Just Released: A New "Magic Code" that when added to any site you have causes your site (or even any site) to magically start making money.
No joke. This discovery was made by a New York doctor who for the last 10 years used it secretly to do everything from offset his advertising costs, to just adding it to 1,000's of webpages and amass a personal wealth now of nearly $100 million cash!

And now he's decided to allow you and everyone else to share in it (and since he stands nothing more to gain by keeping "you" in the dark about it).

So, It's thursday lunchtime and I've just wasted an hour of my life sifting through the thousands of website comments and deleting the spam. 99.9% of it was adverts for (yes, you've guessed it) various small blue pills and lotions promising monstrous erections and the ability to proudly say "Hung like BULL"

What is it with these horrid companies generating internet spam and splashing it around the website?    Ooooh... it gets my blood pressure raising - AND I DIDNT EVEN NEED A PILL TO DO IT!!!

Many of you will have heard of Dave Litten - a Prince 2 accredited trainer and somewhat of a Project Management Guru. I spoke to Dave yesterday (from his sunny villa in Spain) and I'm very excited to announce that he's working on training video's for people studying for their Prince2 accreditation. I saw a sample video... it was fantastic!

Imagine the scene aboard HMS Victory:-

Nelson: "Order the signal, Hardy."

Hardy: "Aye, aye sir!"

Nelson: "Hold on, that's not what I dictated to Flags. What's the meaning of this?"

Hardy: "Sorry, sir?"

Awoke this morning to find my Outlook email not working because Outlook2007 was reporting that my PST file was damaged... much scratching of head ensued and vaguely worried faces were pulled while I drank a cup of coffee and wondered what to do next.

Outlook says there is problem with ..\appdata\local\microsoft\outlook\outlook.pst and to run scanpst.exe to fix it.

Video is easier than ever to upload to Youtube and let your friends and family (or even complete strangers) look through a window into your world. For some reason I assumed this was going to be deadly complicated but it turns out that it's deadly simple!

First you need to upload your video into Youtube - This is easy and just about anyone with a computer can do it. All the instructions and answers to your questions can be found here http://www.google.com/support/youtube/

I've grown up with all the flavours of MS Windows from Windows 3.1 through to Vista...

Back in the early days my first experience of computers was with the BBC Acorn and BBC-B at School and at home I saved up my pocket money and bypassed the Sinclair ZX81's that my friends had got for Christmas and waited and saved and waited and saved and eventually got my sticky pre-pubescent fingers on a Sinclair Spectrum 16k.

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in their bed. She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him.

She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in front of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wiped a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.

I've just got the most excellent Ubercart ecommerce system to work with Paypal for paying and then auto-downloading digital media in the form of an eBook.

I thought I would jot down the process, as a memory jogger for me and if it helps anybody out there in inter-web-cyber-highway-net-land then it's worth the wasted minutes of typing   ;)

Back in my early twenties I joined a company called JBA. Based in Chertsey they were a software house specialising on the IBM System 38 (later to become the AS400 or iSeries). As an IT Consultant, my role was as diverse as plugging in printers, designing core software changes to affect hundreds of customers, writing specifications for application change and redevelopment through to meeting customers for project kickoff, planning and signoff.
