29 Apr This post is from from my other blog here There is nothing worse than computer problems, and there’s nothing better than free software to prevent them in the first place. One of my favorite utilities of all time, Winpatrol, has just updated to their 2008 version, and the company owner has provided me with an affiliate version that I can give away at no charge. I used to have a computer repair store in Portland, and our shop fixed anywhere from 30 to 60 computers a week that people brought in from various problems. Additionally, we did a lot of on-site service too, dealing with small businesses, setting up networks, file ...
25 Apr This post is from from my other blog here This week, Microsoft announced the launch of “Live Mesh” which is going to be their answer to the ultimate computer-nirvana goal of accessing everything you have, from anywhere you may be. Your files, email, pictures, documents, music, and basically your whole life, can be instantly accessible from anywhere you happen to be, as long as you have an internet connection. There are already people doing this with other programs, but Microsoft sees another revenue opportunity, so the’tve launched the Microsoft Mesh website, and sent out some private invitations. Here’s a first look at Mesh by a brave pioneer. The first thing I thought ...
14 Apr This post is from from my other blog here Before you start giving your staff a hard time about not developing links at a faster pace, or you start sending out those link requests to potential “partners”, ask yourself what’s in it for them? Obviously you can’t pay (gasp) someone to link to you, so what are you offering their visitors that would make it worth their while to link to you? Are you offering something hilarious? Are you offering a free giveaway of some sort? Does your website have a valuable resource that they can’t do without? I wrote a post last week that actually began as an e-mail to a ...

07 Apr This post is from from my other blog here I showed up late for breakfast, at about 7:40, which was only 20 minutes before the day was supposed to begin. The buffet (again spectactular) was set up in the hall, so with my backpack over my shoulder, I made my plate, and went inside to try and get a seat. Much to my surprise, I found that there were less than a dozen people there, compared to the 35 from the previous day. That’s when I realized that my decision to go back to the room at about 11:30 the night before had been the right one, instead of back ...
04 Apr This post is from from my other blog here The morning started out great with a buffet breakfast of rosemary potatoes, scrambled eggs, chicken apple sausage, thick sliced bacon, and an assortment of bagels and breakfast breads. I’m typically not a breakfast eater but I’ll never turn down something like this, and I piled my plate high and when into our private dining room. Taking my place at the table between a poker affiliate from Ohio, and a local San Francisco search marketer, I was surprised to find that four of the eight people at my table had been here before at Elite Retreat. Overall, I would say that the general ...
03 Apr This post is from from my other blog here As I write this we’re circling San Francisco Airport, and I expect to be told to shut down the computer in a moment, but I wanted to give my blog post about the first night at the elite retreat. There’s a limo that’s supposed to be waiting for me at the airport, and even though I’ve tried that two other times with no success I suspect that this time it will work, and there’s going to be a guy waiting for me with my name on a sign. Sweet. The anticipation of this trip has been building literally for over a year,since ...
01 Apr This post is from from my other blog here Mark this date down in history, because Google is getting really ambitious today. First they rolled out the ability to search future Web content, which is really slick. Although currently its active only in Australia, It will work on all .com domains, including my own, so I was able to easily take care of my blog posts for the next 90 days. Next, they announced Project Virgle, which is a joint venture with Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Group to establish a permanent settlement on Mars. Again, make note of this date, April 1, 2008, because it’s not something you’re going to read every day. Original content from: Search Commander Blog
