Blogger.net.au and the iSnare WordPress Plugin

wordpress-automation-robot-isnare

On April 27, 2008, I set up Blogger.net.au and wrote about the purpose of the site on InterNoetics (formerly martinetics.com). The post was oriented around turnkey-style websites and the ‘myth’ that they made money. It’s funny reading back on what I wrote back then because – although my opinion hasn’t changed in any drastic way [...]

Happy (belated) New Year!

I’ve been a little lazy lately… at least in terms of updating this blog. I’ve involved myself in a number of other projects that were all competing for my attention so finding the time for my own passion projects had to take a back seat. I’ve not followed up on comments, emails or support requests, [...]

GoogleNetics.com

google

You may have noticed the lack of activity on InterNoetics lately. As many of you would be aware, we generate new websites weekly. This technique forms the basis of our profitability (by spreading risk) but also enables us to easily identify what works so we know where to focus our efforts. One of our more [...]

First Impressions of Google Plus

google-plus

I’ve come very close to shutting down my personal Facebook account lately. The only reason I haven’t is because of the presence of various podcasts and websites that are essentially linked to my personal profile. I’m becoming more and more frustrated with having to divide my attention between half a dozen social networks that are [...]

Socialnomics Video 3: “Social Media Revolution”

social-media-world

It’s rare that we’ll come across an individual or business that isn’t tapped into social networks or social media in one way or another. It’s even less common that we’ll find somebody that isn’t aware of the paradigm shift in the way people now communicate, or the way in which we’re now required to conduct [...]

A Website from the Past

LEDLights

Behold, a web site from back when the Internet was a Wild Place … Do you remember the days when the internet was a novelty. When someone who had a web site was “cool”. They’d show you their web site and it would be full of Microsoft Clip Art and anyone who was not the [...]

Red Door Cafe, closed Sundays for … Family

RedDoor

My wife and I irregularly take breakfast at a charming cafe about 20 minutes out of Geelong Victoria where we live. It’s called the Red Door Cafe, Inverleigh. We don’t just go there for the food and fare. Don’t get me wrong – they do a gorgeous breakfast made with for the most part locally grown [...]

Happy New Year… and your Blogging New Year Resolutions

new-year

I would like to wish everybody a Happy New Year. I wish the best of everything for you all both professionally and personally in 2011. As I look back on the successes (and, yes… failures) of 2010 it’s the people I shared the journey with that made the journey worth taking. The joy – and [...]

Oprah and the ‘Big Mac for Comment’

oprah

In one of the smarter moves that Aussie tourism has made in recent years, they’ve just flown a lucky group of Oprah audience members to Australia. Oprah’s now officially on her way to Australia in the comfort of private jet while the rest of her entourage arrived in Sydney this morning. The plan to convert [...]

CessnaConquest.net

I’ve just uploaded another website to CessnaConquest.net. It’s a web based ground reference for pilots of the Cessna 441 Conquest. The generic engineering and systems website is designed to assist pilots undertaking Conquest type ratings/endorsements; or it can be used as a systems refresher for those pilots that fly it. The Conquest is a brilliant [...]

The Apple Experience

Ok, so if you’ve read some of what I’ve written in the past, you’ll know I’m not actually pro-Apple. Let’s get that right out in front, so we can move on with what I want to say.  Because what I want to talk about is a recent Apple tech support query which was … downright [...]
