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 […]
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 […]
If you own or run a business and you need to track your customer support tickets then LiveAgent is a tool you should look into. I’ve recently had to set this up for our Advertise Me company. We previously used osTicket (an open source ticketing application) but due to some PHP version comparability issues we […]
Here’s a summary of what I’ve learnt from running at least 5 km per day for 100 days and how it relates to an entrepreneurs mindset. What started this journey was not planned at all. In the past few years, I’ve been running on a regular basis (maybe 1-3 times a week) and near the […]

Affiliate upsells is a way for an affiliate vendor to promote and sell additional product features. It is generally part of a sales funnel where several products are promoted to a customer. For an […]
I have two young kids and being a protective parent, I needed to find ways to keep them safe on the Internet and on their smart devices such as tablets, mobile phones and personal computers. I wanted to share free tools that I use to achieve this and more importantly give you an idea on […]
We decided to take a quick trip down to Canberra and spend 4 days there during the New Year. We drove down using our Renault KOLEOS and the drive took about 3 hours and 29 minutes (including stops). We rented an apartment in Canberra City (The Metropolitan – London Tower) and was in walking distance […]
I just noticed that I’ve hit the 1000km mark milestone. I don’t believe I’ve ever hit this mark in the past and I do hope I can continue this next year. I keep reminding myself that the World Health Organisation recommends 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity throughout the week – so that’s what […]
For those of you who were not aware, in Sydney we are currently experiencing a number of bushfires across NSW and most states and Australia. On Tuesday, the haze was pretty bad, probably the worst I’ve seen since living in Australia. According to this World Air Quality website the area that I live in had […]

Track your package: http://xxxx When I received this message, the first thing that popped in my head was: “Which item am I waiting for?” as I […]
In a previous post “Configuring the Cisco ASA” I described how I configured the Cisco ASA and I mentioned about the Cisco AnyConnect client. The Cisco AnyConnect client has been working well but recently I noticed the profile hostname changed and it was not loading the correct server. It was getting annoying so I wanted […]
I just created this short video for our ePosters Interactive Digital Signage solution using a cloud-based tool called inVideo. It didn’t take long for me to create the video since there were existing templates I could use. I used images and videos for different parts of the scenes for the video and I hope to […]
Today is World Teachers’ Day in Australia (25th of October 2019). It’s generally held on the 5th of October 2019 across the globe but since this date falls during the Australia school holidays it’s celebrated on the last Friday of October. It’s a great opportunity for everyone to recognise and appreciate teachers and the role […]
Yes, I paid $54.99 to renew one of my expired domains. I accidentally let the domain lapse and it was all my fault. The email forwards that the domain hosting company sent didn’t reach my main mailbox and even though I had reminders set in my calendar, the domain expired. I suffered because of this. […]
I’m not sure if this is the best way to Synch your runs from Samsung Health (I use a Samsung Gear S3 Frontier) to Strava but it seemed to have worked. I was originally synching the data between Google Fit and Strava since the runs synched between Google Fit and Samsung Health but there were […]
I just started using a software tool called Luminar to edit and make photos look “AWESOME”. It can be used for both Windows and macOS and I just wanted to share with you what it can do, especially the AI image enhancer. With this filter it just simply makes the images look so much better […]
