I’ve just visited Money island which is being promoted heavily on TV at the moment. I’m interested in the whole field of finance education but that’ll be another posting 
So, I visited and it’s a kid oriented kind of game. First thing is entering your name, cool. It’s all in flash so I can’t give links to individual games. (more…)
This surprises me, I’ve just hooked into the large number of kiwi blogs that exist - led by kiwiblog.co.nz and started looking around for topics of interest. There’s nothing on this on the blogs I’ve visited… (more…)
I’ve just written a script and submitted it at Weberdev.com, you can see it at http://www.weberdev.com/get_example-4125.html
After I closed down Botspotter I was a bit pushed for time and didn’t stop the data files being written from PC Property Manager. Out of site, out of mind and all that.
So yesterday when I needed to edit a script and saw the code I commented it out and went to delete the unwanted files - only poor old SmartFTP couldn’t even display the directory. My webhost wouldn’t let Putty in so the only thing to do was to use PHP to ditch the lot.
So, you get stuck, you know where to go…
In New Zealand we have laws stating the level of supervision required for children under 14. Should be really simple shouldn’t it? (more…)
I have created a New Zealand (NZ) Directory over on my Botspotter site (gotta use it for something) and it even has an NBO category to hold all the sites that I found when scanning the NBO site which I suspect of proforma scams (see earlier post on NBO).
I was going to see if I could add them to my Property Investment Directory but decided to keep them quite separate and to use Duncan Carver’s script.
The directory system itself was a breeze to install with the only issue being, perhaps, the naming of the folders. You do need to be on a *nix box with safe mode turned off. It imported with ease and allowed me to get started with a large amount of content from NZ DMOZ. It gives a few key links at the bottom of the page and you’re required to leave them in place - no doubt paying for Duncan’s time And I feel the default templates should automatically state that some of the categories will be boosted by DMOZ data.
All in all though, a big thumbs up to Duncan. Thank you!
