new web address for my site

my website is now hosted (well, actually for some time now) here.

A Whole Other Digital Security Risk

Did you know that digital copiers have hard drives to which they save copies, print jobs, and scanned documents?  Did you know that if a copier is resold the new buyer could possibly access thousands (tens of thousands!) of documents, many of them confidential?

Cashback Websites

I have a saying that goes something along the lines of ‘A penny saved is 1.22 pennies earned’ and while I’ll admit it’s not the catchiest of proverbs it certainly does hold some truth for the majority of us.  Owing to the fact that you’re taxed on almost everything you earn, it is genuinely better to save a penny than earning an additional one and fortunately the Internet offers various methods of allowing us to do just that.

Money Saving Expert (www.moneysavingexpert.com) for example is a site that I turn to time and again to ensure that I’m always getting the best deal on my current account, credit card, utilities and so forth.  As well as offering news and comparisons of various financial products on the market is also gives you a heads of to any discount vouchers or special offers valid at places such as restaurants and supermarkets which you would most likely visit anyway.

Keeping with the financial theme, I’m amazed at how many people are unaware of the various ‘cash back’ sites that are present on the Internet.  One which I’ve just started using is Top Cash Back (www.topcashback.co.uk), a site which takes only a couple of minutes to sign up to before you can start earning money on purchased that you would most likely be making anyway.  Top Cash back has no set up or membership fees and the idea essentially is that if you visit one of their sponsors via the site then you’ll actually get a cash reward paid straight in to your account.

There are hundreds of big name featured retailers including Play.com, Tesco, Asda, B&Q and Dell and along with the usual couple of per cent back you occasionally come across an offer which is ridiculously generous.  As an example I recently signed up for O2 broadband at home which, as an existing O2 mobile customer, would usually cost me £7.50 a month for the 16mb package, including unlimited bandwidth.  By going via Top Cash Back I actually got a £75 cash back bonus meaning that during the contractual year my O2 Broadband has actually only cost me £1.25 a month (£7.50 a Month x 12 Months – £75 Cashback = £15 per annum or £1.25 monthly).

The service works as retailers pay Top Cash Back to be featured with the intention that they can then accumulate more customers by also offering them rewards to buy their products.  It’s only a beneficial system for the customer if they buy things they would only have purchased anyway; I also signed up to Sky HD last month which again was something I was planning to do but simply by visiting this website first I got an extra £50 straight in to my bank account.  It’s just too easy!

Hello,

I chose to do this webpage to show the different activities I do on a weekly basis. I belong to a group that interpret songs insing language to those who can hear or speak. I also play basketball on a seven day adventist league although u may see me briefly in some games that’s because I’m not very good and my minutes are limited, i also like to travel with my wife and our frist trip was to las vegas, I have put some pictures. Hope you all enjoy my site , the only problem I encounter was time and not having internet, other than that the site is very entuitive.

My motorcycle site.

It’s the spring again and bikes are out. Motorcycle fans can’t seem to get enough. We have bike shows all year round, make trips to showrooms just to look, and polish our bikes every chance we get. I figured that dedicating my site to my motorcycle would be appropriate this time of year and would enable me to share the information and knowledge that I gain while doing maintenance.

Performing maintenance on on older bikes can be tricky at times. Before web forums when people needed help with maintenance they turned to their shop manuals. Now, a simple Google search can help us to find other people that went through the same projects that we may be struggling with. Experienced people (or not!) will even offer assistance and suggestions. Older bikes, still yield less posts and it can still be difficult to find information. My site, will at least add one more resource to the Kawasaki Vulcan. I hope to add relevant information, to those who are doing such a particular search.

Drinking Largely…

elmundo

“A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain; And drinking largely sobers us again,” these words of Alexander Pope inspired me to my final project. I had initially wanted to share a site i am developing for my organization but something dramatic happened over the weekend that warranted a change in my project. Although i knew time was not on my side i could not hide the excitement when i was able to finally recover data from one of my hard drives which had pictures i just could not afford to lose. So great was the excitement that i decided to instead do a gallery of some of my recovered pictures spiced with a few of my favorite quotes and a poem. I had great fun doing this project but the greatest fun was the recovery of my beloved data. I may not be as savvy i want to be but my confidence and encouragement is at its best right now. As i copied my recovered data to safety i could not but be grateful to David and Dan for provoking and nurturing my hanker to drink largely from the Pierien spring….

Final Project: Engagement Site!

I created a page that had the story of my engagement to my girlfriend this past April. I included some small photos in order to tell the story on one page. On another page I put a large photo of us from that day. Lastly, I have a page I will use to put information in Japanese on (since I studied abroad and will have friends and host family there checking it out). For now I simply translated the headline into Japanese and learned how to enter Japanese characters in HTML. Lastly, on the Japanese page, I placed a table of stores I think we may register at. The table doesn’t serve much function yet, but it was part of the parameters of the project!

I hope you all enjoy. I’ve reserved a .com from GoDaddy and am excited to spruce it up over the summer for information once we’ve chosen a date, a church, a reception venue, and so on. I am considering using a WYSIWYG editor to author a Flash site… but I may keep it basic HTML as well. I am also working on some CSS stuff from the books I purchased in taking this course.

View the site here!

Thanks! Good luck everyone!

Website for a book club

For my final project, I created a little website based on an informal book club I have Book Club with Wine. I thought it would be nice to organize the names of books we have read, and give everyone a central place to add ideas. In the future I will use one of the “Announcement” pages to allow members to make blog-like posts. Attendance is not the same at each meeting, so a website will keep everyone clued in to what is coming up.

I used HTML to create the table section of the site. I was confused when characters I would type in the HTML editor would be transformed into other characters when I went back to review the HTML later. I could always clean up the commands in the WYSIWYG screen, which was quite refreshing. I use some basic HTML to edit a website at my job, and while I like that every detail on the screen has an explanation based in HTML and do not enjoy the mysterious spacing or text property issues (similar to the experience one can have with Microsoft Word), being able to change colors, sizes, and fonts instantly is worth it.
