Manly

Filed Under Work | Leave a Comment

I’ve been wanting to buy a property in Sydney for quite some time and while I was in Australia last July, I organised the finance and started looking for properties. I was looking in Manly, mainly because I think it’s a great location with its popular beach, loads of cafes, and easy ferry access into [...]

Setting Up CFMail in Coldfusion

Filed Under Work | Leave a Comment

If you want to send email using the CFMAIL tag in a Coldfusion page then you need to set up SMTP server details.
The CFMAIL tag sends an email whenever the page is displayed and is often used in a custom error page. So an email is sent to the webmaster to say that an error [...]

coldfusion Mappings | Footer | CFInclude

Filed Under Work | Leave a Comment

So once you have the data source set up in the Coldfusion Administrator, you’ll need to set up any mappings which may be required if you use CFINCLUDE tags.
I use CFINCLUDE to include a footer at the bottom of every page of the site.
To set up a mapping, login to the Coldfusion Administrator and then [...]

Qumana vs Live Writer

Filed Under Work | Leave a Comment

I’ve been using Qumana to write my blog posts for the last 9 months or so and it has been fantastic. It saves me so much time when blogging, especially seeing I have more than one blog. I can create posts offline and then publish and then start writing the next post for the next [...]

Open Office

Filed Under Work | 2 Comments

I wrote yesterday about how I couldn’t get the spell checker to work after installing Open Office on my new computer. Obviously, with it being open source software it doesn’t come with everything pre-installed so I had to download the relevant files and install them myself. This took virtually no time and now there is [...]

New Laptop

Filed Under Work | 5 Comments

I spent last weekend in London. I desperately needed to buy a new computer and seeing I couldn’t stand the thought of using a French keyboard, I headed north to pick up a middle of the range laptop. Not that I really like the English keyboard either but at least it’s similar to the one [...]

I haven’t had too much success in the past using Google Adwords with affiliate marketing but I’m giving it another go. In the past I have managed to break even and that’s about it. I’ve got a bit more information now so hopefully I’ll be able to do better this time.
As seen on TV products [...]

Do you ever do something without thinking too much about it, thinking all is going well, that you’re doing the right thing, only for it to turn into a complete nightmare? That seems to happen to me quite a lot.
Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been dealing with a wholesaler of organic cotton clothing [...]
