Hi I am really wanting an ipad and possibly going to reserve one, but not sure if i want 3g or not, or more so if i can wait that long to get it lol! anyway check this link i found for iPad Covers though i cant find any stocok of them on the site yet!
What a week! if I had not enough to contend with by preparing for my holidays my wife took ill on Wednesday with what seemed like just a flu or bug. She had progressively got worse each day and has not eaten for last 2 days.
I checked on NHS website for symptoms of Swine Flu and she met them all! Sikness, headache, loss of appetite, lack of fluid intake, temprature over 38, muscle and joint pain. I input the answers to all the questions and was output a code to present to a local collection point for Tamiflu which I collected yesterday.
As of yet she still hasn’t picked up at all and had not eaten either, so still quite concerned at the moment. Just hoping if anyone else in the family is going to get it that it happens in time for a full recovery before the 4th of November for our trip to florida 
Ok, I know how I always harp on about being busy etc etc but one of my friends sent me an email with a picture of me on a bill board 
and I since lost about 10 hours on this site because it is so so cool!
Here is the picture he sent me:
So I took a look at the site which allows you to create funny pictures and here are some of my current favourites (bearing in mind they add new image effects everyday so my favourites will of probably changed by next week :p
The Pamela Anderson one is my particular favourite lol!
You have to visit the site, you don’t need to register, just simply choose a photo effect and make funny photos by uploading a picture from your hard drive, should take even a novice less than 10 seconds to achieve.
If you come up with anything that you think is better than mine then post me a link to it in the comments i’d love to see your funny pics
Having just launched a website for a client about Scuba and Deep Sea Diving I was soon to be dropped in the deep end my self as I was asked to Launch and Promote a Chat Forum for the site! At first I thought this is an interesting project for me to take on, how wrong I was! I would normally start off by creating several forum identities and then start talking to myself to create some atmosphere and then sit back once genuine forum posters started to populate the forum.
My personal niche of authority is weight loss and having launched over 20 diet/fitness websites in the last 2 years you can safely say I can produce weight loss related content on the fly without a problem, but this was a whole new ball game I would normally post around 50/60 messages to myself when starting to get a forum started and then sit back but on this site I just drew a mental blank, I posted around 5 posts under 3 accounts and then couldnt come up with anything else, I literaly couldnt think , it’s one of those niches you need to be in to write about imho, and no amount of Google’ing was about to make me an authority!
I tried to generate interest for the site on other similar related forums which ended pretty quickly as soon as the site admin’s noticed the link in my signature to my forums so starting to think failure I was pretty much out of ideas until the penny dropped! Would it be possible to pay someone a small fee to write this content? But not just one person lots and lots of people! I started to search the net looking for some outsourcing agencies that fitted my needs which none did because they where all geared up towards larger projects, I didnt want 1 person to do 40 hours work I wanted 40 people to do 1 hours work!
I then found “Short Task” a website dedicated to short, small outsourcing tasks! They have literally thousands of members who work from home and within 3 hours had over 20 forums posts by 15 different members All well written sensible posts that fitted the site niche perfectly! Within 1 week the forum had over 250 posts and had started attracting real visitors who then started to contribute to the forums as well.
Short Task was the perfect solution and worked out very cheap at under $80 total cost! The client was equally happy also. (whats more a couple of those posters still post on the forum to this day because they are genuinely interested in Deep Sea Diving!)
I have just been saved $5,000 thanks to using IntegraScan Scam Protection Tool! I had been spending the best part of the last 10 days in negotiations with a company to buy their website off them, the site was a weight loss website which has a great amount of traffic and a very active blog. I was wanting to push the majority of the visitors to another site of mine as well as use the database to let this sites current members know about my other site.
Anyway without getting too side tracked I had checked out the site, spoke to the site owner on the phone as well as via msn had also checked the stats of the site and had a look at the google analytics everything was looking great. But one thing just didnt check out, the site “owner” had no details that matched the sites “Who Is” records which to me was a big issue, but the guy was receiving my mail on the main sites domain name which did make me think he was legit, he also granted me cpanel access which made me feel more comfortable but that one issue was too big to overlook so I went over to IntegraScan SSN Verify service and punched in the guys name and it had no record what so ever of him! I then asked him to email me a scan of his ID Card which he did, so he obviously didn’t know what kind of checks can be done with a Social Security Number!
As such I had his real name, address and criminal record within 5 minutes and found out he had already done 3 years for fraud! Case Numbers, who he lives with, who is in his family other alias names! everything you can imagine. So I contacted the Sacremento Police and gave them all his info and I’m now waiting to hear what has happened but I have also managed to contact the real site owners who have confirmed the site isn’t actually for sale and their server has been hacked!
Be careful with any online transaction and were possible consider using an escrow service.
This week my weight loss challenge will start on my diethell website if you are looking to lose weight please take a look you have till friday to sign up and its all free!
