I just did a blog post over at one of my company websites Paid On Results affiliate marketing company. About the new charts and graphs we are installing this weekend on the Affiliate and Merchants control areas.

Lots of people have asked me about these graphs before, as most of you see them back at the start of August on a website of another company of mine House Price Spy, free house prices website. If you check out the graphs here for various house price trends you will see they look rather good and while like to take the credit for making them it was in fact a company called Fusion Charts, what is most shocking is the price points you can buy the software in at from as little as $69 all the way to $1,999 and believe me these prices are amazingly good especially with the flexibility on how you can use the charts. I expect to see a lot more Affiliate sites using these in future as why use boring dull crap looking charts when these stuff is such great value.

Time to update your Flash Player, to 9.0.124.0 (however that’s just until Adobe release another version hopefully soon) as looks like an exploit is doing the rounds on some websites that could install software to steal your usernames and passwords.

Article over at Security Focus, gives more details “Adobe investigates Flash Player attacks”. Update your Flash Player today at the official Adobe site, go here to do this now!

These days eBay selling stuff you no longer want is a lot easier, even taking the photo of the item has become simple task as more and more people these days have a digital camera.

I was showing my sister how to list items via eBay and I was shocked to see just how simple they have managed to make it, years ago when I used to buy and selling stuff on eBay for fun you had to know a bit of HTML to get a half decent listing, these days it’s one simple page that you fill in, upload your photo(s) on that page and press the button and your listing is live… costing around 25p to list the item.

So instead of letting your old stuff gather dust, waiting for the day you chuck them out, why not chuck them up on eBay and make a few quid.

Well that’s me finally switched away from Nildram to Zen Internet as my ADSL provider. Have been with Nildram for many years but the signal of their down fail happened many moons back when the service would have problems connecting to the World of Warcraft servers in France, but in more recent times they got bought over by Pipex and they in turn are owned by Tiscali and that’s when some of the more annoying issues started to appear, basically they switched all the Nildram customer on to the Pipex network and what basically this meant was that you where paying top dollar for a second rate service, you know the same cheapo service that your average person who has no clue about Internet providers would expect accept you would be paying pro-consumer prices and that was why I finally made the move to Zen Internet. Zen was on my short list many years ago when first picking an ADSL provider but at the time Nildram was who I went for, so here is hoping Zen works out as there is very few good providers left, so far so good!

When researching how to create a favicon.ico file (you know the little image you see in the address bar of some websites) I found the following website Dynamic Drive to be very good when you are looking for a favicon generator. The creator allows you to convert from gif, jpg, png and bmp files and can even deal with transparent gif or png files also.
