I'm in MySpace

Earlier this month I took a look at MySpace and created my own MySpace

Tonight, I was taking a look at what was there and discovered that I can post to a blog in myspace

I’ve posted a couple of thoughts sparked by that browsing including one that concludes…

I am still at a loss to understand how most of the grown up world has completely forgotten that they were themselves mere portends of the End of The World when they were young themselves!

Take a look

Speed Reading

I have always believed that the ability to speed read is critical to success … the importance of keeping up-to-date with emerging thoughts and trends can never be understated.

During my time as a student, I trained myself to speed read, and recall that, with a young brain, I could read at well over 1,000 words per minute with near perfect comprehension.

However, I the bulk of my reading these days is of the electronic type and I had become aware that my reading skills of the “dead tree” variety were somewhat rusty.

Last week I was introduced to an Speed Reading Audio Course which both confirmed that my reading skills were distinctly waning, and reversed the trend in just a few minutes!

You can find out more, and buy the course, from my new site SpeedRead4Results.com

Australia Tibet Council

fter much development, review and some false starts, a new web site has been launched with my assistance. It is for the Australia Tibet Council a not-for-profit organisation campaigning for a Free Tibet.

The site covers an interesting range of services for its readership, and for members of the organisation…

  • an information portal
  • a place to purchace Tibet related merchandise
  • an email campaign manager for guided lobbying
  • online donation and subscription management
  • online mailing list manager

I make no claims regarding the content of the site (that is all the work of the excellent executive staff and their helpers), but I am rather pleased with my contribution to the look of the site and the range of services that are provided.

For the record, the site is based on…

  • Joomla for the portal elements
  • Virtuemart (a Joomla plugin) for the merchantising component
  • phpList for the email list management
  • subscription management by a ruby on rails application developed by me

BTW, you should seriously consider making a donation to this worthy cause.
