New additions to the Internet Frontier Blog.

8 11 2006

Inspired by the reader base and part of tuning the blog into something that will be active and useful has resulted in two new categories called about the house and Family friends.

Posts to the blog are periodical and now they will have more of a family flavour. A bit less dork and a little more talk.

Stay tuned for the onslaught of words.

Poor Quality Cheap Goods.

4 09 2006

This is more of a comment on the cheapness of goods these days and the poor quality of things out there. I purchased some shoes for my 4yo son a month ago and the bottom has come off one shoes already, I won a t shirt in a competition and the armpits have come apart (I should shower more often I suppose) I purchased a robo vacuum for $95 and now it won’t charge up after I returned it once and now it does not work at all. I bought a cheap wireless keyboard and mouse and it misses every second letter and the mouse does it’s own thing.

Got a cheap colour TV that turns itself off and on (maybe thats a feature?) and a cheap antenna for it thats picks up snow even in winter.

Perhaps we are better oof having 1 good quality instead of a whole lot of cheap crap that ends up rubbishing our planet…. time to think about the simple things in life I recon … oh but I love my computer and the Internet.





Test Posting

22 08 2006

I am trying the new Windows live Writer Beta from Microsoft to post this blog entry.

It is reported to have a lot of features and will make blogging easier as you do not have to navigate to your blog to post entries. you can post them directly from your IE browser much the same as you can with Flock.

whats Flock?? 

 

I will tell you later. :-)

Frontier Website in for Overhaul

8 05 2006

The Frontier Internet Zone website is getting a major update.

Fronbtier PC Tutorings' flagship website www.frontierpctutoring.com will undergo major reconstruction this year to bring it back into line with FPCT busines plans. David Cook, owner of Frontier PC Tutoring says it is a major upgrade that involves a total rebuild of many of the features people are used to seeing on the site. He says the site had slowly lost its' primary role of educating new Internet users and introducing them to the many actvities available from the Internet and become "just another" shopping mall. The shopping options have proved popular and will continue to be available in the revamped site however they will be part of the education prossess and featured as an activity with information on how it works.

The website will undergo a name change back to the original Frontier Patient Computer Tutoring and the current site name will move to the frontierinternetzone domain and feature the curent format with sales and service options without the education tilt.

The new websites structure is said to be more interactive and will contain many features such as Internet TV and podcasting options.

The upgrade will take place in the second half of 2006.

Keeping on Topic in Forums

2 05 2006

Hello world. todays topic is about forums and how they seem to degenerate into slanging zones for people more worried about how they are seen and not about the content in the forum.

Do you find this problem? i mean, a person may log into a forum and post a topic about using MSN Messenger and before long there is an all out blue about mothers staying at home and not working hard enough. (Thats todays example) Go into any forum and there is a good chance many of the topics have a change of agenda before the final post is posted. I find the geeks and techs or (dorks like me) are less prone to leaving the topic and launching a personal attack on some one who does not agree with someones opinion. 

Forums are great but the challenge is to keep them on topic.

 

What are your thoughts and experiences? 





The 2 Most Important Things in Life

5 03 2006

Well this is my thought on life anyway and I am willing to share it with you for nothing. :-)

The two most important things in life are eating and going to the toilet.

Eating is the most important and what we eat is cruicial to how long we live.

Eating a wide variety of different coloured foods (fruits and vegetables) will help you grow, protect you from illness and keep your weight down. There are heaps of resources on the Internet that provide the types of foods you need to eat but it is a no brainer that a bit of everything is ok and too much of the wrong things is not good.

The 2nd most important thing is getting rid of the waste products your body produces from eating. You need to go to the tiolet (you can’t really get out of it anyway) and as long as you are doing both of these things under your own steam you are alive enough to be greatful about life and do something with it.

Have a great day.
