I’m working on installing a new theme for my blog and I’m doing it live. So if things look a bit strange for the next hour or so, please be understanding. The content will still be here, just the presentation might be a bit erratic until I have finished!
The core changes have been completed and everything looks to be stable again.
Now on to some fine tuning 🙂
For the last few months I have been working with Chris Lang, the author of *_”How Investing in Commercial Property Really Works”_*, on the software behind his new “Commercial Property Investment LAB”:http://info.4results.biz/lab/launch.html. We are now in the official launch phase and Chris has released a video which contains his view of the Australian commercial property market.
The video contains what Chris calls a *”Dire Warning”* about these markets in the near future. If you’re in this market, or contemplating getting into the market tou owe it to yourself to “watch the video”:http://info.4results.biz/lab/warning-video.html
For a few years now I have used an Open Source software product called “SiteBar”:http://sitebar.org to store all of my bookmarks. Last week I set up a new hosted service based on SiteBar called “MyEasyLinks”:http://myeasylinks.com
New accounts on MyEasyLinks are *FREE* and an account will let you store all of your bookmarks on the MyEasyLinks server so that you can…
* have access to your bookmarks from any browser
* have access to your bookmarks from any computer
* share your bookmarks with friends, family or colleagues
If you use a computer in your office, and another at home, you’ll never experience that “What was that site” feeling!
Sign up now, while it’s still free.
Earlier this month I took a look at MySpace and created my own “MySpace”:http://myspace.com/19seven
Tonight, I was taking a look at what was there and discovered that I can post to a “blog in myspace”:http://blog.myspace.com/19seven
I’ve posted a couple of thoughts sparked by that browsing including one that concludes…
bq. 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!

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”:http://speedread4results.com
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”:http://www.atc.org.au 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”:https://www.atc.org.au/members/ to this worthy cause.
