Free trials should be simple

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

In the market for some collaboration software? Epazz.com are offering a free 30 day trial of their new collaboration software, only hitch being you have to contact them to set it up. That doesn’t exactly make it easy now does it?
Personally I’m not a fan of that sort of business model, if you want people [...]

Hocking home loans

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

If there is one thing that frightens me when it comes to companies hocking loans, it’s when they roll out the “Application with a bad credit history, mortgage arrears, missed payments or CCjs are welcome”.
This tells me that the company is more than likely going to be charging an exorbitantly high interest rate in order [...]

Storage solutions for a graphic novel addiction

Sunday, July 15th, 2007

I’ve just ordered up big on some more “graphic novels” to feed my new found addiction. My issue now is storage. I have three distinct piles at the moment, with more to come, but hardly anywhere to store them. I need to get my hands on some storage cabinets. I’m a big fan of the [...]

Online coupons are the real deal

Sunday, July 15th, 2007

If you buy stuff online then you really need to know about coupon codes. Coupon codes are the online shopping version of the discount shopper dockets you sometimes get in stores. Since I found out about them, I have made a conscious effort to look up coupon codes before buying anything online and as a [...]

Burn Notice

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

You wake up. Cold and alone in an unknown environment. Nothing about your surroundings seems familiar. All you have are the clothes on your back. What do you do? How would you survive?

Spyware is not your friend

Friday, June 8th, 2007

As you read this, my laptop is almost definitely still sitting in the HP repair shop, waiting for a guy with a pocket protector to fix it for me. What happened to it? I don’t know. Things just stopped working. The DVD drive being the main offender. Whether it was a virus, dodgy spyware, or [...]

AGLOCO Viewbar Downloaded

Monday, June 4th, 2007

Ok, third AGLOCO post in the one day, but at last I have something decent to report. I have downloaded the viewbar and I’m using it as I type this. It’s quite unobtrusive, just looks like a Windows tool bar. To have it running 5 hours a month is really not going to hurt too [...]

Park West Gallery proclaims itself to be the largest collection of fine art in the world. Whilst I would have assumed that title would have gone to a French museum, there’s no doubt that they have a lot of art. Park West Gallery holds fine art auctions in both the United States and Canada.
