A Good Fail-Safe.

I am always on the lookout for amusing websites and when a friend of mine showed me this I just knew that it was my God-given duty to spread the word…

Fail Blog is an extensive collection of… well, failures. Expect to come across some truly ridiculous photographs. It is possible, I suppose, that the odd one or two of them have been staged but most of them just couldn’t be faked.

I have borne witness to several images in Read the rest of this entry »

Lights, Camera, Webcam!

How about this for a handy gadget? If you spend a lot of time on different computers then it is not always possible to use a webcam. However, by getting one of these ‘USB Webcam’s you can have your face on whatever computer it is that you are using.

It has a resolution of 480 x 640 which, while it is not the best quality on offer, it is not to be sneered at either. But when you use one Read the rest of this entry »

Woodland Chills.

After reading ‘A Very Strange Path’ on Fido’s Place, I thought that I might check out this new game and see what all the fuss is about. I love games that are original and I am a big fan of ‘Silent Hill’.

I wasn’t expecting it to be that good to be honest; I mean, how can such a simple storyline be made into a game that is so scary? Well, I was in for a shock!

‘The Path’ really Read the rest of this entry »

Elf Analysis.

If you are one of these ‘Sci-Fi’ nuts’ (like me), then you are going to love ‘Elf Life’. I think that it is one of the best blogs I have come across that is dedicated to all things science fiction.

At the moment, it has posts about Star Trek, Watchmen and Warcraft to name but a few. I get the impression that it is updated quite regularly and there are all sorts of interesting bits to have a read Read the rest of this entry »

Collected Musings.

I wonder why it is that people need to collect things? It’s something I have thought about lots of times but I have never managed to work it out. I think that we are all guilty of it to a certain degree but some people take it to the extreme…

There was a guy I knew a few years ago who was absolutely nuts about mugs. Yes, that’s right, mugs. He would spend hours on end walking around car boot Read the rest of this entry »

Using Skype In Your Business

What is Skype? Why is it so popular nowadays? Skype is basically a VOIP service provider which allows people to chat with other people over the Internet. It works the same way as a traditional phone, however, you talk over your computer instead.

Skype has a powerful search feature on it that allows you to find other people who have it. This is great for business, because if they have the “Skype Me” mode on, they are basically saying Read the rest of this entry »

The Significance Of Keywords

When trying to optimize a site for search engines, people tend to get all flustered. There is so much to learn and do. You have to research and determine exactly what your competition is doing. Then, you have to beat them so that you can achieve higher ranking than they do. This is almost impossible for the newbies out there in the Internet marketing world.

The good news is, an easy way to start is by using keywords. If Read the rest of this entry »

Working From Home Gives Me Freedom

I have to say that since I quit my 9 to 5 job over 7 years ago and begun working from my home, I have had the total freedom to do what I want and still make a fabulous income. I work right from the comfort of my bedroom in my pajamas and slippers. I wake up when I want (not to an alarm clock) and when I do feel like working, all I have to do is log Read the rest of this entry »

Team Building Made Easy

Every manager knows the importance of team building, however, not every manager implements it. Team building does not have to be hard. Basically, your job as a manager is to build up your team’s morale as well as their productivity. You can do this by creating a fun and productive workplace for your team. Offer incentives and rewards for a job well done. Run contests on a monthly basis to keep the team spirit alive. Set a good example by Read the rest of this entry »

Down With Big Brother.

I am sure that a lot of people will be really disappointed to hear that Big Brother is soon to be finishing; but I am over the moon.

When the show began I never expected it to go on for more than one series. I don’t know which is worse, the fact that it did or the knowledge that so many viewers enjoy it.

As far as I am concerned, ‘reality programmes’ are the lowest form of television. They are Read the rest of this entry »
