Dubai
Posted by: Owen on Saturday, 6th Jan, 2007
I was speaking Pierre on MSN a couple of days ago. He’s a good mate of mine, actually,
he’s my wife’s cousin; so I suppose closer than a mate. Anyway, he’s based in Dubai
at the moment as he’s working with Emirate Airlines.
I’m not sure where he’s living, but I was looking at a website about the [...]
Opera Glasses
Posted by: Owen on Saturday, 6th Jan, 2007
Have you ever been to the theatre and wished you could see things just a bit better? Last time I went I found myself wishing I have a pair of binoculars to get closer to the action. I’m not sure if I’d go for the binocular like the picture in this post as they’re a [...]
Learning about SEO?
Posted by: Owen on Thursday, 28th Dec, 2006
Everyone
with a website needs to learn a bit of Search Engine Optimisation. In the last few
weeks I’ve put up a few links and advice myself, as I’ve been optimising my own sites.
However, a good way to learn is to listen to a Podcast which you can listen to in
the car, walking to work and [...]
25Peeps
Posted by: Owen on Thursday, 28th Dec, 2006
I’ve just made it through the queue and my blog is appearing on 25Peeps.
But the only way I can stay there is if people click on my image or this
referral link. It’s a bit of a dodgy site, so NSFW, but I’m bound to get some
clicks as people will be wondering what someone in a [...]

Shopping Cart Solutions and Work from Home
Posted by: Owen on Tuesday, 19th Dec, 2006
I was looking through osCommerce yesterday
as it’s one of the packages I get free as part of my hosting package. Not quite sure
what to expect I decided to do some reading up about how it compares with other packages
available on the web. I came across an excellent post on HomeBizBlogger that
talks about just that. It’s [...]
Getting financial advice online
Posted by: Owen on Monday, 18th Dec, 2006
The nice thing about the Internet is how pervasive it has become and how easy it is
to find all the information you need. It’s particularly good if you want to compare
products and services from different vendors. I was trawling around this evening looking
for information on home insurances and there’s tons of information to sift through.
