How To Deal With Your Mobile Stalker
It’s late at night and you’re chatting with your wife. Suddenly there it is again
“RING RING!”
Your cellphone’s buzzing. The number’s unknown and it’s the upteenth time that someone’s ringing you- but doesn’t answer when you (or your irate wife) picks up. Your wife suspects an affair. You swear there isn’t. Still, you’re in hot water.
Don’t [...]
Launching Otaku Gadgets
After taking a minor break from blogging in 2008, I’ve been working even harder than ever in 2009. What has really spurred me on has been the success of Windows 7 News, that I run jointly with Martin from gHacks. Having an official blogging business partner is great as two brains are better than one, [...]

Please Don’t Screw Up HTML 5
HTML 5 is upon us, and it should change the way we deliver web content. That is, if the browser makers and web designers don’t screw it up.
How To Choose Your Next Digicam
Until just about 5 years ago, folks still fell in line to buy film. Choices were simple. You either got the 36 shot roll of film, or the 21 shot. A few blest individuals got to use Advantix which allowed printing of thumbnails. That saved on printing costs since you can easily identify which shots [...]
OpenOffice.org vs Google Docs
Microsoft Office has ruled the world of computer productivity since the Windows 9x era. Really, how many of you are still using Corel or Lotus? I thought so.
Migrated To New Server Over The Weekend
I’ve had to move servers again and the migration was completed over the weekend. I’d like to thank my new hosts WiredTree for a very professional move, which had no major hiccups. Already users should see major speed improvements on the site, which will increase over the coming weeks as we tweak the server.

Top Five iPhone Games
After weeks of deliberating I finally ordered, not one, but two iPhone 3G S – one for me and one for the new Mrs Blair. They should be arriving next week, and I’m already creating a list of apps I want to install. Portable video games are hot as a pistol, and the [...]
How To Make Quick And Safe Bucks Online With Forex
95% of new investors fail the forex game. That’s a fact. The average bloke jumps into the market with a $10,000 investment hoping to hit a goldmine. He purchases scores of forex indicators off ebay to get an edge. Then he tries autotrading robots amounting to a thousand dollars. Then reality sets in. Losses accumulate [...]
Fun With VirtualBox
In 2002 I switched to Mac. As those of you who have been paying attention know, I was a dyed in the wool NeXT guy, and I had OPENSTEP on my primary workstation from about 1997-2002. I kept an assortment of other machines on my network running FreeBSD, Solaris, various linux distros, and the occasional [...]

Kick Them Out. Permanently
Installed a Suite lately? Whether it’s Mcaffe or Norton, Office or StarOffice, they’re vexingly difficult to purge from your system. That’s supposed to be a feature too- not a flaw. Egotistic suites think they’re doing you a favor by clinging on in perpetua long after you’ve ‘uninstalled it.’
You don’t have to suffer misbehaved suites anymore. [...]
AntiVirus And AntiSpamBee Plugins For WordPress
Last week my server was attacked by a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack for about 5 days, which took my sites down for about 4 hours. My host liquidweb responded brilliantly and although they couldn’t stop the attack, they tweaked my server so that it could handle excess load from the attack.
The incident made [...]
My Eyes Have Been Opened To The Power Of Twitter
I have to confess that until last month I tried to ignore twitter because I thought it was a waste of time. I was convinced that there was no real value in twitter and that it was another distraction like facebook that I didn’t need. However, just as facebook turned out to be a very [...]
Got Trash? Don’t Fret -You Got Cash!
Earlier, I mentioned how easily you can make $200 a day with $5 cost. But did you know you can actually make $900 a day at almost no capital expenditure?
I discovered the method years ago when a relative gifted me a pair of shoes. Not just any kind, mind you. These were Louis Vuittons. $400 [...]
