I use many different applications. I like using programs dedicated for one purpose, rather than the sort who uses a few applications to do many different things.  The Major reason I change from one app to another that I use is that they are either processor, disk or memory intensive.  What I have noticed is [...]

One of the problems that I have seen lately is that not all leaders stay for the full term, when there is nothing left to achieve, like an elite athlete retiring after they have all the records then there is a void. Other leadership transitions can occur through party room battles, death, illness or similar; the fact is that a leader that did not face the election is the leader of the government. This individual then sets their own policies, agendas and ideas and starts to put them into motion. This assumption of power is not a problem if one assumes that each politician is only there to look after their own electorates, and because of this then if the majority of electorates support the new leader then everything is all good. If however you see the government as being affirmed and the representatives are elected on a geographical area only for convenience of getting people to form the government and as a pool of ministers for the duly elected government. where this view is taken then the leader is elected by proxy by the people at the previous election, and when they go, then there is a leader that the general populous did not agree upon.

if your site is important to you, and you can afford the fees then I would recommend a VPS over any shared hosted solution, as control, backups, lack of hardware support is something that all but the dedicated should need

The title says it all... After a blogging holiday I am back with more spare time, fresh full of ideas and new enthusiasm, I did note however that it was hard to get windows live writer and start my first post back and I thought I'd share some of the reasons with you

.| Type |. Although people like me have had hotmail email addresses for over ten years, it does not mean that using this address in the workplace is either credible or professional. I do not think that using a common, free email looks good on a resume to a top tier law firm. Nor does sending emails to prospective clients or even new social networking associates with an email that is littered with ads seem an approach that means that people will take you seriously. Using the email address provided to you by your Internet Service provider does not look much better (In Australia the ominous bigpond.com.au address prevails) and both of these have the disadvantage that the services could end at any time. I have found a solution (I have not been paid for this) that will provide you with reliable, free, professional looking email for the price of going to a movie once a year. It also means that you can get your own name at your domain (andrew rather than and0ew8492 or similar that you will get at hotmail).

Completely avoiding the double entendres that could be drawn out of being a blogger that Does Follow; I have now decided to open all comments on this blog to let their url’s not be shielded by a "link condom".  I really like the idea of people commenting on my blog and encourage anyone to do [...]

What is Mind mapping? Mind mapping is method of brainstorming that uses visual cues for putting thoughts onto paper. This produces an easy to read result that is visual, fun, fast and creative. Many different ideas and unexpected connections can be easily drawn limiting words and increasing understanding. A picture, idea or central word is used to begin with, branches are then drawn out, free associations and other words are added as they appear in one's brain as they arise in the course of thinking about or studying the topic. From these nodes, further branches are drawn. This can create a web like image, ideas can further be linked via arrows - In a short period of time many connections can be drawn for a single word.

You may have seen boxes appear in the last few months on people’s blogs that look like: I have one on the right hand side of my blog.  This service is called Blogrush.  The idea is that you sign up your blog and they will display your posts headlines on other people’s blogs the same amount [...]

 It may be possible that some questions can not be answered, others are those that are not impossible but there is nothing that you have ever heard to explain the phenomenon, below are some of the questions I have been asking myself for some time where I can not find answers…. Are they answerable - [...]

When you use a smiley or emoticon - do people really know what you are saying? There seem to be many problems in communication / conveying mesasges that arise because of the lack of consistency in the use of smilies and emoticons. I propose that there needs to be a standard usage across the board.
