I just got a special deal

by

I’ve been keeping this under wraps, but I just got two of my sites listed in a special, and very large network. I feel like I just got one of those secured loans or something.

Big things are happening over here and I’ve got to work hard to keep up!

This network is pretty much invite only and comes with a special advertising network deal as well. I don’t want to say specifically what it is just yet. I’ll officially announce it next week, and you’ll probably see a few minor changes to the site that will reflect my addition into this network sometime next week as well.

If I’m correct inclusion in this network will result in a bit of extra traffic for the two sites that have become part of ???? Network.

I’m so excited! Wish I could say more!





Twenga – your UK shopping search engine

by

logo-beta.gif Feel like doing a little shopping? Well if you happen to live in the UK you might want to gander over to Twenga. Twenga is a UK based shopping search engine that uses proprietary crawl technology in order to provide the best shopping deals for their members.

The site is easy to navigate. There are category listings on the left side of the main page, and all pages have category tabs across the top so that you can easily browse through the site without having to return to the home page first.

You can find just about anything you need on Twenga. You’ll find great deals on Photo equiptment, camcorders, digital cameras, mobile phones, MP3 players, computers, Household appliances, Homewares, Linen, Furniture, Gardening – DIY, Fashion accessories, clothing and many more products.

Another thing that I like about this site is that once you select a product that you want to know more about, for example this Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50, you can read a detailed description of the products. When you scroll down the product page you’ll see a list of online stores that sell this Panasonic model.

Other features that you might enjoy are the fact that you can read articles of the products that you’re interested in, as well as write a rating yourself. I believe that you can also rate the products that are listed as well.

If you happen to be browsing the site and see an item that a friend might like, perhaps some jewellery, you can click on the “Recommend to a friend” link that’s located directly under the product rating on the right of the product description and tell them about interesting item that you found.

It seems that they’ve thought of just about everything on this site that you might need.

Our Computer is fixed?

by

Well our computer power supply was delivered yesterday morning. I was still in bed when it arrived, so Chris, being home on his day off decided to install it into our desktop computer.

Yeah, it seems to work ok. There’s only one problem. When we start the computer it comes up with an error message telling us to press F1 to configure the computer or F2 to ignore and continue loading windows. Like I said it’s working fine, but obviously if it’s giving an error message when we start the computer there’s something wrong.

Chris didn’t look at the computer again yesterday because I was on it most of the time, but we’ll take another look at it later today and make sure that everything is connected securely. The man who sold us the part suggested that the connections might not be secure and we’d already thought of that.

Anyone else have any ideas? It’s a new replacement power supply for an HP desktop computer.

Update – we tried all the connectors and it still comes up as an error. It doesn’t want to load drive A so we’ve just disabled that drive for now. Otherwise it’s working fine. Fingers crossed.

Oh the poor thing!

Why do people do this to their pets? Yes, it is kind of cute – sometimes – but this poor thing looks like it’s got a cake on it’s head! Maybe it is a cake with blue icing and colored candy balls?

Do you think it was the dogs birthday? or was he or she just a guest?
