The longer I’m a parent, the less I know about parenting
As a father of four, that might sound ridiculous. So, I am less inclined to give parenting advice.

Last week was the sort of week you get when you decide you are going to do something new. Everything conspires against you! But if you’re serious, you will survive those weeks, albeit feeling like you’ve taken one step back.
I had been working hard to get discussion forums up and running for my cricket blog […]
How is it that spam email is illegal, but spam phone calls (i.e. telemarketing) is not?
More people are offended and annoyed by telemarketing than spam. With spam you can limit it with spam filters, but there’s nothing you can do to filter spam telemarketing.

It will also contain descriptions of services - eg Technocrati, Adsense etc.
I hope you find it useful.

Of course you don’t believe me. Open the image in an image editing program then cut square B, and place it next to square A. Or use the eye dropper tool to select each square’s color and […]

So for someone thinking of starting a blog, hopefully they can read this and get both inspired and pragmatic about blogging. Hopefully not discouraged.

“Apple is working to expand iTunes and plans to open up an Australian version of its iTunes online music store Oct. 3, according to people familiar with the negotiations.”
As I’ve said before, it is imperative that Apple hold out for the best deal for consumers. If us Aussies only get half an iTMS, so be […]
