Theme Changed Again …

Sorry for the theme change again …

As much as I liked the last one design-wise a few people told me they found it too difficult to look at for long periods of time, so I’ve gone back to a simpler theme … I hope you like it …

URGENT: New Windows Exploit Discovered

Hi there … I hope you had a good Xmas …

So, back to the real world now, unfortunately …

A new security issue has been discovered with Windows operating systems related to how they display Windows Metafiles shown on a webpage.

It seems as though it’s possible to sneak into computers and install spyware - even if the machine is running a completely up-to-date patched version of Windows XP SP2 and other Windows version may be vunerable too …

George Formby, kiss my ass …

Hi there …

I hope you and yours have been keeping well …?

Apologies for the delay in posts …

I’ve been deep, deep, deep, deep undercover (name that film :)) working on a couple of new projects as well as helping to launch a new (non-Internet Marketing) product for a client …

It looks like it’s going to explode when it launches on Dec 5th … I’ll let you know how it goes …

In the meantime, here’s something else that’s nothing to do with making money …

Jason “Da Profit” Moffatt is linking to this incredible video of a guy called Jake Shimabukuro playing his ukulele in Central Park …

Now, for those of you who say, “So?” let me tell you … say the word “ukelele” in the UK and people will automatically think of an old recording artist called George Formby … who was around in the 30s/40s and was a cheerful, chirpy cockney type ….

But Jake is about as far away from that as you can get … watch the video and be amazed as he plays George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Sliently Weeps” like you’ve never heard it played before …

I bet he would’ve loved this …

Ken Giddens - RIP

Posted on November 3rd, 2005 in General, Misc, SEO | No Comments »

I’ve come back from a few days vacation to terrible news that Ken Giddens, SEO guru, died the other day …

I’m totally gutted - I learned tons from him in the calls and various articles/interviews I’ve listened to and read and hoped one day I might be able to return the favour …

My thoughts are with his family at this terrible time …
