3) You can ask me anything!  With the power of FormSpring, you can ask me pretty much anything about business, personal, or Random. :)

Hope to hear from you all soon!  Enjoy the new changes!

Blurb – The iPhone application

0

I’ve downloaded this new app which is very cool.

Imagine this situation. You’re in a club, filled with people on the dancefloor, you at the table and your mate at the bar.

You have no reception and no way of getting through unless you brave the herd and spend 5 minutes just trying to get through.

Been in this situation? I know I have!

Well here’s what you do. Download “Blurb”, type in your message, adjust the colour and font, press play and hold up your iPhone. Simple!

I used this app at my cousin’s birthday party in a club to tell him drinks were ready. It was great!

You can download the application here:

Here is the first of many free iPhone applications which I’ve downloaded and I will be recommending on my blog.

For all those who have seen the 1980’s film “Tron”, here’s a free iPhone application you will LOVE!  It’s called “Light Bike Free”.

I couldn’t stop playing this one!

New iphone, love it!

0

Finally!!!

After 3 long years of waiting, I’ve finally got myself an iPhone! And I love it!

There are so many applications to use (for example I’m writing this blog post from it right now while lying in bed).

It’s true what they say. There is an app for everyone, and more being created every day. Just a small example is that there is an app for:

- eBay
- paypal
- wordpress
- amazon
- pricerunner

And so much more for entertainment, productivity, business, etc

So here’s what I’m going to do. For as long as I can, I’m going to review a new application that I feel is worthwhile to download every so often.

Keep an eye out for these quick 2 line reviews and enjoy!

Excluding Pages in Wordpress

0

For the past couple of days (coming close to a week) I’ve tried many different things to exclude certain pages from my wordpress Blog menu.

At the top of the page you will see the links to other pages. Some of these I didn’t want to show up and wanted other people to see them when I sent the link, but not show up in the navigation.

I tried to amend the code in the header. I tried to make the page ‘Private’ (but this just meant that only I could view them.

Now I’ve tried a plugin. It works! And it’s so easy!! WOOHOO!

- Go to: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/ ,

- Download the file

- Go to your wordpress Admin section

- Click on ‘Add new’ under the plugins tab

- Upload the zip file you just downloaded

-Activate.

Then all you have to do is create or edit one of your pages, and then under the “Exclude Pages” section UNCLICK the ‘Include this page in user menus’.

Simple!

I hope this helps!  Enjoy!

Are London’s Police taking the mickey?

1

The Metropolitan Police’s mission statement is simply “Working together for a safer London”

What would you think when someone mentioned the police, or you saw them driving around?

I know my initial thoughts would be:

- A group who enforce the law
- Who ensure others practice the law
- Practice the law fully themselves whilst setting an example
- Create a safer environment for the public.

I want to highlight on the point “…Practice the law fully themselves whilst setting an example…”

I was driving back home earlier and I saw something which really made me think. I saw a police officer in a police van driving down the road. In the space of 30 – 45 seconds I saw a number of things which I would question “What is going on?”

1) A car was parked up on the side, with their hazards on, blatantly picking someone up. Not a problem I hear you ask… This was a narrow road with just enough space for 2 cars to pass without having someone stop on the side. The car that stopped had caused a small tailback and a safety hazard. This police van just drove straight past it without slowing down or pretty much blinking an eyelid.

2) On approaching the roundabout the police van was going into the 2nd exit, and note this roundabout had 3 exits, The one he came from, and 2 others he could go into. You’d think that he would observe basic traffic rules such as… I don’t know… SIGNALLING?? Not a chance in happyville! Not only did he NOT signal right for the exit he wanted to go to, he proceeded to NOT signal left upon his entry into the exit. As drivers we’ve always been told to signal properly so that the other road drivers and users can be informed. I know some drivers don’t do this but for an organisation to not do this is appalling.

3) On getting to his exit, the policeman put on his left signal for about a quarter of a second and went up on to the pavement to park IMMEDIATELY after an island. Safety hazard? Yup! You betcha!

4) [And this one takes the cake]. I thought to myself, ok… maybe it’s a raid or something with the big van, or some important business that he had to jump on to the pavement. As I passed the van, I saw another policeman getting out of the passenger side. As I went ahead, I looked in my rear view mirror and saw the second policeman…. Taking out his BICYCLE from the back.

So what was the conclusion??? Yup. One policeman giving a lift to his mate and ignoring 2 to 3 traffic rules and ignoring a potential road hazard.

Nice. And this is where our taxes are going. Makes you think doesn’t it…?
