The folks at National Business Online (NBO) have just rubbed me up the wrong way - completely!

They rang my husband 4 times this morning insisting that he urgently renew his advertising contract with them. He was busy and got annoyed by the 4 calls and caught my attention. (more…)

You have to hand it to the Chinese - headlines this: 12,575 Illegal Internet Cafes Shut Down make you respect their guts in continuing to set the internet cafes up. Despite all the bad things the ‘net delivers so easily to our desktops, the freedom of information we take for granted will mean that thousands will continue to challenge the systems that try to prevent it’s spread.

Oh George, you and your cronies use the exact same script. (more…)

Just occurred to me that it might be a good idea to have a post pointing back to the main part of my Sarah King site. (more…)

Like many people one of my websites has a links directory attached. The amount of time given to it varies but it’s been well worth it. My site has gone from being non-existent to being on page 1 all the time. (more…)

Most of us get sent “funny” emails which usually aren’t, but sometimes there’s a gem within and you think “I’d like to save that image, it’s cute” but usually you never use it.

My avatar at Digitalpoint forums is one such cutie sent by the infamous “Mark and Richard” of Waiheke Island.

However it started life as an embedded image in the email. Couldn’t save it because it wasn’t an attachment, couldn’t do a save as because Microsoft Outlook wanted to convert it to a bitmap (not good for animated gifs). When I viewed the source all I got was

<IMG src=”cid:004301c5290d$0e52aca0$0401010a@D2T8GC1S”>
or
<img src=’cid:rainchecklogo’ alt=’Raincheck Logo’ />

So, after trawling through Google looking for the right way to save the images I emailed them to my gmail account where they are shown as regular images with their proper names.

Seems webmail has a use when you’re at your regular desk after all

I’m a long time fan of the gentle wit of Non Sequitur and the phrase “Dinosaur Blogs” must surely end up as everyday slang, alongside “snail mail” and “land line”.
