Affiliate Advertising
I should perhaps have been more mot-au-mot. I’ve looked into what you asked in your post a while ago. Being a trained ethnographer I have the marvelous privilege to have access to a large market rese…

Affiliate Advertising
Hi I have an advertising medium that is sort-of old school and new-school. Loads of research went into spread-betting it in order to maximize exposure at an optimized rate. But none of that ‘click to…

Jack of all trades
Yea. You don’t reel them in with your wider knowledge of skills but your expertise in one.

Often we are approached by clients in want of a video. They know what they want depicted but, very little consideration is given to the rest. A potential client often departs from the video producer with a spinning head and a disillusioned heart.

Do you know what “Duarte” mean? I knew but I forgot.
I’ve had the privilege to addend a workshop by Dave Duarte (Huddlemind’s creator).
One of the things that popped out at me is that this new generation doesn’t buy anything in the digital domain – they rip, copy or download it. It is pretty freaking…

I discovered an elegant little open app last night called: Resize-o-matic.
It is the smartest and simplest way of resizing pictures for upload, email or facebook.

Opensource coders aren't short of bucks I don't think. They showcase their skills on the opensource stuff, and often get hired for large amounts to customise their work for companies.
Also, I think it's important to make donations to companies like…
Yea, Guys like you and I make our living out of IP. Therefore we must fight piracy. Yet, can’t we help the open source coders to make a buck too?
Interesting point regarding anti-piracy culture. Agreed!
If companies aren't overly restrictive (DRM etc) it's easier to stay between the lines. Then that becomes the norm.
This is one of the reasons that I champion Creative Commons too.
Inkscape – a very intuitive vector editor. Open Office on some of my PCs, but those with Microsoft licenses I use the Microsoft one. There is a battery of smaller apps like Photo Resize that rapidly batch resizes photos for Facebook or email. I like…
I use Wordpress for blogging, Firefox for browsing, and Linux for web hosting.
Code is a mix of PHP (opensource) and .net (Microsoft), depending on what the client wants (.net is usually costs more).
Some people at our office use OpenOffice on thei…

- Sounds like you hate the funding aspect of your job, rather than the creative side.
I so know the feeling. My worst is getting listed on supplier databases.
Sorry, but I don't know anyone during this recession that has money to spare. (I obviously move in the wrong circles :))

- It sounds like you have your new direction, and the passion to make it happen. That's the hard part done. Now you just have to decide you're 'doing it' - and create the space you need.
I often feel that way just before I commit to writing each of my books. I earn my living from consulting and publishing - which I enjoy or not depending on the client- but my passion is writing.

- Yeah:) No excuses left. And there is nothing wrong with music, filmmaking or train driving. The first 2 appeal to me, but I have no talent in either. Train driving is a boys thing.
My books include: Blackboards, bubbles & Cappuccinos - about following your dreams :) See
http://www.changedesigns.co.za/Products/Blackboardbook.htm for a video review. Other books are "Ride the Wild Tiger" and "Mastering Personal Change." You can see them all on my website www.changedesigns.co.za or on google books to read sample chapters.
