Let’s Disqus - Video Comments?
Friday, June 20th, 2008Disqus - surely you mean D I S C U S S?
Actually no, Disqus is another of those great sites that uses an unusual spelling of a common word.
I started using the Disqus service today and you need to know because it affects you.
Quite simply - Disqus is brilliant.
Ever wanted more interactivity on your blog? [...]
The Help Desk Guru!
Friday, June 13th, 2008“Hi, I’m (name removed so as not to add to unemployment figures) and I’m your HelpDesk agent” (Sounds like the opening gambit at an AA meeting - not that I’ve been to one)
“What can I do for you today?”
Yes, I’m sure you’ve been there too. The trouble is it all too often goes rapidly [...]

You really don’t know.
I didn’t.
Who is watching you? Right now I mean.
It’s the big brother syndrome. In city centres, shopping malls, museums, even on the roads we are being watched by video cameras.

Yesterday I mentioned that [...]
What Have Jack Humphrey & Willie Crawford Got in Common?
Wednesday, June 11th, 2008Call me a sad old Anti Hype if you must but this week two particular things raised my spirits.

Go Angry
Monday, June 9th, 2008Ever get angry about something?
Working from home it is sometimes difficult to let of steam as there’s no one there to listen.
I found Go Angry this week - a great idea where you simply post what you’re angry about.
You may get some comments from other visitors - possibly some advice - but even if you [...]
Why An Internet Marketer Changes Direction
Saturday, June 7th, 2008
What really caused Eric’s change of direction?
I used to read Erics Tips but stopped when I unsubscribed from most of the lists I’d signed up to because I was sick of the endless pitches - all dressed up as providing information I needed but in reality were just trying to get an affiliate sale.
Now there [...]

64 years ago today, on 7th June 1944, thousands of young British, American & Canadians lay dead or dying on or near the beaches of Normandy, France.
The D Day landings of 6th June had been a success!
The beaches had been secured and progress had been made towards the initial target city of Caen [...]
Utility Poster Finds Guru Posts
Friday, June 6th, 2008Image via Wikipedia
I created this post using Utility Poster to see how quickly I could generate something that may be of interest to both readers and search engines yet also ensure the links were relevant and not some rubbish just to keep the blog looking fresh.
With the added benefit of Zemanta (I’ve written about this [...]
How To Choose A Domain Name
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008I’m not sure it’s really fair to pick on Homer again but as we’ve not heard from him for a while (no doubt still getting over the ice-cream fiasco) and since this is just “him” I thought you should see the results of his research into a new domain name for his latest project.
