Farewell to my friends at WA

Sad to say that I will not be renewing my subscription for a while. I have been too busy with a lot of other stuff and though I really have enjoyed chatting and meeting people here at WA, I will be taking a break for a few months, till things settle down again.I wish you all every success here and look forward to catching up with you again when I return. Cheers and good luck.

How to recover a Hijacked Web Browser.

There are quite a lot of nasty little hijackers that are just waiting to jump into your PC and hold you hostage, while they dictate where you go and what you see in your web browser, then if you want to get rid of them, they demand money from you, only to re-appear later on. Here in Australia, we are not immune to this, but if you want to get rid of these problems, you generally have to pay someone to do it for you. Depending on their competence, you are either going to end up with 1: a clean

70th anniversary of the D-Day landings

Tonight as I write this from my home in South Australia, is the 5th of June. 70 years ago, at this same time in England, 24,000 US, British and Canadian paratroops were checking their equipment for the last time, for soon after midnight, they would spearhead the invasion into France that would be the tipping point in the war against Hitler in an tactical military operation called Overlord. As the sun began to break the dawn on the beaches of Normandy, over 150,000 allied troops would have spill

Annoying WordPress stuff...

One of the most annoying things I have found with WordPress is the block of text that appears under the "Comments" form. You probably know what I am talking about, it looks like this: I have been annoyed by this for quite a while, looking all through just about every checkbox in the setup and appearance parts of my dashboard to turn this off, all to no avail. Finally I decided to just do what I knew best and kill it directly from my pages by editing the PHP code. This is not a practice I wo

The Final Frontier...

In my hunt for the Holy Grail Niche, I started to digress, thinking of the new advancements man had made since the dawn of civilization, in the garden paradise we call the planet Earth. From the Neolithic gatherings in a cave warmed by fire, man has stepped out and forward to discover metals, agriculture, medicine, art, education, industry, technology, space and the Internet. And somewhere within the early development of the primal community, came the first utterances of language. I want you to

You Need A Responsive Site

Responsive websites have been made made available by new techniques in HTML and CSS. The new standards you need to look for are found in templates written in HTML5 and CSS3. In a recent study made last year by Google, there was an estimated 6Billion Mobile devices in use around the world, and less than 2Billion personal Desktop or Laptop computers. (I find this a bit of a sad figure, considering that only about 3Billion people own a toothbrush) Anyhow, with such a huge Mobile market, it is vit

Making Money On-Line

During the 90's I worked for a computer repair company in a small town in the Wheat-belt of South Australia. It was just before the introduction of Windows '95. The Internet was still used primarily for education and BBS with only a handful of actual "Web Pages" When you wanted to go to a site, you needed a whole list of addresses in the IP format: 203.109.221.19. for example, which would connect you to a BBS server (Bulletin Board Service) and from there you could scroll through lists of tex
