Don’t let your SSL certificate expire without your knowing! Make sure it is up to date so you don’t lose out on any sales! If your certificate is set to auto renew, be sure you have the correct steps ready to install the new certificate to your server. We have heard about many websites who lose out on valuable online holiday shopping due to an expired ssl certificate, or just lacking one completely. If you’re unfamiliar with SSL certificates, and currently maintain an eCommerce website, this article is for you.
An SSL certificate allows you to do secure credit card transactions on the internet. If you don't have one, people won't shop with you because they'll get a bunch of warnings that the site is not secure when they attempt to pay with their credit card.
Here are a few indicators to let people know that you are safe to do business with online.
1. Make sure that your URL is actually https://www.yourdomain.com. When someone see that "https" they know that is the first line of defense. 2. Next, check to see if there is a "lock" icon in the bottom right or top corner of your browser. This informs the visitor that there is a valid certificate on the page to protect them.
If your eCommerce website is not properly secured, then your customers are at risk for identity theft. If you need help with your website, be sure to call the experts here at JVF Consulting.

From time to time we help friends and family with their troublesome computers. This past month I had the privilege of working on two HP Pavilion laptops that had the same reoccurring annoyance. The annoyance happens on the Windows XP operating system right after system startup. After the computer finishes loading, a box in the taskbar located in the bottom right hand corner displays an annoying message saying “You are running out of disk space on HP_RECOVERY (E:)”
Normally you would access the drive and remove any unwanted files, but the purpose of the recovery drive is to store all the files needed to do an emergency recovery when the system become unstable. The recovery drive is actually a partition on the main hard drive in your computer, not an actual physical drive. It has much less available space than Drive (C:). The only files on the Recovery drive should be related to a system recovery and for some reason reads as full. When it gets full there is only one sure way to fix it, by changing the registry settings. To do this follow the instructions below. Once changed, reboot your computer and you will notice the annoyance is now fixed!
The windows registry controls this annoyance, to fix it follow these simple steps.
1. Click START–>RUN and type REGEDIT. Click OK.
2. Click the plus sign next to HKEY_CURRENT_USER then SOFTWARE then Microsoft then Windows then CurrentVersion then Policies then Explorer
HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
3. Double-click on NoLowDiskSpaceChecks if it exists. If it doesn’t, right-click on ADVANCED and Select NEW–>DWORD VALUE and name it NoLowDiskSpaceChecks
4. Set this value to 1 to disable the low disk space warning message.

Dublin, CA October 5, 2009 - JVF Consulting, LLC is proud to announce The Big Rumble custom website redesign is online and accessible on the World Wide Web. Mayor Gavin Newsom and the city of San Francisco plans to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake through a series of events called The Big Rumble.

By having the event information available online it allows for everyone to come together as a community to learn more about how we can better prepare for all types of emergencies.

Allowing to become better prepared for emergencies will require powerful and accurate tools that can be quickly updated through a content management system.” stated Jason Franco, President of JVF Consulting, LLC. “With the power of Amass CMS The Big Rumble can make revisions to their custom website on the fly all through a rich user-friendly web 2.0 interface.”

On October 17, 1989, the Loma Prieta earthquake struck the Bay Area. It was the largest earthquake on the San Andreas fault since the great San Francisco earthquake in April 1906. The earthquake, also known as the “World Series Quake,” caused 63 deaths, 3,757 injuries, and an estimated $6-10 billion in property loss. It caused severe damage as far as 70 miles away from its epicenter; most notably in San Francisco, Oakland, and the San Francisco Peninsula. On the 20th anniversary of the most significant disaster in our recent history, we come together as a community to remember those who lost their lives, comfort those who lost their loved ones, and honor those who emerged as heroes on that day. At the same time, this commemoration provides an opportunity to reinvigorate our commitment to making emergency preparedness an everyday part of our lives.
About The Big Rumble: The Big Rumble is a website resource and a week-long series of special events designed to connect our communities with preparedness resources. Committed 2 Community is honored to have been able to partner with the agencies of the City and County of San Francisco and its community partners to pilot The Big Rumble in its inaugural year. City departments with a major role in coordinating the events include the Department of Emergency Management, Department of Public Health, San Francisco Fire Department, and the Office of the City Administrator.
