-defined prices in SHOP Carts
Our “prot0 Carts are still limited to + 1000 items as a compromise ! > too difficult for US to maintain


More . . . re AUD Prices

The MAL’s SHOPPE Cart PP Invoice Header /” Instructions” form or Shop Pages
will have an approx XR posted if you wish to calculate an estimated cost > compile a SHOPPING LIST for example ( from within Mals
Shop pages designated “CURRENT” will give you confidence !

. . . that’s the best we can do . . . as involuntary “Tax Collectors” for the TAX Dept
and 
- they can’t / won’t even provide decent s’ware tools to assist
. . . to compensate for an arguably  crazy WW-W(oose”) economic system
You can of course ask for a “RFQ” and order as normal via our PC based  Quote / Order Confirmation “system”,
. . . details via phone and / or e-mail request
There may be some price discrepancies in the short term until we get our overall  “ system” synchronised

BUT Note . . . we DON”T Accept CC Orders over the phone ! . . . neither will anyone else these days !
AT ALL TIMES . . . we will try and work to a reasonable compromise re pricing . . . in your favour !
BUT . . .ONLY IF YOU TALK TO US !

2019 >  I’m completely disillusioned with SHOP Carts how trivial / superficial they are !
> with little detail . .  .at All!

AND our competitors just love our “open” Prices - Now discretionary & limited > so ASK!
