It's only a few days to go to the start of the British Open Golf Championships at Royal Birkdale and my home town of Southport has been gearing up for it for months now.

Vista Black Screen Of Nothingness

Tue, 8 Jul 2008 14:57:10 +0100

Just spent most of the morning/afternoon trying to get on to my laptop after Vista decided to show a black screen with just the mouse arrow instead of the login screen. Looking round the net it appears to be a common problem with Vista but none of the fixes worked for me. Eventually I found that the following fixed the problem: On bootup press F8 Select the Repair option (already highlighted. I missed it to start with thinking it was the heading). On the program that loads choose the option to restore. On the list of restore points choose one from a few days earlier when you computer was last working. My last restore point had been created the day before the problem and was created due to a Windows update so assume this must have caused the problem. Once the restore has finished you should be able to login as normal.

Wimbledon match tracker spreadsheet added

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 17:29:30 +0100

It's Wimbledon fortnight from Monday 23rd June to Sunday 6th July so I've added a results tracker to help you keep track of how Federer, Nadal, Murray, Ivanovic, the Williams sisters et al are doing. Due to the number of players in both the Gentleman's & Ladies championships I've split them up into two files. The files contain three sheets, the first 3 rounds for the top and bottom half of the draw are split over two sheets with rounds 4 to the final on the third. All you need to do is add the game scores and the rest will work it's self out. The file can be found at http://www.spreadsheetsdirect.com/examples_wimbledon_2008.html

The entry cost and percentage split can be changed as desired.

8 Alternative Free Open Source Programs

Mon, 18 Feb 2008 12:41:14 GMT

With the price of some pieces of software in the hundreds it can be an expensive time adding all the programs you want to your computer. Luckily there are usually alternatives to be found for most programs which have the added bonus of being absolutely FREE! Here's a list of 8 free alternatives to everyday bits of software (actually more than 8 programs as the first one is made up of 6) 1) Open Office If you don't fancy paying the £80 or so for Microsoft Office, Open Office offers an excellent alternative. Included in the suite are Calc spreadsheet program which will let you open Excel files and create as good as you'll get in Excel although Excel macros and some formulas won't be compatible. Writer is the Word alternative and, not being a big word processor user, seems to do most of what Word does. Base is a database program which is sadly lacking from the basic versions of MS Office 2007. If you know how to use Access then you should pick it up easily enough. Draw is useful graphics package that lets you do sketches or more complex drawings. Impress is the PowerPoint of the suite. Your old Powerpoint presentations will work in it too. Math allows you create mathematical equations to enter into your other OpenOffice files. 2) Mozilla Firefox is a web browser alternative for Internet Explorer that is faster and more secure. You can have multiple tabs open at once to keep things tidy on your Taskbar(which has now been incorporated into IE7). Firefox also lets you install Add-ons, small pieces of software that can do various things to help improve your surfing experience. If you've got all your favourite sites in your IE bookmarks then they can be easily imported by clicking a few buttons. 3) Mozilla Thunderbird is Mozilla's email client answer to Outlook and with it being from Mozilla it gives you numerous Add-ons to install at your pleasure. Setting up accounts is fairly straightforward. You can also create filters to run on your mail to send them to certain folders or to send automatic replys. 4) Gimp is a Photoshop alternative that allows you to manipulate your photos to a high level. Most of the tools in Photoshop are available so makes it ideal if you're just starting to learn how to change your graphics. 5) AVG Anti Virus will give you protection against any pesky virus' that will try to infiltrate your system. Daily updates mean you've always got the best defense. 6) 7-zip gives you a free means of compressing or decompressing any zip files you might need/have. It is especially useful if you need to open your zipped files after the Winzip free trial has expired. 7) Nvu offers a nice free alternative to Dreamweaver allowing you to easily create your webpages. You can easily tab between different views allowing you to see the source code, a preview with html tags or how it would look in a browser. 8) Ubuntu If you're stuck on an old version of Windows but can't afford to update to Vista, Ubuntu is a nice alternative. Based on Linux it's a free operating system that comes with an easy way of installing all the programs you could possibly need, all of which are free. It will take a bit to de-windowsise yourself but once you get used to it you'll find it fairly straightforward. One drawback is that you won't be able to use your windows software on it unless you use an emulator but with free updates at least you won't have to pay a few hundred pounds out every few years to stay up-to-date.

New Betting Odds Calculator file

Sun, 17 Feb 2008 13:37:08 GMT

I've added a basic version of the betting odds calculator file that I've been working on. The file will allow you to enter odds for up to 20 events and calculate win or each way returns. You can also pick selections from the entered odds to go into a double, treble or higher accumulator and see what winnings you could get back. This is only a basic version as I am working on adding other bet types such as a Yankee and Lucky 31 but it takes a bit of time to get all the various bets involved in them working correctly. I'll update when it's fully finished (maybe in time for the Cheltenham festival). The file can be found at http://www.spreadsheetsdirect.com/examples.html#11. Hope it helps and good luck.

10 Top Links For My Business Sites

Thu, 14 Feb 2008 14:43:29 GMT

Here's a list of 10 top links that I've found useful in the setup of my business and creation of my website: 1) UK Business Forums An excellent forum that covers most things that you need to know for running your own business. Lots of knowledgable people on who can answer your questions. 2) WebCEO All round SEO program that lets you research keywords, optimize your site, submit/check search engine links, anlayze traffic and more. It does cost about £6 a month for the basic but I've found it worth the money. The traffic analysis gives you the search terms used to get to your site and also lets you keep track of any file downloads from your site. 3) Adbrite When you get banned from Google Adsense(I lasted just one week on it!) try Adbrite as an alternative way of monetizing your website or advertising your own. 4) AdsFlip A nice free way of advertising your site. You earn credits to advertise on the network by displaying other people's adverts on your site. Lets you advertise with banners or text only adverts. 5) Google Adwords It's the easiest way of getting your site on the first page of Google results and with Google controlling nearly three quarters of web traffic it's a must for a business especially in the early days. 6) Google Analytics free webpage traffic analysis. 7) Google Webmaster Tools Submit your sitemap and find out how your site is doing on Google. 8) Xinu Returns SEO site tool. Lets you quickly run a report showing how well your site is doing in search engines and social bookmark sites. 9) Yahoo Answers Answer some questions relating to your business area and in the source box add your site. Simple way of getting traffic from a major site. 10) Business Link Government run site that gives you all the information and links to forms etc that you need to set up your own business.

Calendar file

Wed, 13 Feb 2008 15:09:02 GMT

Just realised that I hadn't put a link up to a calendar file that I'd actually created a month or so ago. It gives you all 12 months and if you change the year at the top the days will update automatically. It should also print nicely on an A4 sheet of paper. You can find the link at http://www.spreadsheetsdirect.com/examples.html

Blidget

Wed, 13 Feb 2008 13:45:00 GMT

I found nice little widget that allows you put your blog in a widget that can be added to your sites. It's called Blidget and it's free too which is a bonus.

Firefox webpage view

Tue, 12 Feb 2008 10:57:54 GMT

Over the past 8 months since my site has been up it's always suffered from the problem of looking correct in Explorer but messed up in Firefox. Today I've finally managed to find a solution on a site and it's so simple too. Basically you just need to enter margin: 0 auto; in the div that is going out of alignment and it the page should appear in Firefox as it does in Explorer.

Betting Odds Calculator Update

Thu, 7 Feb 2008 19:12:21 GMT
