This weekend

Now the fires are red hot for getting sh!t together for our move. By the end of this weekend:
  1. get a shopping cart installed on the server
  2. start photographing items to get rid of
  3. big heater
  4. small heater
  5. toyu tanks and pumps
  6. take fish to Homey Homer
  7. clean out fish tank
Since this is my tech blog, I'm most focussed on the shopping cart now. I've been looking at a couple of options. I don't need a lot so I should just focus on the easiest to install and friendliest to navigate.
  • Commerce.CGI - the first script I looked at; offers free scripts for basic installation and a one-time paid membership to access add-ons
  • Shop-script - a pretty slick looking system that features three different tiers of functionality for quite a price increase; clear features description available
  • AgoraCart.com - an open source option; also features paid membership upgrade but it's unclear what the features differences are
We'll need to get our stuff ready for the shopping cart as well.
  • photograph everything from a couple of different angles
  • measurements
  • price
  • description
  • date of availability
The only information we'll need is a name since we'll be collecting cash for everything.

What about making a blog to sell everything? People can just comment on the items to claim them.
