Our Nintendo Switch Left JoyCon (blue) controller had the dreaded drifting issue and I managed to fix it. Throughout this article, I will be using the word JoyCon instead of the official Joy-Con term. The problem started about a few weeks ago and the kids would often complain that their character would go “crazy” and […]
In two of my previous posts (200 Days of running still going and Spartan Virtual race – 2020), I mentioned how I use Zoom to conduct fitness workouts with my friends. For those of you who have used Zoom for workouts know that sharing the workout screen doesn’t allow you to see the other participants […]
I recently noticed I had a number of comments on YouTube that I wasn’t even aware of. Some dated back 6 months ago and I apologise to my readers and subscribers for not responding. I have caught up so far and also decided to check why I didn’t receive any comment notifications either by email […]
Have you joined a Strava challenge, completed it and was waiting for your Trophy but never received it? This happened to me a few times so I gave up and didn’t join any further challenges until my son Jayden worked out what the problem was. He too is on Strava and he completed the 5 […]
My Gmail looked different from what I was normally used to. The left-hand side menu bar was only displaying icons rather than the folder structures and menu names. It was unusual because I don’t believe I changed any settings or intentionally changed something to make it appear like that. This is how it looked like: […]
On the weekend I decided to do the Spartan Virtual Race after a friend suggested I should try it. I haven’t done any Spartan races in the past but my son wanted to try it and I thought I’d also give it a go. Since I actually run every day the running wasn’t going to […]
We recently updated our Veggie Meals Logo. Check it out and what do you think? I’ve had to change the shape and colours of the original logo so it can be used on the website. Here’s the updated logo we used on the website: My wife worked with a graphics designer Instagram: @obliviousdesign_ so if […]
As you can probably tell from my Strava runs, I’ve been running quite a bit – I believe in being consistent. Just a few days ago I ran a track that was 22.28 km. The distance was not important but it was actually completing the track that made it worthwhile. Why is this related to […]
Almost a year ago, I purchased a pull/chin-up bar and wanted to install somewhere in my garage. Yes, it was almost a year and I didn’t get a chance to install it but to be honest I have been avoiding this task since I knew how much effort was involved in installing the chin-up bar […]
I’m starting to do more videos reviews of products and needed to find a way to do better top down videos. This was my previous setup: I had a tripod connected to an extension arm and the YI 4K+ camera attached to the end. This is the camera that I have: It worked out OK, […]
My wife encountered an issue with loading her company’s Facebook page on her computer and asked me to put my IT hero cape on to fix her problem. This was quite an unusual problem and this was the error page she was getting: NOTE: For the latest article relating to this issue read FACEBOOK ACCOUNT […]
If you’ve been an affiliate marketer you have probably heard about Clickbank. Clickbank is an affiliate network marketplace that helps sellers promote their product and services and help affiliate advertisers earn a commission for each sale they make. Many years ago I started using Clickbank to promote a product and never really got anywhere. In […]
This week I conducted a training session for one of our Advertise Me clients. The training session included demonstrating a new module we created called Staff Rostering for our AdvertiseMe.TV digital signage platform. The training session was originally scheduled for early March 2020 but due to some of the COVID-19 restrictions, we had to delay […]
I wanted to share with you a tool I use for our Advertise Me work called MeshCommander. It’s an open-source tool to manage Intel AMT devices. Now we use Intel NUCs for our digital signage players and we always prefer to use a digital signage device that allows us to remotely manage even when the […]
I hit another milestone and managed to run at least 5KM per day for 200 days. You can read my other posts here: 5KM FOR 30 CONSECUTIVE DAYS OF RUNNING or RUNNING 100 DAYS 5KM PER DAY – THE ENTREPRENEUR MINDSET How is my body feeling? My body is feeling fine and strong. It’s not […]
Do you use a running belt? Hate it how the belt bounces up and down and it makes the belt lose? Do you have to tighten it several times during your run? I’ve had this happened to me a few times and I finally managed to find a belt that pretty much stopped the bouncing […]
A few weeks ago the Australia dollar dropped at around US$0.58 because of the impact of the COVID19 pandemic. The market was very volatile and I took advantage of this situation and withdrew $1800 USD into my bank account. The exchange rate at the time was 1.655111 so this converted to $2,979.20 AUD – this […]
This morning 2/4/2020 8:05am AEST I viewed one of my Facebook Pages and discovered a lot of the thumbnail images on the Facebook Page were missing/broken. This is what I saw: I checked other Facebook Pages and they had the same problem. I thought maybe image caching was the issue so I tried clearing the […]
The Australian government has recently banned any travel between the Australian states and also travelling overseas. Any travellers who are entering Australia from overseas, they are required to isolate for 14 days either at home or in a hotel (depending on the state they live in). There are no exceptions to this rule and the […]
If you’re looking for a way to display your Instagram posts on your BuddyPress group page then I have a solution for you. You will obviously need to have a WordPress site with the BuddyPress plugin installed and I’ll assume BuddyPress is already configured and working. I’ll use our Veggie Meals website as an example […]
